I don't know if this suggestion will help but it works here for the Everglades National Park. For many years I would get so frustrated that we could not reserve a trip by phone days in advance. I had to rush over to the ranger station 24 hours in advance of trip to get a site, most of which were taken at high season so you had to be flexible. I however, have never not gotten a site and have always been able to do trips on the spur of the moment without worry of an outfitter or group taking over. We do however, share sites with other paddlers and unfortunately motorboaters so it is NOT a private experience but at least you get to be out there every weekend if you wanted. This issue about mixed user (paddle/motor) camping on islands I would like to bring to the parks attention in near future so let me know how your success rate was to get the park to listen to your suggestions. Unhappy the season is soon coming to an end :-( *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Mar 16 2000 - 11:01:03 PST
