Great craftsmanship in the building rock work.

Must have been plentiful food in the area to keep

the people there.

Thanks

Frank

Thanks goinoregon. As far as the electronic maps, I actually use a variety. I usually mark up google maps with all the potential places to go and then save a large area where I'll be travelling for offline use. In addition to the obvious navigation and such, offline google maps have come in handy a few times this year when we had just enough service for a phone call but couldn't look anything up. We were able to search in maps and find phone numbers to gas stations for example, when looking to see who had propane. When I get closer to where I am going I usually use avenza with maps I have already saved for the area. All the benchmarks are available in avenza on a state by state basis, so that is really handy, as they have a lot of detail. I also download the national forest and national park maps if I am going to be spending any time there. Most national parks have their map in avenza for free. On this trip I found several BLM maps available for the Bears Ears areas. More recently I have started using basecamp as well. Basecamp has really accurate ownership layers and a ton of other data, and you can save for offline use as well.
