RIVER OF GRASS CANOE/KAYAK EXPEDITION
January 2-7th, 2010
Celebrating the Everglades Coalition's 25 Years of Activism
ARE YOU A HARDY SOUL, IN FIT CONDITION, AND AN EXPERIENCED PADDLER??
DO YOU LOVE OUR EVERGLADES??
ARE YOU A SCIENTIST? ARTIST? TEACHER? JOURNALIST? SPORTSPERSON? HEALTH PROFESSIONAL? PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONAL?
If you qualify in the first two categories and at least one of the professional categories in the third--the RIVER OF GRASS CANOE/KAYAK EXPEDITION January 2-7th, 2010 may be for you!!
This bold venture marks the 25th year of the Everglades Coalition's annual conference, and launches West Palm Beach's Year of the Everglades. West Palm is the host city this year for the Coalition's big event.
The 77 mile route begins at the point where the Kissimmee River flows into Lake Okeechobee, travels around the NE rim of the lake and South to the point where the L-8 Canal leaves the lake at Sand Cut, travels down the L-8 Canal to the junction with the M Canal, and then travels the M Canal to the Visitors Center at Grassy Waters where the expedition will be met by the 2010 Everglades Coalition Conference delegates on January 7, 2010.
The last leg, into Grassy Waters, is especially significant to the City of West Palm because it traces the city's water supply source from The Everglades flow system. There will be a Grand Finale Flotilla on this last leg, where all who wish to join in the paddling procession into Grassy Waters on January 7, 2010 are encouraged to join. More information on how to participate in the Grand Finale Flotilla will be available later.
