I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Log them, aerially, if usable at this stage. It's just going to burn if not logged. Guess it is supposed to anyway per nature's rule.
