Any organized trips?

Or dis-organized ones?



I'm wondering if there are any organizations that put groups together for Adirondack trips of a reasonably adventurous kind. The NY chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, for instance, or the Adirondack Mountain Club? I'm thinking of a pond-hopping journey, but looking at my own mental makeup, I'm not sure that I'd have the determination to push myself onward for several days. Whereas in a group with a designated plan and leadership, everyone basically promises in advance that they're willing to keep working to get to the end of the journey. I've done some trips like that in the past, and it worked well--everyone knows that they have to cooperate to make the trip successful.



What people write about here is solo trips (by someone who has the willpower to keep pushing!) or things they've done with family or friends who already know each other. I don't recall ever seeing a report of a group of strangers doing these paddling adventures. If someone were planning this kind of thing, I'd be interested.
