The only planning I do is considing the limits of my tripping partners. It's good to journal their feelings during a trip and not wait till memories fade.

So far;
Only one longer portage a day.
More layover days.
No dry creeks in the fall. Pulling canoes through mud, not good.

New to the list is better fishing. They saw the pics of our tow partners on the way out that had stayed on McAree all week fishing. They don't understand how much effort those guys put into fishing, just saw some nice fish pictures.
Thx Dan  ::)
