For those who wish to carpool\, please meet at the \nMTA Park-and-Ride in Bellevue and depart promptly at 6:15 AM. You may also meet the group directly at the refuge entrance at \n8:00 AM. \nDuck River Unit\, Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Entrance: 35.97407\, -87.95305 \nPlease dress in layers for the weather and bring water and snacks.
