Note: DO NOT use
MapQuest or any other map service from the internet to try to locate us,
our locations
will be shown wrong! In most rural areas, the mapping programs are wrong. Don't use OnStar either, doesn't work! For those that
insist, the address is: 2816 NW County Road 661, Arcadia, FL 34266.
Before
you hit the road, check with us
first to confirm which office you go to for check-in!
Note:
If you are coming from the east
coast on State Road 70, give yourself an least extra half hour to an hour
of travel time. The lure of the Super Wal-Mart as you come into town is proving
to be too much. Everybody stops.
You can't tell us you don't, we can see it in your eyes when you run up to
the check-in desk breathless and late!

are doing the Gardner Run any day of the week, the Brownville
Run any day of the week, or the Zolfo Springs to Gardner on a weekday or

If you are doing the Zolfo Spring to
Gardner or the Wauchula to Gardner Runs and your trip starts on
Saturday and ends on Sunday (or arrangements can be to stay out longer), you
check-in at the Gardner office. You go straight to Gardner, check-in there,
load the bus there, and leave your vehicle there. The bus takes you upriver
and drops you off. You then have the two days or how many days you are staying
out to paddle back to your vehicle in Gardner, no end of trip pick ups.

you'll come by the Arcadia office, check-in and we'll send you to Gardner to
meet the bus, regardless, you park in Gardner. Reservations are a must.
