I am planning to spend 4-5 days in the B.G. in Barkley Sound in early October, assuming semi-clement weather. Coupla questions: Anybody know about weather radio reception in that area? I have read fresh water sources shown on the my map might not be reliable at the end of summer. Any recent experience? Any suggestions for particularly pleasant campsites? I will probably camp on two islands and explore from them. Any comments/advice appreciated. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

Camping is only allowed at designated locations within the Broken Group, however the campsites I've seen are generally excellent (grassy, protected camping with composting toilets that are much less "odoriferous" than the average dorm room...). Also, in case you haven't seen it, there's some info specifically about the Broken Islands in the Paddlewise web site. My only complaint about this area is that it tends to be VERY crowded in the summer months, despite the user fees. However, this time of the year should be quite nice.
