In light of this development, I think i am going to try and see if I can book to go in next week. Suspect that the flies are already stirring .......

I can't go a whole week early but looking ahead at the weather, Friday (13th) looks really crappy. Granted that may change, but if the forecast holds I'm going in Wed or Thurs (11-12th) for six nights. Perhaps a better chance of scoring Chicamoula too!
Not concerned with the bugs that early, even early ice-out years they haven't been bad until after May 24th.
Group meal ... Traditional (& awesome) pea soup is always a crowd pleaser! Hopefully supplemented with some fresh trout.

Going in tomorrow... weather reports are such a crap shoot these days, but it does look like we might get a few nice days this week

If you're going Wednesday, I'm your guy ... otherwise I'm not much use to you.
I don't have a ginormous cauldron to contribute but would be happy to seek out a smoked ham hock or two to bring in. My only concern is it still being good by Saturday ... ?Perhaps wiser that I stick to less perishable items (split peas, onions, potatoes).
Sorry, I'm not coming in until the 15th so I guess the potluck is out for me.

Who is going in Saturday?
Perhaps we can meet up at canoe lake and paddle in together.
I'm planning to get to canoe lake about 10am-11am but able to adjust to meet up with you guys.

Jordan and I are planning to start out Friday morning, heading home on Tuesday.

What's the average travel time from the put-in at Canoe Lake to McIntosh? Jeff's map seems to say around 5.5 hours.

Depending on how the winter effected your portaging fitness, I'd put it closer to 5. Not a huge amount of elevation change but 2.5 K can burn early in the season.
