Details:
Our leader will introduce the Plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements and any concerns that you may have. Please stay off the water until we are all ready. The leader may choose to enlist helpers and establish communications protocol. If you have VHF radio please bring it with you.
Plan A:
We will camp on the south end of Wallace Island and do day paddles which conform generally to the SISKA 'Relaxed' criteria. Hiking is available on a trail the length of the island. An evening hike is a possibility. This paddle is specially designed for people without a lot of camping experience and support will be offered in planning and gear acquisition.
Plan B:
I have looked at conditions which appear (2 days in advance) to be very benign for our outing so it is unlikely that a Plan B will be required. If there is a crowd at the intended camping spot we will go to an alternate, still on Wallace Island.
