I. Like. Big. Maps, and I cannot lie

The Forest Service publishes Motor Vehicle Use maps showing where you can drive and, as a bonus, where dispersed camping is allowed.

I'm a map nerd. I love studying them and then comparing them with the real world. So I'm excited to have the actual paper map. WOOT!

And this is just one side!

You can get them online, but sometimes you don't have a connection when you need it. Or your battery is dead. Paper never lets you down. As long as you keep it dry. And in an emergency, you can burn it for heat. Try that with your smart phone or laptop.
