Since this is my first solo, I'm not terribly excited about putting alot of miles on alone, so I am thinking of trying a basecamp for the 4 nights. Here's the question-- I have read the reviews on Campsites up through Kelly, Jack and Wierd. That EP does lend itself to day trips to Temperance, Brule and the Fires, however. BUT I noticed that there are permits open for my trip dates on Homer. Plus it looks like there are permits for several days ahead of my travel dates, which may mean that the area is not going to be very busy? I haven't been to either areas (have been on Brule). Which EP would you all recommend for my situatio? Will fish some (would be nice to get one meal)--mostly want to get out and play with the solo canoe and explore. All my other trips are fairly fish intensive with my son. Would love your opinions. |

If you’re looking for a quieter area with less people then I’d pick Homer. One of my trips there was a short solo that I spent 1 night on Pipe and 1 night on Vern and I didn’t see any other people until I got back to Homer on exit day. Have a great trip. Many solo travelers started because of trip mates disappearing. My 1st solo was just to see if I could do it thinking it would be a 1 time thing, but I absolutely loved it and have done several. My first couple of solos I thought I wouldn’t go far, but once on the water I got in a groove and just kept going much further than I had planned. Be very careful. Solo tripping is very addicting. |
