db, Are you going to be in that area in our time frame too?? IC

Sure! In spirit.

This particular board doesn't get enough play IMHO. It's tough planning a whole trip with someone you don't know plus it's a leap of faith but I've always been lucky with those.

The loose, everyone in solo canoes with their own stuff or just meeting up somewhere for a day or three with self sufficient paddlers is a great way to do it with a lot less effort. Every time I've done that I've always said if I don't show don't worry about me ('cause I know I might worry about them and I don't want to). All those were with people I kinda sorta knew and we've always connected ... sometimes not the day or exactly where we planned so while I've been surprised a few times, I've never been disappointed.

Enjoy!
