I wouldn't invite back a few who have joined us in the past. I bumped into my family physician at a gas station and (knowing he paddled the BWCA) invited him on a whim.  He agreed!  Go figure. Each new year, another adventure patching a foursome together.  prouboy

P_B Kept trying. You never know where you'll find a great tripping partner. Make the best of each trip though.

I found a guy who'd gone to a LLC family cabin for years and was always curious where all those canoes were going.
Took him once, and he loved it. Game for anything or just taking it easy.

db, My "not again guys" are mostly the Passive Aggressive type. They won't take the responsibility of expressing their wants because they want to save the option of complaining if it doesn't work out. So far I've always given these guys a second chance trip. When they start complaining I lay out the options we have from where we are. But they still fail to make any commitment other than following. I just encourage them to do their own trips now. Some might, some won't.
