0214paddle5
The University of North Georgia’s Robert Fuller greets a crowd of friends, family members and university staff as he arrives at a friend’s home along the Etowah River.
Few know what it’s like to travel alone down a long and twisting river, with just your own resolve and best-laid plans to get you through the tough spots. Fewer still know what it’s like to make that trip paddling upriver. In fact, Robert Fuller may be the only one who has ever traveled up the Mobile, Alabama, Coosa and Etowah rivers and also traveled down the entire length of the river system that begins with the Chattahoochee and ends in the Gulf of Mexico.
