MM - - how soon do you need commitment on that Main trip? I'd love to go, but just signed a contract to remodel my house, demolision starting tomorrow, lots going on, and I'm just plain scared at the moment. Would also like to see if I can line up a travel partner, check in with a friend in Kennewick who I might hook up with for a back-to-back on the Grand Ronde, and find out what the skinny is on your trip too. I'm rowing a dory if at all possible. I can bring lots of gear, including those terrific rain tarps I mentioned, and so on. But I'm just a little shy of saying go/no go here at the end of March, with everything else going on. So let me know how it looks. I'm a comfortable, low key, no-drama, experienced boater (32 years, believe it or not) with too many irons in the fire this week! Thanks bud! Let me know.
