Thanks db.  Planning & actuallity are often different.  How each day progresses and personal mood make the decisions.

I like slow starts, sometimes called a Voyageur start.  If something has been left at the car it's not a killer to head back with minimal gear & get it.  Also after 2-3 days in the car, driving from Toronto, I can't guarantee I won't lilly-dip the first day.

Gonna have to map it out, but looks like what I basically want.  Thanks!
