Free! downloadable sections of the Rothrock State Forest Trail Map!

We believe the Lizard map is well worth your hard earned 12 bucks. C'mon, it may even change your life for the better. But what if you're not so sure? Maybe you're only in town for a day or two and would rather spend your money on a microbrew at Elk Creek Cafe+ Aleworks and coffee at Webster's Cafe. Or you blew all your money on a new iphone. We can relate. So cheer up! Double click on the maps and a high res, full size jpg will appear which you are welcome to keep. (Right click should let you save it).

Now you have a little snippet of nirvana. Print it out or upload it to your iphone like a picture. Follow the purple lines and who knows what wonder you will find? Maybe you'll hate it, the woods are full of bugs and dirt and sharp pointy things. In which case you can be pretty sure you would have wasted your money buying the map, and we don't want to cause you buyers remorse.

When you start exploring all those little lines you may develop a serious craving for the whole map. Or not. It's your life, do what you want. One way to get by without a map of your own is to get your friends to buy the map, and just follow them. This concept works ok with maps but gets annoying with food.

Health warning: continued use of these maps may result in an inability to stay indoors and a sudden criticism of traffic. Your skin may become covered with dust and dirt. Mild confusion will make it difficult to relate time and distance, which may alter your definition of weather. There is a potential for alll of these side effects to occur simultaneously and without warning. That's why we are warning you now.
