Good question. I generally an a last minute planner based on seeing a gap in my schedule without much I have to get done. I'd like to go to Paddlefest in Old Forge NY and take off from there for a week on North Forest Canoe Trail - basically Old Forge to Saranac. Hope to research a trip to Wabakimi at Canoecopia - board train in Toronto and get off at Allanwater Bridge 24+ hours later. Who knows  if it's practical. Someone told me Kevin Callan did it do hope to talk to him a Copia.  If that doesn't work will look at a fall trip somewhere in BWCAW picking up my son in Chicago on way there. So some thoughts much earlier than usual.
