Is this an open invite now? I'm not complaining but it just seems like we are getting alot of ppl going, apart from the person bringing them none of us know them. I personally don't care but, if everybody brings a friend then inevitably they will hang out almost exclusively with whom they brought so I'll want to arrange a buddy to come with me as well. I'm sure once it gets closer we'll be able to compile a list so we can see how many water craft we need. Also a suggestion can we get rafts instead of canoes this year? My buddies float on rafts and they are more stable draft shallower and you can haul more stuff. I think we all remember the soaking wet sleeping bags.

There have nearly always been new people on the trip. I didn't know those 2 guys last year. it's sort of tradition to do canoes... makes it more exciting. rafts are more for booze-fests... but, I can be flexible if everyone else wants to do that. We'd probably do a much shorter float if we do that because they travel about half the speed. discuss! looking forward to hanging with you all! no big deal.

It never turns into a "hang out with your buddy you brought" type thing. In fact it has always been that they make new friends with everyone. Obviously who we invite is important because they have to be someone that we can all get along with (seriously, who invited Peter Sluis that one year?) but most likely we'd all get along with any of our friends friends anyway. I am glad that Brandon Hammond and Mark Roland and Josh McAleese are people that I've got to meet and become friends with because of the float trip. I wouldn't be averse to going on a raft, especially since we're on a new river. What if we do a one-day float, but we make it take 2 days? That way we can dawdle and swim and goof off more.

I can maybe tangle up 100 bucks for the weekend..that's for all the stuff and gas etc. We need to figure if we want to take two cars or one large vehicle..like a van, limo, or Ryan's Beast.
