I recieved one of the fisher canoe country map book as a christmas present this past year. It contains useful size maps [17" by 22"] of both the Quetico and the BWCA. It show the portages and the camp sites for each area. This is a great book to add to your referance libraries. Great for planning trips and just daydreaming about future trips. I now have trips planned out three or four years. Just thought I would share this information with everyone

How would i get one of them books and do you know a price?

I saw the books at Midwest Mountaineering in Minneapolis about two weeks ago. I think the price was right around $17 bucks. Their phone number is [612] 339-3433. You can also get them on the fisher web site. fishermaps.com $17.95 plus shipping.

Caution - I have one of these and actually did a 110+ mile Quetico trip using the only the detached pages out of the book for navigation. Not a great idea - some detail is missing on the book maps and they aren't as current as the Fisher maps the outfitters sell.

To wit - South of Kashapiwi there is a HUGE beaver bog and a new Eastside portage... neither of which showed up in the book map. Cost us 3-4 hours of trying to follow the very old and overgrown portage on the West side.

However they are great for winter day dreaming and planning.
