Robert Fuller is only partway through a 1,500-mile canoe trip, but he’s reached a big milestone — Apalachicola. The North Georgia College & State University professor of geosciences began in September at the tip of the Chattahoochee River. He’s not just paddling; he’s collecting data about the water quality of the river system, which he will analyze when his trip is over in December.
