You might want to do a little pre-trip trip with those cops before commiting to a real trip.

I have few active duty/retired cop friends, and while it's not good to generalize anyone, I can honestly say that without exception they're prone to do things that would get you arrested because they belong to that blue fraternity

I respect them for doing a hard job that takes a toll, but many can't leave the job and the mentality that it takes to do it behind when they're doing "civilian" activities.

I have a cop/deer hunting story that's illustrates my point but it might be better in a PM if your interested.

PJ -- Deal. 

Currently sitting in a hotel in Cleveland, after an 11 hour drive from Vermont, and looking at another 13 hours of driving to get home. 

I'll PM you when I get there.  Looking forward to bagpipe music.

I never cast away those who wish me goodwill. Oh well........to each their own. If you ever change your mind I never hold grudges (I hope things work out for you.)

Where were we anyway? Is this thread about planning or is it about leadership?

I with Prouboy, I want to go canoeing with PJ.  I meet PJ's three C requirements, plus I can be a jerk.

Geez, I keep extending the olive branch and keep getting smacked, but that's OK.    
 

Mike -Anytime brother.

MT - Thanks for making my point for me.

ST - Pascanell is 10x the person I will ever be.

As long as I don't have to wait on someone or baby sit them, I don't really care what they do.

Group solo gives people the freedom to do their own thing and in the evening you can socialize as much/little as you want.

Tandem in a group you can do the same, as long as you/paddling partner are similar in styles.
What I hate is the idea that the majority has to cater to the needs of a single/few who decide once underway that they no longer want to do the trip they agreed too.
