Josh, nothing is stopping you except your self, your boss, your wife, your other interests and who knows what else.

Guy's if you really want to do a trip YOU and only YOU can make it happen. If you make it a high priority you can do it. If not you will be 75 and wonder what happened to all your DREAMS. Someone else lived them, maybe it was Rossman and Makobob. Put it off a year, then your wife is PG and guess what? 10 years pass before you can even think about it again. At least YOU have someone you can blame. LIFE GETS in the way, ALWAYS. Tight lines.

Yea if I could afford to take the days off of work I would totally be down. I can get the days off, just can't afford to lose a weeks pay.

Makobob, I sent you a pm, but I might as well post on the thread as well. I realize I am brand new to the board, but I would love, love, love to get in on this if there is still room. Like, I might spontaneously combust if it can happen. As it is, there is nothing holding me back. I've got the time off, and both bosses (the work one and the home one) have given the green light.

Makobob, you just described me to a tee, as my wife will be undergoing IVF this Fall, and well, this will be my last shot at something this epic for a while (hopefully not 10 years though!). I realize I'm the new guy, so here's my introduction--fishing machine but I have a lot to learn regarding kayak fishing, armed with both conventional and fly, fully bilingual (y enamorado de mexico), and a team player first and foremost.

If there's still room, this trip would be a dream come true. And reading the various posts and highlights from last year, this really seems like a great group of guys. Not to sound too desparate, but I'm willing to be submit to any drug or psychological testing if necessary

GR8fuldude,

Maybe we can carpool together, if there is room at the "inn".

I am new to kayak, but not fishing.

I have all the camping gear for trip like this if needed.

I would like to split gas with someone that has a truck that can fit two kayaks. Also I can go for 7 to 10 days but would rather not miss two weekends in a row due to a lot of my work being on the weekends.

So I can go October 17-23 coming back on a Friday or

October Monday 12 and stay for 7 to 10 days or

October Monday 19 and stay for 7 to 10 days.

So basically I am open as long as I don't miss two weekends in a row.

MrPukaShell messaged me a while back and took my offer to split gas. So unless anything has changed on his end he will be riding in my truck. Hopefully he will reply here. As far as the dates buddha, my schedule is completely opposite yours. I am mon-fri. Not to say we can't be flexible on the dates, but I will be missing more work if we are there more days during the week. This is all if I dont switch jobs in the next couple months. I have an interview with the city of Hemet coming up on May 6th for a building inspector position, so vacation time will definitely be affected somehow. Even if I don't get this job, I am still actively searching to get in somewhere as a building inspector Full time in the next couple months. At least October is still really far out.
