    Backpacking through Pine Barrens upon return to U.S.?

    Teegate, your right it used to work fine but as to why they changed it i had no clue.I always like terraservers style better anyway but you couldn"t place a target symbol with terraserver. Did you create a map from multiple maps using software or are you printing them and taping them...

    Can International Scouts get stuck?

    exactly Barry,theirs enough potential places to get stuck in the barrens getting from point A to B you don"t need to be out in the middle of a bog tearing up prime wildlife habitat.You wanna play find yourself a gravel pit with a mudhole in the bottom and tear your truck up.I personally don"t...
