We did a self guided...not knocking anyone at goldseekers. We got great help through the park's office in Red Lake, have forgotten the gals name...on the tip of my tongue....dang! Super nice never the less!

Marlin55388,

Would that have been "Claire"?

That individual has been extremely helpful to our group's preparation for this year's trip.

Also... Prouboy's words-to-the-wise re: treading lightly on the fragile ecosystem of WCP are much appreciated & will be heeded as much as possible by our group.

We are excited at the prospect of coming to appreciate the differences between the ecosystems.  I have already ordered the books that Supt. Doug flagged for me in his QJ thread.  I figure I have at least another 10-12 years left (physically) to tackle challenging new places.  I plan to make the most of those.
