Official Plan of Action Below:
Trip - Redstone Covered Bridge to Hiram - Roughly 45 miles give or take a few.
Friday - Those that can make it friday we can all meet up and spot as many cars as possible at the take out point. Hopefully enough so there is no spotting needed on saturday morning. Those arriving Friday we need to find a place near the put in spot to camp so if you have any ideas lets hear it.
Saturday - Everyone else arrives as early as possible so we can get a decent push off time. We will be leaving from Redstone Covered Bridge and there seems to be some decent parking close by for those arriving saturday. Does a 10AM launch time work for everyone? If you're running late we can always wait for you. If this needs to be a little earlier or later please post up and we can work that out. We will paddle saturday for about 15-20 miles and camp some where between Canal Bridge and Walkers Bridge.
Sunday - Get a decent push off time so we have a full day of paddling. We will have about 20-25 miles of paddling this day. We will camp somewhere after Brownfield Bridge.
Monday - We can take out time getting up and pushing off. We should only have roughly 5 or so miles to do this day so we can all get a decent start on the drive home. We will load up all the vehicles at the takeout point with all gear, kayaks, and people and shuttle back to the put in point in Conway.
Things to bring:
- LOTS and LOTS of bug spray! The bugs were INSANE last year.
- We brought some fire wood along as well and split it between all of us so we had some nice dry pieces of hard wood when in camp. Might be a good idea again.
- Food will be to fend for yourself, unless we all decide to pitch in a make some kind of feast.
Anything i'm forgetting or something needs changed above please post up and let me know.
Edit: Here are maps again in case anyone wants to reference.

Another Edit:
1960HikerDude offered up one of his kayaks for someone that does not have one. Please get in touch with him if you're interested. Also, do I need to make preperations to get any other rental kayaks here on base? Please let me know as soon as possible so we can figure out transportation. Currently I'm in 100% for this trip but I there may be a last minute hiccup if the military decides to finally send me home. But as i said i'm in for sure as of right now and will update if anything changes.
