Hi Folks,

This is a request aimed at the paddlers from the Pacific North West.

I'm looking to do a trip up there in late 2013, and I'm after
advice/suggestions on activities/locations/timings. Our timing window is
late August to November, with a period of about six weeks travelling.

My thoughts at this stage are to spend a couple of weeks in the PNW
paddling, hopefully attend a symposium, and then be joined by my wife, a
non-paddler, for a few weeks in Canada, Alaska, and the northern US. I'll
then head home while she does crafty-type stuff in the US south west. Our
thinking is that way we can make the most of the seasons, north and
south, while not getting bored by the different things we do.

To that end I've looked at symposiums around the Seattle area, but they
seem few these days. Gary Jacek in Vancouver has offered to show me his part
of the world but I'm hoping for other's suggestions on places to go/things
to do.

I know it's a long way off, but time flys so I need to start planning.

Cheers

JKA
