Cartecay River New Year's Day Chili Run
Each New Years Day, the whitewater community gathers on the Cartecay River in north Georgia for a fun day of paddling, fellowship and warming up with a hot bowl of chili. This has been happening since 1982!
Jeff Little @TheLittleStuff tagged along this year and met several leaders of various paddling organizations in the area.
Unfortunately, this annual event might be the last one ever. Last year, legislation was introduced in the Georgia General Assembly that would have shut down access to this river and many others in the state. It did not pass, but private landowners in the state still have connections and motivation to try it again in 2025. Another bill sponsoring privatization of public rivers is likely.
The whitewater community includes paddlers, instructors, outfitters, tubers, clubs, manufacturers and those yet to join the ranks of the cheerful group of almost 300 people who attended this event.
It's going to take more than the whitewater community to fight this! Join the call to action can be found on our Georgia Rivers website garivers.org/protect-our-freedom-to-float-georgia-rivers/
From that page, you will find options to communicate your thoughts on this issue to Georgia Legislators, either as a Georgia Resident or Non-Georgia Resident.

    so,. Why not jam band tour this. Or benefit festival?, network bands & lobby folks in a MAJOR way to MAKE em pay attention?.."okee-aid"? ..or would that take away from the urgency/ time limit of rallying legislators & the governor to withdraw the draft permit??...if ya do, your gonna need some popular country & bluegrass though...maybe hit up the bluegrass fests coming up from NC to FL ?

    I could never have said it better. Varying ethic groups working together work like a magic drugs at healing society's racial sickness. We are all human. I am launching a 5 days Covid 19 Pandemic canoe camping trip on the Middle Flint River Aug 3rd 2020. It is a varied group of four guys. Sure to be a enjoyable time barring flood from the hurricane, But then again all paddling that involved strong storms are the ones you have fond memory's of the most. Georgia Damn Dams only produce 4% of the power we burn. That is not worth damming a river for.

    I live in Clyattville and adore the Alapaha river. Such a mysterious and beautiful place. Amazing creeks and small spring seeps in Jennings Fl. Right now the river bed is dry in that area. Your video was very informative.
