Just a point of clarification.  You list yourself as Northman, but your profile states that you are female.  So which is correct.


That would be my fault due to (I'm guessing) a 2004-5 script update. Ooooh have you seen the new privacy policy?  Grin

as db pointed out, finding other paddlers to go with was the original purpose of this forum - and of the "profiles" and questionaire at the top of this forum.

if you haven't filled out a profile yet (I didn't look) it would be a good idea to do so, so that your preferences are out there for people to see


you could do the same thing over on BWCA.com for a somewhat wider audience; and if you want to be somewhat more adventurous, over on Paddling.net (a much wider audience) which has a "Getting Together & Going Paddling" forum for that purpose.  might be easier to find people from your area on there, so that you could do some shorter "getting acquainted" type of trips before commiting to a longer Q trip to check for compatibility

Thanks for the great advice on this. I'm going to check out the American Canoe Association website. I'm looking at scouting out a route or two in Q in May/June for my family (to do in Aug) and will probably have to solo it as my wife teaches and kids will be in school. Come to think of it, I need to get myself a dog to accompany me...that cat is useless around our house! Anway, I'm in the twin cities if anyone is nearby and still hasn't locked down a canoeing partner for that timeframe. I certainly echo the sentiments that's all about adjusting expectations and going with the flow --- as long as you're out in the backcountry, why not just enjoy yourself no matter how the trip is turning out  Smiley. Anyone can ping me here if it works into their plans. Thanks again for the great advice on all these forums.

being from the great north woods of wisconsin and growing up with nothing better to do than fish and paddle, i have a pretty large group of guys to choose from when it comes paddle partners. however, i was also blessed with 2 brothers that share the same interests. after college/marriage/moving, i lost touch with a few of them, but a bunch of my coworkers also have common interests. i consider myself pretty lucky.

on top of that, my father in law and i started a paddling club to meet up with like minded people. most people are kayakers so i tend to be the only canoeist, but its still fun

check us out on facebook!  "ROCK'S"
