Also - how did you frame it? Mine is laminated, and there is a backing I could attach behind it, but I had grommets put in with lamination and it's hanging on the wall using those. "
I put clear vinyl over it, used 1/4" plywood behind it and 1/4" x 3" cedar for the frame and clear coated the frame, used a finish nail gun and stapler to put it together, yes I'm going to mark all my different routes when I find the rite markers.

Got my new map framed and put on my wall, just need to add a few more pictures around it, will make route planning easier instead of connecting maps together.

housty9,
The maps a little fuzzy, but I don't think I see a route line drawn from Crane Lake to Lake Superior....

Is this a map you made or one purchased?

I have access to a large printer and have been thinking of making some maps. Since we will probably leave from Ely (2019) I might make one of just routes that traditionally leave from that area.
