<div id="ygrps-yiv-170213080">I asked because I think there are two main camps among &quot;boundary <br/>
people&quot; and it shows in the type of boundary points they are <br/>
interested in.<br/>
<br/>
The first and possibly largest group, judging by our e-mail <br/>
discussions, is interested in the geopolitical aspects of <br/>
boundaries.  This group likes to visit places where boundaries bisect <br/>
towns, etc.<br/>
<br/>
The other group, to which I belong, is primarily interested in <br/>
boundary &quot;points&quot; (quad-points, tri-points, and other prominent <br/>
boundary corners) as arbitrary travel destinations.  I like being <br/>
able to see the weather map on TV and see the boundary junctions and <br/>
know I have been at those locations.  I like the logistics of getting <br/>
to these points and, best of all, they rarely have any conventional <br/>
travel value - sort of the antithesis of Disney World.<br/>
<br/>
So you might consider two styles - a geopolical one and an offbeat <br/>
adventure/travel one.<br/>

much<br/>
&gt; the physical lines themselves (though, in the case of the <br/>
Korea/Korea<br/>
