Paddle GA 2010: One More Great Time on the Broad and Savannah Rivers
"Another Paddle Georgia has come and gone–building now on six years of memories, more than 600 miles of rivers, some 1800 smiling faces and more than $85,000 for river protection in Georgia.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so this year’s post Paddle Georgia blog post by Joe Cook is just that–pictures that prompt words. The first Paddle Georgia in 2005, back in the day when I was still shooting film cameras, I didn’t get to see images from the trip until a week later. Now, in the digital age, I re-lived these photographic memories each night of the trip. I suppose the advantage is that I’ve had ample time to ruminate on the images and the stories they tell." Read more of this blog post - re-live the trip via Joe Cook’s excellent summary of the trip in stories and pictures and Ben Emanuel’s entertaining daily blogs and pics from the trip at: http://garivernetwork.wordpress.com/.
