Prepare questions for a local route briefing

Mark possible launch and return points on a current map. List access permissions, changing conditions and the group's experience as questions to resolve with a qualified local source. Do not treat a line on a map as a navigable route.

Record where and when each answer came from. Keep an alternative plan that does not depend on launching. This notebook supports planning; it does not replace instruction, equipment checks or a current local safety assessment.
