Rivertrek 2012

Day one of the paddle started in thick fog, and included a trek along Means Creek and a talk by Helen Light about the state of the coastal floodplain.

We started the morning paddling together, but as we separated into smaller groups, paddlers would disappear into the fog.

In the Grass, On the Reef is going down the entirety of the Apalachicola River, the source of fresh water for Apalachicola oysters. Join the adventure and learn more about the threats facing the river from Wednesday through Sunday, October 10-14.

In the Grass, On the Reef will be covering this year’s Rivertrek fundraiser to benefit the Apalachicola Riverkeeper. Before embarking on the 107 mile journey, producer Rob Diaz de Villegas joined some of his fellow paddlers on a tuneup excursion. The reason he’s going? Salt.
