I'm fine with email (as so far I have successfully eluded Facebook), but I do think that some chatter should happen here as well. If people start backing out, others need to be kept aware of what's going on... i.e. we may need to fill some spaces. In trying to arrange portage clearing trips for ten years, I have found that many CAN back out before the go date. So far I am seeing costs of roughly $2000 - $2500/person for the trip that Bog's and I want to take. When people see the numbers, some will likely get rattled.
