Map Nirvana

I'm feeling a little sad because I should be in Chewelah right now, just finished with the 2010 edition of the Chataqua Challenge.  Instead I'm home in my pj's, still icing an achy calf and a crunchy knee.  Being injured is never fun, but I guess it's not quite as bad when injury coincides with ninety-degree temperatures; yesterday I filled up a kiddy pool, tossed in an ice pack, and created my own icy whirlpool on the front lawn. 


Since I can't be out running, I'm using my extra time to sort and catalog maps.  The Mountaineers have recently received two large map donations, and I'm the new map librarian.  There are topo maps, national forest maps, and green trails maps--hundreds of them!  It's a good thing I picked up a filing cabinet at a yard sale last week.  It's fun to look at all of the maps and get some new ideas about places to hike!
