BOUNDARY WATERS -  AUG 2 - 7, 2009
THE PERMIT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR WITH ROOM FOR 7 MORE PEOPLE TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO AT A LATER DATE.  SO IF YOU WERE NOT SURE IF YOU COULD GO, YOU NOW DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION THIS FAR OUT.  AVAILABILITY OF CANOES AND LODGING MIGHT BECOME A FACTOR THE LONGER YOU WAIT AS THIS IS A PEAK WEEK, BUT EVEN WAITING UNTIL JUNE  IS POSSIBLE.  I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO JUST GET THE CANOE RENTAL, STAY IN THE LODGE THE NIGHT BEFORE (AUG 2ND) AND DO OUR OWN PROVISIONING AT A MUCH REDUCED COST.
THE COST IS ROUGHLY $450 FOR EVERYTHING.

CANOE: $100 PER PERSON,  ROOMS UP/BACK ON THE DRIVE $80 DOUBLE OCC, LODGE IN ELY, MN $45 FOR TWO,  FOOD EST PER PERSON $130, FISHING PERMIT $30,
OTHER MISC  $50

WE PLAN ON DEPARTING ON FRIDAY MID AFTERNOON, JULY 31ST,
DRIVE FIVE HOURS OR SO AND STOP FOR THE EVENING.
FINISH THE DRIVE TO ELY, MN THE NEXT DAY TO ARRIVE MID- AFTERNOON FOR OUR BRIEFING.  ON THE WATER SUNDAY AUG 2ND.  CANOEING 4 HOURS EACH DAY.  OFF THE WATER BY NOON ON FRIDAY AUG 7TH.  DRIVING HALF WAY BACK, AND COMPLETING THE DRIVE SAT THE 8TH.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

SINCERELY,
SCOTT ANDERSON
