March trip

[Kauri]

On the way we stopped at the Furnace visitor center to see what the natural history association store had to offer, but it was nearly bare.  The bookshelves are pretty much gone, replaced by the old 3D model map that was the centerpiece of the former visitor center museum area. 

Wait, am I reading this right? That incredible old 3D model map is still in existence?! I remember talking with Charlie Callagan about it after the visitors center remodel, and I think he said only a small piece was left but they didn't have space to store it and were contemplating disposing of it, but I admittedly could be remembering entirely incorrectly. That map was incredible. I think one of the rangers said it was made by someone who had never been to DV and made it entirely off of TOPO maps, so it's very accurate. I'd love to see it back available for viewing in the visitors center.
