Hey gang,

I haven't had much to add for some time. My future bow paddler was born last year, and I lost my long-time sidekick last year. Been a rocky road for a while now. My bow paddler is coming along nicely though, he's 15 months old now, and he's a big, rough and tumble dude.

Talking to the wife this weekend, I have the green light for a shorter ~5 day trip, if I can make that work. Due to other commitments, it would probably have to be mid-August, like the week of the 12th or 19th. I'm just starting to look into what I might want to do. Also, debating if I want to try a kayak-based trip.
