Harlan-We were there when the map came out and we still didn't get one?!!! Was it only for your serious campers? ;)

No, it was in the mail to us.....you should have stayed an extra few nights in Red Lake!!

Ordered mine today! Nice talking with you Harlan.

Next time we'll bring a crappier car! :)

Stupid question...
Is this -the- map, or are there more detailed sections?

its a map of the entire park, not something I would navigate from though, more a general planning tool. Once a route(s)is selected, 1:50,000 scale topo maps take over with the navigation. The park is roughly 1.2 million acres in size for there are a total of 11 topo maps that make up the complete area. Most paddlers rarely need more than 3 or 4.

thanks for getting my map out in the mail so quickly Harlan! Good chatting with you.

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy it...only 4 more months.....well maybe 5 if this weather keeps up!

Harlan,
I'm waiting anxiously for our slow postal system. Going to begin by looking at the Olive Lake area. Any idea how long it's taking?

Greg

Hey Greg,

the map or the cabin? Maps went in the mail so they should be to you any day now....

We are beginning construction at ice out and with any luck, will have it completed by first or second week of June! it should go up quick, just a matter of lining up the materials on site and some figuring.

Got my new map today. Awesome!

Got my new map today. Awesome!

Got mine yesterday! YAY! Thanks Harlan.

Looks like everyone is receiving there maps around the same time. So what does everyone think of the new map?

I like it! It is so nice to have everything updated and corrected. I had to spend a lot of time editing my GPS file of portages so the distances match the new map. I was especially pleased that they drew in the Minjim route from North Prairie to Royd(marked in gray since it is not up to specifications yet.) The path north from it through Poodle (also not finished yet) will provide some great routes in my favorite part of the park.

Do the "new" maps indicate which lakes have Walleyes? ;-) --Goose

Don't think they are on the map, but perhaps THIS would help.

Thanks, dd. Think I've seen that before -- bookmarked it for sure, this time. --Goose
