Hope you can join us for our 3rd annual autumn paddle to MMP in Gatesville, NC. We always have a good time and the scenery is spectacular. Come paddle a cypress swamp cloaked in Spanish Moss and look for winter arrivals and late migrants. BYOB (canoe/kayak) or rent at the park. Rentals cannot be reserved but we have never been there and seen the canoe rack empty. Admission to the park is free and the canoe rentals modest. Bring boating gear, PFD, water, snacks and dress for the weather. Some of you....might want a 2nd set of dry clothes ;-) Meet at McDonald's at Route 10/295 in Chester at 7am on Saturday with a full tank of gas or at the park entrance. The trip is 96 miles from Chester. We will paddle as long as the group wants or before the alligators get us. To sign up call Julie Kacmarcik at 530.3660 after 8:30 pm and before 10:30 pm or email juliekazz@xxxxxxxxxxx http://ils.unc.edu/parkproject/visit/memi/home.html Hope to see you Saturday, Julie K.
