Today I received our map set and hut key (they actually sent me 2 keys). The maps are in color, printed on 11" x 17" paper, and broken down by the riding day (e.g., Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.). Each day is printed on a single sheet of paper (copy of Day 1 map below). The longer ride days, which is every day with exception of Day 1, are printed double sided. While the maps are very detailed, only a few of the maps show the alternate routes. So we'll have to rely on GPS and/or cue sheets if/when we elect to ride alternate routes. I'll go ahead and have copies of the maps made for each of you.
On another note, I wanted to let you know of a couple of items that I'll be bringing for the group. First is a Katadyne "Hiker" water filter. It'll quickly and easily filter water for potable consumption. Second is a portable 11,000 mah capacity battery charger. I'll be carrying this in addition to my two (2) 2800 mah capacity battery chargers. This "back-up" can be used if you've exhausted your battery chargers. So if you need juice to keep your boom box going I've got it.
Finally, for those tubeless folks I have a few 2 oz containers of Stan's. Picked them up at Sea Otter. If you want one for "just in case" let me know. I'll bring it but you got to carry it.
