Easy 14 day trip. I'd consider it if it wasn't a competition. Maybe one group that wants to go go go can go one way and the other can go a normal pace. I'll be the big 6-0 this year so I can now justify my lack of speed. :)

With everything that is going on and happened this year I'm not going to be able to do a border trip this up coming year, will see what 2017 brings.

Looking for 2 groups of solo paddlers interested in doing a border route trip, some heading East and some heading West, So we could meet and switch cars before trip, I would have a 2 week window or less, thinking around opening weekend in May, nothings is set, just seeing if there's interest.

I want to move just enough to see new stuff everyday with out killing myself, and even detour to see other things, I'm sure weather will determine layover days, 14 to 16 days is a lot of time to fish, take pictures, explore, relax and travel with out racing.

That's not so bad. I did the tuscarora portage with a fair amount of gear. Survived.

Interesting idea. Right now I'm just going to listen in and think about it.

It's flat and easy for the most part. The east end is a little more rugged, but goes quick.
