Right now I am looking for 7 people to go with my dad and I.  The demographic I care about is the abiltiy to carry a pack or canoe and a good attitude.  Age can be a factor if people are to young and can't handle the weight, but we use 42 lbs. kevlar Minnesota II's that most people can carry. 

There will be pre trip meetings once we get a roster, but right now I don't have anybody signed up.  That way we can set up the menu and car pooling if people wish to do so.  I got kind of a late start this year plannig the trip due to family issues and work.

We will do in person meetings for people that can logistically do so and telephone confrence with the rest during the in person meeting.  I like to use Skype so we get some face to face even if through the computer.

You might also tell people the character of the trip.  The distance From Stanton Bay to Nym could be handled with a one-night trip.  Are you planning on traveling into the interior staying at each campsite for 1-night?  Or paddling to a spot on Pickeral, staying there the entire trip, and paddling out to Nym?  Those are two completely diffeent experinces, especially considering the crowds on the Pickeral Highway.

Thanks for the advice.  We are planning to head into the interior of the park.  What we are going to do is travel for a day and stay an extra night at each camp for fishing and relaxing.  Also we might do some exploring of some of the lakes around camp on the layover days.  So the trip will be about 4 and a half days of traveling with 3 layover days.

Can you be a little more specific about your proposed route? Which lakes do you plan to travel? I think that the more details you provide, the better for stirring interest...

Also, if you need info about these lakes, you may find it here.

Well we got the route pretty much nailed down.  Nym to Jesse on day 1, Jesse to Sturgeon on day 2, lay over day 3 for fishing and exploring.  Day 4 Sturgeon to Chatterton near split rock falls and lay over day 5, Day 6 Chatterton to Pine Portage Bay, lay over day 7 and paddle to Stanton Bay on day 8.  The food is up for discussion.  We have 3 signed up and need 4 more.
