Marten and all,

       I am in with Joe (portagekeeper) assuming the logistics and cost work out. Joe and I prefer a later time which seems to fit with what has been discussed already by others. Ideally we would enter after 8/15 and it could be a little later for a 10-14 day trip.

     I am also planning on being at MWM with Wayne and Jimbo to talk to Harlan-Joe is thinking of joining us.

    As we get closer, we get logistics figured out and we get people to commit we should consider deposits as a show of good faith and commitment. It won't do any of us any good if people talk about going but never seriously make the commitment-it could derail the effort quickly.
