Folks, I've been looking for a good place for a three week trip somewhere along the pacific northwest coast. I have not yet found the perfect place and was hoping for some advice. Here's what I've been looking for: o somewhere north of vancouver island. Canada is cheaper, but the coast in SE Alaska seems more suitable. o Someplace that has more protected shore line. Occasional or moderately exposed coast line is OK, but not any outside coast. o Somewhere that feels remote and of wilderness. What I'd most like is to take the ferry to one place then spend three weeks paddling to another place, and catch the ferry home. But I don't know enough much about conditions in SE Alaska and am having trouble getting information. What parts are privately owned and camping not permitted? What parts are currently being logged and would be unappealing? What parts are more pleasing? I'm currently looking at a trip to Kuiu island. I'd like to make this a loop trip by paddling around the north side, then portaging across the middle. But I hear that there is logging activity on the whole north part of the island. Would it be a very unappealing part of the trip? Any other suggestions? Thanks, Tom Unger unger_at_tumtum.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon May 17 1999 - 15:05:03 PDT
