I wish that blogpost had popped up a couple weeks ago, when we started Minn. She has great supplementary maps to help you label the BF maps.
I don’t want to say mean things about Beautiful Feet’s Holling maps – but! I was going crazy and spending so much time trying to find what Holling has in his sidebars on the BF maps!! I had such trouble finding even Lake Itasca because the shapes on the map don’t seem to match with the “fish-hook” and other things described by Holling.
I will say that I am decidely map-challenged — but I was having so much trouble is wasn’t funny. (I was able to successfully do the map to go along with the Tree in the Trail, so I don’t think it’s all my problem! *L*)
WHat a blessing! We just cracked this book open and are at the 3rd lesson. I too had fits trying to find Lake Itasca (ok, maybe just I had the fit – you were probbly much more dignified! 😉 ) Thank you for sharing this wonderful resource.
I’m glad I’m not the only one having trouble with the BF map! IT’s a great addition to the study (we’re doing it low-key). But I am very disappointed that it’s so different than what’s in the Minn book.
Minn has been a toughy all the way around for us. We loved Tree In A Trail and Paddle To The Sea… We are aiming to persevere (doing one BF lesson per week) and look forward to starting Sea Bird.
