November 2001

The Cabalgata of Padre Kino.  A group of horseback enthusiasts from Sonora and Arizona, plan a commemorative ride down the lower Gila River valley to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Kino’s crossing of the Colorado just below cabalcadathe junctions of the two rivers. The ride will occur on November 17 through 20, terminating with a bar-b-que dinner at Riverside Park in Yuma. The next day, November 21, there will be a special fiesta in Mexico when the members of the cabalgata and the public will gather on the banks of the Colorado where Kino made the historic crossing. The public is welcome.
