Quetico Wall Map

I have perused Amazon, Google etc. I am looking for a good Quetico map that I can frame and put up in my office. I used to have one I got from an outfitter while I was in high school but the map is long gone. Does anyone have any suggestions? Links?

I use the Quetico Foundation sattelite map, as well.  I had it custom framed because of the "non-standard" size of the map.  Rather expensive, but the result was spectacular!  I highly recommend it!!

I have the Quetico Foundation map, but not the sattelite one. MOst days I stop and gaze at it as I pass out the bedroom door.

My satellite map is in a frame behind my desk. Whenever I feel too stressed, I just turn around and think about where to go next.

Looks like I'm missing the boat, or canoe with my Fisher map.  Maybe I need to check out the Quetico Foundation map.   Smiley

ANY map of the Q is a good map!

I was fortunate enough to have the wall-space to put up the full-sized Fisher maps all pasted together on my basement wall.  I really wanted to use McKenzies, but the scale on them was just a bit too large to fit floor-to-ceiling.  The slightly smaller scale of the Fishers was just right.

I love my wall map and the grandiose dreams it continually spawns.  My trans-Quetico trip via the less-travelled sections of the park was directly inspired by time spent daydreaming in front of this map.  Mrs. Snow_Dog just rolls her eyes when she sees me down there "plotting and scheming" yet another trip. 

I'm quite confident I'll run out of lifetime long before before I run out of trips, and I'm hopefully a long way away from either possibility.

Ahhh, this is why I come here...because I know there are others who are just as fully infected with this sickness as I am!  Wink
