Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone has ever asked to join a groups trip on this forum?

I'm a 30 year old guy based out of MPLS, and have been to the BWCA 15+ times.
I have all of my own gear, a reliable car, and a two person Kevlar Wenonah Sundowner (18'-6").

The reason I ask stems from my want to get up to the BWCA more this summer, but on short notice.
This obviously makes planning a trip with my own B'dub buddies difficult.

Taking vacation with my current employer works best when we are between projects, as it's easier on my coworkers. There isn't a way to plan our slow periods, hence my subject title "Can I join your trip?"

I don't have any dates in mind right now, but would appreciate your suggestions and ideas.
I understand I could join a guided tour, but I would rather surround myself with similar folks that have their own gear and are self sufficient.

I typically enjoy launching out of the Grand Marais area, and am an experienced fisherman, canoeist, and outdoorsman.

An ideal trip for me right now would be to leave MPLS on a Wednesday afternoon and return to MPLS Sunday afternoon.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!

You sound like a future soloist!

I would suggest joining the Trip Partner Finder group at the bottom of the main messageboard page.

Wow, interesting - didn't know that was there, I always assumed that's what "Trip Planning Forum" was.
