http://www.sacbee.com/2011/01/30/336272 ... esert.html One can acquire Delorme's CALIFORNIA ATLAS AND GAZETTEER and NEVADA ATLAS AND GAZETEER from Amazon.com as of 3 FEB for $30.04 for the pair, including the Free Shipping. I'm certain that the Peanut Gallery will, in short order, cough up a few anecdotes RE: accuracy/errors. However, it's cheap insurance. On the other hand, not everyone can READ a map, begetting the question: "If you can't read a map, what are you doing off-pavement in one of the most human-hostile places in North America with an SUV?" The Desert is waiting to kill you. Nothing personal, it's just what the Desert does. Fortune, however, favors the Prepared. |
