Topo map program

Since trails.com bought out mytopo.com or something, we have been left with little resources for topo maps. I just found this one and love it! Its the ACME mapper, a compilation of many maps online, including google maps. http://mapper.acme.com/

Tehipite Valley

It seems like such a beautiful place with great trout fishing as reported here ( http://www.highcountryflyfisher.com/pages/chronJMW6.htm ), however, several things worry me. From http://209.221.195.13/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=44940&page=98&fpart=2 The owner went on to talk us out of going down into Tehipite.

Sweet Chevy Truck

Check out Adams sick lifted chevy silverado. It is a 4x4 lifted by full throttle suspension, weld rims. It has a nice lift with chrome and everything. This chevrolet truck with the lift is sick. It was filmed at the pismo dunes, or oceano dunes. Its fun to offroad out there with mx, quads, trucks, atvs, etc.
