Scouting on the internet I reccomend google earth as long as you don't have dial up.

You should be able to pick one up at the forest service office in Entiat. Actually I think I picked mine up in Cle Elum when I was there getting other maps. I think they're about $4.

I have delorme map software and it is pretty good too. sportsmans wherehouse has a map maker kiosk in the store that builds what you want, rei has usgs maps.

I kind of think Joe's has that setup.

Post by: wrangler on August 08, 2007, 04:16:02 PM: i'll third the ranger district maps. iv yet to find a better map, and at 4-6 bucks you can't beat em. you'll prolly need to stop by the entiat station for that map, i wasn't able to get mine in cle ellum or levenworth. iv tried the national geographic maps at joes and i basically dumped it in the garbage can on my way out the door. although, unless you don't know where the potato creek turn off is i highly doubt you'll need one for your late hunt.... you'll see so many bucks you won't have time to look at a map.... :drool:
