[pct-l] Fw: Re: Swept downstream in Sierra

Many topo maps now a days are made of a water proof paper. Even if they are not made of this, most paper maps will dry out and will still be readable where as something electronic is pretty much history it it gets a good soaking.  One should always have a paper map as  backup.
