Horseback riding trip

Please don't forget the Release Form (Mystic Farms) mailed several days ago as an attachment...he needs to bring it in tonight along with his BSA Consent form and his check as described in the September 1 and September 15th memos in the Troop Blog Section of the Troop Web Site.

The fee is still 43.00 per person if he rides the horse (includes leaders) and completes the Horsemanship merit badge. The fee is $20.00 if he does not ride (includes leaders)He should bring a check tonight rather than waiting until Friday. Special required gear is a bicycle helmet and long pants for the horse riding.

If he has to come late or leave early, the address for the the program is 13762 County Road 42, Jemison, AL 35085.....going south on 65 take exit 218 and head east toward Jemison on Highway 42 crossing one intersection and continuing until you see the large, blue water tower on the left of the entrance to Mystic Farms. You can call me a 516-7161 to get to our site or continue into the site through the gate staying on driveway/road when you will see a big gate on the right and the bus down in a field as the road leads to it. We will either be there in tents or camping a bit farther down the hill. You can see the site in satellight version on Bing or Mapquest.

There are two large., well stocked lakes so he should bring his fishing pole and live bait (Walmart or whatever he prefers) and complete the fishing merit badge also as an option. The Troop has about five fishing poles/reels donated by Mr. Wes Smith he is welcome to use.
