Not that im aware of Randy.

[Briana Conley]

I know Heidi will be thrilled to see Wayne! Do you plan on biking as well?

[Randy Morgart]

We’re not at the moment, too many things going on here, if we get caught up I’d like to take Wayne to the tunnel and the bridge, been years since I was there.

[Randy Morgart]

It worked this time, earlier i logged out and back in a couple times and it still wouldn’t let me select tickets. Thank you!

[Dorine]

It works most of the time, i am curious how many boats we can invite. How many boats can we invite dave?

[David Haessig]

I don’t think the us a maximum number. I didn’t put on for this trip, unless Carolyn put a maximum number.

[Dorine]

Ok, appreciate the information.

[David Haessig]

Several people are going to bike ride on the Tunnel Trail on Sunday. This is not a club sanctioned part of this trip, but will be open to anyone who want to join us. The plan is to ride from Vienna to the parking lot just past the tunnel and we will turn around and bike back. this will be about 20 miles.

[Maura Reinhart]

Work is going to keep me from camping Friday. I’ll be down Saturday morning and will camp Sat night if I can get a site.

[Briana Conley]

Heidi and I have tickets and we will definitely be biking the tunnel trail as well 🙂

[Carolyn Knarr]

There is no maximum number for this trip. Sorry you had issues, Randy.

Barkhausen-Cache River Wetlands Center is closed due to staffing shortage. When I did the cache a couple of weeks ago, the gates were locked so you cannot get into the parking lots. 37.29811, -89.05284 is the cords for the put in.

[Dorine]

Darn. Thank you for tge information

[David Haessig]

Ferne Clyffe State Park did not have any reservable campsites available when I checked.

[David Haessig]

I plan to bike ride on the Tunnel Trail on Sunday. The goal is to ride from Vienna to the store that is just past the tunnel and then get some ice-cream there and ride back to Vienna. In total it will be a little less than 20 miles of riding.

[Jim Bensman]

A few tips for the trip since I will not be there. The trail to the 1000 year old cypress and Eagle Pond is marked. But much better if you have the OSMAnd app as it has all the trails and the best trees marked. See my post in the general section. The big trees I have marked show up real small. So click on the search icon, search for tree then select show on map and they will all show with a big icon.

Best route to go, to the state champion cypress, then Eagle Pond. You can usually find a place to get out of your boat on the north side of Eagle Pond for lunch. Start with directly across from the huge tree with the hundreds of knees. The nicest place to go after that is on the other side of the Cache River south of the putin. There is lots of open water with really nice trees. This does not appear to allow me to upload a picture of the map to show where the spot is.

You can get lost out there if you go off the main trail so really good to have a map in OSMAnd. Remember it is free.

Dave,

My son and I are a possible for this trip depending on when we would finish the paddle on Saturday. What is your best guess as to what time that would be? Dennis

[Dorine]

Jim B has provided coordinates 37.29811, -8905284 0r you can search LOWER CACHE RIVER ACCESS. 930 am start, do not go to the wetlands center to meet as its CLOSED .

[David Haessig]

We should be done Saturday @n3:00.

[David Haessig]

The weather is looking great for Saturday. It will be a little cool so you need to dress for immwersion or bring extra clothes in a dry bag. Remember do not wear cotton.

[Maura Reinhart]

I don’t have a dry suit or spray skirt, just a farmer john wetsuit and neoprene jacket. Too cold for that?

[David Haessig]

That will be enough protection.
