{Update Friday, Nov. 6} We got blessed with an Indian summer day!! If you want to come out and lend a hand for a couple hours and be a part of this great event, come on out and join us. Celebration afterwards around a bonfire and a sleepover at Tom's farm.

We LOVE the Piney but the take-out at Walter Nunnelly bridge requires ropes or a lot of manpower to get our boats up an incline to the paved parking lot. We take a lot of pleasure with Tennessee's rivers. Here's your chance to give something back. When we are done, there will be steps made of railroad ties on that incline with a built-in slide down the center, like one of the access points on the Harpeth. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is partnering with us for this Adopt-an-Access and offered to provide rocks as fill for the steps. We'll make the Piney take-out better not only for us but for all canoeists, kayakers and the public to enjoy.

Three events are posted for this event. One for those who are willing to lend a hand, and the other two events for those who cannot be there but willing to adopt-a-worker. We need approximately $400 to pay for railroad ties and lunch for the workers. A $10 contribution adopts one of the workers.

Plan to attend a planning workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 27, place to be determined by number of attendees.

An address will be provided at which to meet to caravan to the Walter Nunnelly bridge.
