Amen, Tom!  I don't have any of the above maps, but do have a '93 vintage Quetico Foundation map.  

While I don't have a hanging wall map, my map case is never put away and pictures from trips gone by adorn my walls.  Mrs. JJcanoeguide wonders how I can review maps for hours at a time, completely oblivous to what's going on in the "real world".    I just chalk it up to an escape to a state of mind that makes me just a little more sanguine.  Plus, I think all of us would agree that in most ways, the Quetico/BW is the "real world".
