Having paddled the Park for ~10 years before we figured out there were printed maps w/ red dots on 'em, (DOH! Woohoo!) it's always seemed to me that the McKenzie/Beymer... dots hit the highlights you couldn't miss with a baseball bat and that was fine at the time. After a year or two, we'd often try to get as far away from them as possible. Back when we'd do spring recon trips, they always seemed like cheating somehow and that hasn't changed much for me at least. It's good to know you have a fallback when needed. Some are just too good to pass up when available. Everyone can appreciate a nice landing and room to stretch out. Mud and worse things were normally avoided. Easy works.

I have to take inventory every year. I absolutely hate it because I get to pay pay tax on every dumb idea I can count. Besides, Q's been Q for a hundred+ years. I guess it's about time they knew what they had in stock eh?

Would "cutting" a site perhaps be something you would do with a can in your hand? I don't believe that's what anyone is concerned with but if anyone is I could see that being better handled with a request than a rule and it probably would have the same effect (it would on me at least). Hmmm, suddenly, caching a pack at multiple red dots doesn't seem so bad after all.

Personally, the maps currently available are already overkill to a large degree. Progress is not what the Q that I have grown to know & love needs. Dumbing it down to something the lowest common denominator can fuctor in won't make her any more appealing to me or anyone else IMO.
