    The details are still being worked out but it might be prudent to signup as soon as tickets are available as this event will be publicized all over the SE!

    The 30 paddler group may just be for a portion of the 113 miles, over a week...

    This is going to be popular event so sign up ASAP! I'll post more information as it comes my way. As usual, leave all comments and questions in this forum thread as the question you ask may help others...

    If you're planning on purchasing "Event Paddler" tickets for specific days, please coordinate with Richard far in advance to arrange for the appropriate shuttle rendezvous.

    We've started using EveryTrail.com to distribute the GPS and Google Earth files to the community.

    This is the link to the trip listing where you will find the final version of the Google Earth .kmz file and .gpx files (for your GPS). Feel free to download them. If you have anything to add to it please share it with me (send me your version).

    Y'all have fun. When you paddle through Centreville, I belive that there's a park on your left where you can stop. Cross the river bridge to "Four Points" and enjoy some barbeque at "Twix n Tween".

    Cheers,

    Hey Gerry, good to 'see' you again. I've been meaning to link to your folding kayak forum post...

    Boy, I love BBQ! Thanks for the beta. I'll check 'em out and escalate it to Richard to factor into the plan -if they pass my 'true BBQ' test...

    Looks good:

    Twix n' Tween - Centerville
    (297 Walnut Street, 35042 - 205 926-4401) 24-hour cafe and truck stop; Blue plate lunches, BBQ pork and homemade pies keep the loyals coming back for more!

    Described as a

    legendary BBQ restaurant

    Absolutely!! I go out of my way to go to Twix N Tween whenever I'm down Alabama Way (I'm in DC).


    Twix n Tween in Centerville is no longer cooking on site, but the pork was as good as ever the last time I was there. April 2007

    having spent the last two weeks traveling on interstates between campgrounds and rural towns, I can assure you that there's plenty of variety there as well. Yes, there's a Wal-Mart in Centreville, AL. But there's also the Twix-N-Tween, which has some of the best barbecue in the southeast. 2004

    Now I'm hungry.
