Camp out this weekend

Hello everyone, Here is the information for the canoe/camping trip this coming Saturday and Sunday (May 4 and 5).
We will canoe the Little Tallahatchie River to Hurricane Landing on Sardis Lake where we will camp. It will be a fun and full day of canoeing.
We will meet on Saturday morning at 9am at the southwest side of the Veterans Memorial Bridge in Abbeville. It’s about 20 minutes from Oxford on Route 7. As you approach the bridge, look to your left and there is a parking lot where we will meet. Here is a link with the general area, though the kayak access point is actually on the southwest side, not in the middle of the bridge as it shows:

Bring your own lunch, drinks, and snacks for the canoe trip packed in a gallon ziploc bag with your name on it. Wear a bathing suit and water shoes, shirt, and bring a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and sunglasses. If you have a dry bag, please bring it. Also bring a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, mess kit, and change of clothes and shoes for after the canoeing and for Sunday (this stuff will not be going on the canoe, we will be transporting it by car to the campsite so please pack it in a separate bag). We will use troop tents and not be hammock camping. There is a chance of rain for Saturday night so a rain coat might be a good idea.
We will provide the canoes, paddles, and life jackets as well as food and drinks for dinner on Saturday night and breakfast on Sunday morning.
Pickup will be at the Hurricane Landing campground (sites 17 and 18) Sunday morning at 10am.
