I am planning a trip this July as a Sierra Club outing and need some paddlers.  The trip is July 30th through Aug. 6th.  My father and I are leading the trip starting in Stanton Bay and ending at Nym.  The cost is $500.00 and the group will meet in International Falls email me if interested.  Sierra club membership not required.  email: lo86blazer@aol.com

Wow...you had me until "Sierra Club".  What would you do with the $500?  You mean you "complete outfit" me?

What's the difference between a Q trip and a "Sierra Club Q trip"?

Not a scam at all.  The $500 pays for all park fees, food and canoe rentals.  I provide all the kitchen gear and portage packs.  All you bring is clothes, bag and tent.

There really is no difference in a normal Q trip or a SC trip.  It just gives me the insurance backing in case of injuries.  Even when it wasn't a SC trip I taught the leave it cleaner than you found it principles.

I am a police officer near Seattle, WA and I plan a trip every year and try and bring people that are new to canoeing there, but this year my dad and I got a little behind in getting our trip out there so I am just trying to fill the group.

Anyone that still thinks it is a scam email me and I will send my cell number and you can call me.

Getting in bed with the Sierra club for insurance is tough.

it also helps by getting the trip out there in areas where there is no canoeing like in Quetico.  I don't follow the ultra left wing views, but I do like the envirmental conservancy and clean up they do.

How many people are you looking for? What are the demographics of the groups so far, any pre trip meetings, other than the meet in IF...sharing of contacts and the like...Do you plan the menu?
