	OS, Sounds like a great trip - you've got my interest....plus, what group would be complete w/o the FNG to go with all those allstars! I'll have to see, though as 2017 is the year we're planning on taking our Scout troop up there again. I still need to catch up with you on that topic. pd

They are protected and wild. Only one party per day can enter. Much wildlife in the area..... Hmmmm... park officials trying not to overfeed the bears, eh??? Jimbo

I would like to do it in 2016, but family circumstances have conspired against it. My wife has a recent diagnosis of cancer which is fast growing and spreading. Her treatment plan makes remote travel unwise for at least a year. We had to cancel our Alaska trip for September. Her outlook and prognosis is good and we expect her to be cancer free next year. We feel confident that 2017 is a good timeframe. If any wish to go next year, I would be happy to assist with planning. Your prayers for her health and recovery are appreciated. We know that God is the healer.

My bro-in-law is 10+ yrs on with Multiple-Myeloma, most people don't make it past 5 yrs. They both have positive attitudes, don't give up and know that they need to do their part for the Good Lord to do his. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a cancer free life from here on in.

	Thanks. We appreciate the encouragement. I don't want to sidetrack this thread. We are at the Mayo Clinic, and have the best care on the planet. Linda is a fighter and we have every confidence that in a year or less she will be cancer free. Now, back to Alaska planning. I want this trip to be a QJ group plan. Everyone who goes needs to have 'skin in it'. Kind of an internet first.

	Can I assume this is a co-ed venture? This is something that my wife and I would like to do together.

	I have no issue with co-ed. My wife has no interest in rafting. Can't speak for others... It depends on numbers. As for getting together before/after rafting trip, feel free to make your own plans. We will be spending before/after time with family in Alaska.

	We have a new forum thanks to db for planning purposes. It is in the Inukshuk Rendezvous. I have posted a preliminary cost estimate there. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
