Oh no. Another thread hijack. Old Salt is going to get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to keep us all on topic.

Re Q people overwhelming BW inhabitants on QJ:

Having just got here, I'd hate for QJ to die from too much love from us northerners.

QJ is certainly the "Go-To" place for Q news and it's the first place Q park office staff recommend for on-line info. (It's a bit embarrassing that we Canucks have to depend on an American online site for this.) I'm not familiar with bwca.com, but I have to question whether a site ignoring the northern half of this wilderness might be lacking a bit of perspective?

I think most of us view crossing the border (in either direction) as little more than a nuisance. I tend to view BW/Q as a shared resource, with a few irritants added by the pointyheads in Ottawa, Toronto and Washington.

Slightly different park rules means there's more chance that a potential visitor will find what he wants somewhere.  Is the compass direction from which we enter that important?

So Spartan 2, please don't think of QJ as just a social thing, and deprive the rest of us who don't know you personally of your years of experience. Hopefully those of us who mainly visit the northern half will be able to give back enough for it to be worthwhile for one who mainly visits the southern half.
