i was thinking of buying these Gazetteer maps for a 5 day trip this summer, as they are supposed to indicate dirt roads, which is what i want to stick to, mostly:
Atlas & Gazetteers, by State - DeLorme
any experience with these specific ones?
If you are after every little cow path of a road, these are your ticket. I found them great for finding backpacking trail heads, for finding whitewater kayaking put ins and take outs on seldom run whitewater creeks, and things like that. They don't particularly suit my style of touring, but they may suit yours.
They show a level of detail way beyond what I want or need on tour, also they are quite big and cumbersome.
