as db pointed out, finding other paddlers to go with was the original purpose of this forum - and of the "profiles" and questionaire at the top of this forum.

if you haven't filled out a profile yet (I didn't look) it would be a good idea to do so, so that your preferences are out there for people to see


you could do the same thing over on BWCA.com for a somewhat wider audience; and if you want to be somewhat more adventurous, over on Paddling.net (a much wider audience) which has a "Getting Together & Going Paddling" forum for that purpose.  might be easier to find people from your area on there, so that you could do some shorter "getting acquainted" type of trips before commiting to a longer Q trip to check for compatibility
