Cindy Anderson is leading the food planning so we should eat well. Participants should be strong enough to paddle for 5 hours and portage a canoe. Campsites are often small so tent sharing will be necessary. We will navigate with map and compass. A packing list and instruction will be provided if desired. A planning meeting will be scheduled in late July. I plan to bring along my 2 year old Cocker Spaniel, Mojo.

Max group size: 7 people (3 tandem & 1 shared solo canoe) Estimated cost: $50 + Friday night lodging + gas + possible light weight canoe rental. Deposit: $50. Max trip size: 7.
