I know approximately when John Flook is planning to be up at Neptune, and approximately when JimH is planning to be up there, and approximately when Don is planning to be at Northernaire Lodge (on Manitoulin in Bayfield Sound) as well. If we go the first week of August, we may overlap with all of them at some point or another. If we go the week of the 11-19th, we will miss at least some of them, if not all.

I know Dave Pendleton is considering coming over from MN as well. I'll advise him to talk to GEP about how long it is to DeTour- I think Mike spent 14-15 hours to get there in 2004. The UP stretches on forever, it seems. Nice thing for him though is that at the 12 hour point there are a few nice lakeside/roadside stops (on US-2) that would be nice to stop at and sleep in the boat cabin, if necessary. He could get up and still catch me at Drummond Island no problem.
