I'm getting alot of fat to chew on here... and some pretty good suggestions,too! This is just an idea that gelled up in my little head this week,though I,ve been trying to mesh my passion for canoe tripping with my love for my "big two wheeler"for some time now,it's just now-maybe-hopefully,that the planets can be pushed into place and I could make this happen!   The UPS idea is good(I should of thought of that). The lean on an outfitter to help on either end idea is something that should have been obvious. The reverse trip makes a lot of sense ,too. I will have to focus on the' pick up an entry permit there 'deal a bit,too. Travelling on the bike is a little bit like in the canoe,you've got to give weather it's due regard...and be :)ing in an exact place at an exact time can be stressfull at the least.  You know,I never been there,but Ithink it actually is up hill headed south. Anyway,going from 'less people' to 'more people',seems like it might feel better after already having been out in the elements and the 'unknown' for awhile.   ...for  what?...how long? I'm just now thinking this out at all. I'm sure I should already know,but what's to be done about this park/specific RA... stuff? I'm really glad I have you guys to ask about this stuff_(priceless!)
