Pit/Blind locations
Hi all,
My name is Richard, and this will be my son (Smythe 10 3/4) and my first year at Three Rivers. I wanted to know if anyone had GPS locations to all of the pits/blinds. Seeing how tough they are to find in dry fields with a truck, more specific info might be helpful below freezing and hip deep in gumbo.
Also, if anyone has any used youth waders or youth gear, I'd be happy to buy your hand-me-downs. Smythe can use a size 8-10 shoe size wader, or a boys large 16-18 shirt/coat.
I appreciate any insight or help, and I look forward to meeting those of you I don't know.
Thanks,
Richard Kuebler

For you & any other interested parties. My son & several of my friends son's have gone through a big growth spurt this last year. IF anyone has hand me downs, I'll post the info.
Our boys are 16 and most have grown about 3 - 5 inches in the last year, not counting shoe sizes. Scott Wages
I enjoyed talking with you this weekend, You will find that a few trips to the blind, and you will get use to them pretty quick. Like Grover said, The best way is to come to the work days. Even a few evening hunts will help, if you take the time to go early and see them, and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. Brace yourself for the fun of a lifetime with your son.

And sometimes just having someone ride on wheelers with ya out to the pits is the best way to learn them. I volunteer to be that guy. This is my third year in this club and I know way around pretty well.
It's sometimes easier to learn what levee to follow in to the pits. There are, in most cases" a direct shot to the pit from the dry road and following the levee around in the field can take you right to it.
Just remember: no levee jumpin! A few fields are sensitive to four wheelers and in the past when a levee breaks...it's a nightmare.
Hope to be of some assistance to you and your boy this season.
And again welcome to 3Riv's

As Greg mentioned, you can use the "maps" tab above to find gps coords for last years pits. When the google map pulls up you have to zoom out quite a bit and then you can click on pit locations and get info, such as gps coords, about each spot marked on the map. The best way to learn the pits, of coarse, is to attend workdays....during which you will see the pits up close and personal :)
A warm welcome,
Grover

Moo had a map on the site last year with GPS numbers of parking areas and pits. As well, pits will be flagged from parking areas to pits at the beginning of the season. If you ever need specific gps numbers let me know. greglholley@gmail.com
