Right, not too hard, but confluencing isn't exactly in the public consciousness. Even people who are mildly interested in participating in the project might not be so interested in driving a fair distance to get there. Others make the drive then still don't actually make it to the confluence because of various mishaps like getting there too late or it being a bit more challenging terrain than they expected. The fellow who did N38 W81 got there close to sunset and the confluence is down a steep, heavily foliaged hill to the New River valley. He perhaps showed a tad more wisdom in opting not to pursue it than I did when I plunged into the Malaysian jungle just before sunset, only to finally struggle my way back out well after it had gotten dark. >> Seriously, Could the link(s) to the location please be posted again.
