I suspect many folks who paddle wild areas are loathe to broadcast the exact 
location of their "special spots," instead leaving the discovery of those 
spots to others who also enjoy the taste of the process of discovery.

I have now and then shared the location of special campsites with friends and 
acquaintances, but would never supply a waypoint for such a spot to a widely 
circulated repository -- for all to home in on.  Likewise, I would rather not 
know, in advance, of someone else's special spot.  I'd rather discover it 
myself ... and bask in the illusion that it was an unknown treasure.  For me, 
the process of discovery is a part of the joy of wild places.
