Flora, MS. August 13, 2010—Keith Plunkett, Mississippi paddler and organizer of Lucy’s Revenge, will be continuing his August effort to paddle the Mississippi Gulf Coast by joining friends on the Pascagoula River August 14.
“I have been very much looking forward to the ‘Singing River’,” said Plunkett. “Part of what we hope to do with this project is not only raise funds for Alzheimer’s support services, but to highlight the beautiful waterways in Mississippi, and how those waterways support wildlife and the environment. You won’t find a better place to highlight conservation in the state than on the Pascagoula. I have my camera batteries fully charged and ready for this one!”
Plunkett kicked off a yearlong effort to paddle over 600 miles of Mississippi waterways in July on the Gulf Coast. He will begin focusing on waterways in the East Mississippi Region in September after finishing the Gulf Coast Region this month.
So far, Plunkett has paddled 127 miles and has been on the coastal waterways of Old Fort Bayou, Davis Bayou, Wolf River and the Escatawpa River. He has raised $2,231 for the Mississippi Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association in the first month.
