Itinerary:

Alright here is the scoop for this weekend. FISHING AND CAMPING ON THE CHATTOOGA RIVER!!

Saturday morning meet at the Indian trail park and ride at 7am and leave by 7:15am sharp. I am hoping to be at the trail head by 9:30am so we can get on the trail and get a good campsite.

We will be hiking in about 3-4 miles and setting up camp. We will then gather fire wood for the night. After that you are on your own to explore the area or do some fishing. If you are planning on fishing make sure that you go to walmart and buy your fishing permit for trout. I believe it is $18. you must have your permit on you at all times if you are fishing. If you are caught fishing without a permit you could go to jail and share a cell with bubba..yikes!!

On Sunday for those that want to try their hand at another round of fishing; we will get up early and catch the big trout. Please remember that we are not in a rush to leave. So feel free to laze about camp and to enjoy the sounds of nature.
