Plan?

Ok, so by request, here's a more in-depth look at how we're doing this:

We don't really have a clue...

Actually, we've got a skeleton plan. We're primarily camping, there's a cozy tent for the three of us, and we're bringing lightweight cooking things. All told, with clothes, we each tend to fill two and a half panniers. The rest is food. We're planning on buying our food day to day, but there will be some stretches where we'll need to carry our food with us. We have finished a trial run to Grave's Island. It was a blast, and went really well (despite the fact the we forgot the lid to our pot so boiling water was a long-term investment). Pat and I are carrying four panniers a piece, and Willem is pulling a BOB trailer (a little one-wheeled job, great fun). We may be switching the trailer around between us to give Willem a break. I hope that's a good intro.

First up

Here's the blog, we'll be hopefully writing nightly and posting when we have access to the net. We'll all be in BC on the 2nd, and the trip will start shortly after that. I'll put up a link to the map of our "route" (it's up for review). Anyone with any suggestions (good parks, good roads, good couches, etc.) please feel free to post them or send any of us a message.
