Last night I sent out the yearly message to 15 old friends and cousins about the annual guys canoe trip which dates back to 1998, with a few baby years off. This is canoeing and camping for 2 nights along the Au Sable river in Central Michigan. We’ve had as many as 10, and gone with as few as 3. So far we got 5 of us, I’d expect probably 2 more, so 7 is good although, I prefer even numbers for the canoe. What’s you annual trip? #sports #camping #canoeing #fishing

@MarioERoc That sounds nice! Wish I had an annual trip, but 3 consecutive years is about the best I’ve managed. Lives and situations change so much that it requires a lot of discipline to keep up.

@daniel For sure, we had a few baby years that changed things for a bit. The trick is. Have a planner (that’s me), stick to a weekend (first of August), cast a wide net (15 people) so people can rotate in and out without losing the feel of the trip. The downside is at some point you get too many hungover dudes at once who need to pack their shit up and get on the river. That’s why bloody Mary’s are a good motivator.
