You said a jetboat is "recommended" for IANESD. Sorry for extending
your meaning to "necessary." However, I wouldn't even recommend a
jetboat because it is easy enough to visit this wet-point by kayak or
canoe. I think we visited during average water conditions. In fact
it had been raining across the Dakotas for several days before the
visit. The current was quite manageable and the water was flat. I
don't think a canoe would be any problem at all, either on the Big
Sioux or the Missouri in the vicinity of IANESD.
Regarding SDS, of course I visited "dry" SDS because, as you noted, I
only count dry NEWS points. In fact, that is how I define them (i.e.
northernmost, easternmost, westernmost, and southernmost points of
land) and I would call visiting all four thus-defined extreme points a
complete NEWS tour. I suggest we combine my definition with your
likely reaction and call these YELPS (Yikes, extreme land points).
