I dont know if this is where I should post this but... Im going up to the Cache Creek-Gang Ranch area this weekend but I do not have a Topo for this area. I do not have time to order one and get it in time.

Does any one know of a place I can physically walk into in the lower mainland to purchase Topo maps? Is there a site on the net that you can download and print? Does any one have one for that area that they can scan and email to me? Any info would help. I do not like going into unfamiliar areas with nothing. I have GPS, but I can only ever trust me, a map and my compass.

Thanks

Thanks guys, I appreciate the tips. I called my Dad and asked him where he used to get his and he tells me,"why dont you just come and get the computer program I have" He has all the top maps in all scales on a two disk program. That was to easy. When I get it I will post what program it is if anyone is interested.

Thanks again

I order all my topos from www.maptown.com (http://www.maptown.com).

$10.00 per map, awesome service, very quick about processing & shipping orders.
