Well it looks like this year I might get to do a solo trip, my first since 2001! I use to do a huge number of solo trips as I'm particular about who I canoe trip with. So other than doing trips with my Dad it was usually just myself and I love it. But with a new job, then a wife, then kids my solo tripping days sort of went by the wayside. I actually had a three day solo trip planned at the end of May back in 2009 but that weekend it actually snowed up here in Huntsville and the Park so I ended up cancelling.
So with my wife's good graces I'm planning another trip for the end of May before I head back to work in the Park. I thought I had a trip all planned out then I began looking over the Canoe Route Map and saw a couple of other trips that intrigue me. One of my obsessions is filling in gaps on my CR map where I haven't been before. So now I have three good routes that would fill in some new areas for me. The simple solution would be to do all three but the days when that would have been a reality are long gone. If I'm lucky maybe I'll squeeze in another solo trip in the fall.
So in a nutshell here are the three options I'm considering for my solo trip. I'll post a new poll below to hopefully get some feedback and if anyone wants to offer more than their two cents on the routes feel free to drop me a line.
