Less hassle in safety, gear, logistics, provisions, etc. My V-W bus stays packed and I can be gone in about 15 minutes with a stop at a grocery somewhere if I am going alone. Even the addition of any/all of my 3 daughters tends to complicate the deal, though they are welcome and do go with me for long weekend campouts quite often. Most of my trips range from regular daytrips up to a 3 day weekend. I make a number of group events each year and always enjoy the camraderie within the larger group dynamics ...mostly. I think I have more "personal satisfaction" from going solo, but I have lots more "fun" when a relatively small group trip goes well. ....adieu .....Peyton (Louisiana) >************************************************************************ *** >PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List >Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net >Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net >Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ >************************************************************************ *** ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
