I am planning on doing a 5-8 day kayak trip in the Desolation Sound area in British Columbia in early September (Although I am still toying with the idea of going all the way up to Johnstone Strait instead - just not very excited about the 12+ hours of driving to get there from Seattle). My questions are as follow: Question #1 - Recommended put ins - especially places where people don't get annoyed with kayakers using a launch but not buying the amount of fuel that a typical power boat launcher would. I would prefer if they are near one of the sea plane landing areas as we may have a person from our group flying up after work to save vacation time. Question #2 - Good places to leave a vehicle Any other information. My general plan so far is: Desolation Sound - about 250 miles + 2 ferries (about 8-10 hours) drive up with the boats from Seattle. We plan on having anyone that is flying up from Seattle get there in the early evening so that we can put in the water on the 4th and head home on the 12th. We plan on paddling about 10-16 miles per day and with only two definite committed and one maybe paddler have room for two more for the trip - E-mail me if you're interested.

Saul: I'm not in a position for such a trip this year. Still working on plans for next year however. Please post a trip report... if you have time for a lengthy one, I'd love to hear from you directly. Although it's been discussed here, have you gotten a copy of Kirby Stevens' maps?
