Sorry for the misspell on Labrea. I only lived around there for 50 years

What are the chances of getting the route/point to point distances posted again? My Mapsource is still down, but I'm working on it.

chu, thanks.

anyone who has a color plotter 11 x 17 this will make a very good handy map.

the ranger stations also have good backcountry maps. when you stop to pay the park fee, grab a copy. you could also use the vending machine to pay.

since i like going to the national parks, i got myself an annual fee for $80. passenger gets in free, or in some places another motorcyclist.

to encourage everyone to pay the park fee, we will have a special raffle and if your name is called, you have to show your park fee stub or annual pass.

Hello Joel.

Thanks again for getting Zach and I in. Looking forward to the ride.
What are the chances of a guest from Idaho in small Toyota truck with xt225 joining us?
Can even share my tent if need be. No, not that there is anything wrong with it.
If wanted to stay Wed night would that be through you or PSR?

Sorry for the questions as I know you're busy,

Heirhead

Tom Harrison maps is pretty much universally accepted as a great resource for outdoor maps. Very detailed, printed on tyvek so they're waterproof, and not too expensive: http://www.tomharrisonmaps.com
Go to the order page and scroll down for 'Death Valley'.

At least you can discern the names of the variouls attractions and points of interest.
