I ran into several people with family there, and they were all friendly and welcoming. I will start at the end behind the church. You can take Hwy 75N to Hwy 68 and turn right to get to McVille, or you can start in Boaz at the intersection of Hwys 431 & 168, and go north on 431 to the next light, hang a right on McVille and go 5 miles down the road.
