Hi, does anyone know who prints these? or can recommend a good trail map with contoured relief.
Also water, I read online after mid summer its dry in parts, are there some good spots for replenishing or do I need my manservant to schlep in gallons for my morning SSS?
Trail suggestions are welcome too, thinking 2 days, one night
Thanks supertopians, your wisdom is great

What, are you just planning on hiking around in there, or have some objective in mind?
That place is steep, hot and dry as a bone. Not many trails to follow. It's mostly cross country hiking. Keep in mind B zone archery opens this weekend I believe. And the Yollas is a B Zone mecca. Also deer season is just around the corner. Shouldn't be any problems with that other than you may run into rifle toting company.
You can get maps from USGS. There are not many places to get water and the rivers that are there tend to be down in steep ravines.
Good luck. Awesome place, amazing hunting.

the map I have is from the US Dept. of Agriculture "A Guide to the Yolla Bolly - Middle Eel Wilderness"
U. S. Government Printing Office 1992-687-849
I also had a guide for the area but apparently I lent it out and didn't get it back...
5 cars at the trailhead on the 4th of July weekend, 2000... we didn't see anyone.

That is why I no longer lend books. If I give one I don't expect to see it back

Redneck as hell is what I've heard too, that appeals to me, my truck and my pitbull

Nice flowers Ed
Lending library protocols went into effect in my house. Names, dates, expected return date (liberally applied) were put on a card and slid into the shelf. Years later I got them back. Would have been goners otherwise.
sorry for threaddrift

we did travelers home trail on memorial day this year, 5 miles in 1500 feet up 800 down in a half mile. Brutal but lovely, tons of flowers, tons of poison oak. Hell, we had an 11 yr old beagle with us!
But yah wait tip fall or spring, it's pretty hot out there>

Jumpspot in the Middle Eel...
Good fire fighting country but probably an acquired taste for recreation!
