Hello Brian,
interesting theory - but: I certainly belong to both
categories of yours, and I know several other people
who are mad about borders having both feet planted
in both categories...

I asked because I think there are two main camps among "boundary
people" and it shows in the type of boundary points they are
interested in.

The first and possibly largest group, judging by our e-mail
discussions, is interested in the geopolitical aspects of
boundaries. This group likes to visit places where boundaries bisect
towns, etc.

The other group, to which I belong, is primarily interested in
boundary "points" (quad-points, tri-points, and other prominent
boundary corners) as arbitrary travel destinations. I like being
able to see the weather map on TV and see the boundary junctions and
know I have been at those locations. I like the logistics of getting
to these points and, best of all, they rarely have any conventional
travel value - sort of the antithesis of Disney World.

So you might consider two styles - a geopolical one and an offbeat
adventure/travel one.
