For several years now I’ve toyed with the idea of a universal welcome flag to be hung out by those willing to share their campsite. I mostly trip solo and there are times when I’d be happy for the company, but other canoeists see my boat and keep going. Other times I simply feel guilty as a solo traveler taking up a site that could hand three to four tents. I’m thinking maybe a bright blue or yellow flag to signal I’m willing to share. I suppose there would need to be a flag indicating the site if occupied/full, too.

I doubt this would ever be adopted but thought I’d throw it out there.

While I think your idea has merit, when I see folks paddling by and I know there is room (and I'm willing to share), I just stand on the shoreline and strike up a conversation with them. This way they know they're welcome if they need/want to stop. Otherwise, it's a quick conversation and they're on their way.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
