300-plus Paddlers Ply the Coosawattee & Oostanaula During Paddle Georgia 2009
CRBI welcomed some 300 paddlers to the Basin June 19-27 as part of Georgia River Network's annual Paddle Georgia event.
The event was a tremendous success, raising more than $20,000 for river protection in Georgia. CRBI chapter organization, New Echota Rivers Alliance, will be one of the beneficiaries of the event's Canoe-a-thon fundraising effort.
Paddlers dashed through the Upper Coosawattee's whitewater below Ellijay, stroked across Carters Lake and then wound down the Coosawattee and Oostanaula rivers through Gordon and Floyd counties to Rome.
CRBI served up a Fish Fry meal to more than 250 paddlers and friends as part of the event's River's End Celebration in Rome.
CRBI member and Silver Creek resident, Alan Crawford, became the first paraplegic to complete all seven days of Paddle Georgia, inspiring many with his determination, fortitude and good-natured attitude.
