doug and Rick: I have been following this list diligently, and now i am going to throw in my two cents (canadian cents). I have to side with Rick here. The past few years i have done some paddling on lake superior near wawa. the coastline here is extremely hostile. on two separate trips, we were beached for a couple of days due to sea and weather conditions. the cliffs and shoreline are so rugged that potential campsite/takeouts have to be considered carefully, or you just might not make it. we had to make a run for a takeout with a brewing storm, and it was either make it, or be dashed on the cliffs. In these cases, the coordinates of campsites and takeouts would aid in knowing how far the next potential take out would be. with the general locations only, there is still the opportunity for exploring and discovery, but it would aid in planning and safety. was that two cents or a loonie?
