[Ansteorra] High concern

[Stefan li Rous]

That probably works well if you are taking the North route back to  
Ansteorra. But it is a rather out-of-the-way detour for those of us  
taking the South route back to Ansteorra.  Since Picayune is an hour  
south of the site, I was assuming we were talking about folks taking  
the south route.
