ITINERARY

We will meet at Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area at the Cedar River Boat Ramp Area (#5 on the map https://muscatinecountyconservation.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/area_saulsbury.pdf ) at 0700 hours to get a ride to the launch area with gear.  Folks will park their car here.  If people want to arrive here the night before and camp at Saulsbury so they don’t have to leave so early from home, they can.  They don’t take reservations, it’s a self-registration system. 

Here’s the link for more info on their campgrounds at Saulsbury.  https://muscatinecountyconservation.com/mccb-areas/saulsbury-bridge-recreation-area/saulsbury-bridge-campground/
