Don't know if this is the appropriate spot for this, but its a land use organization, so this is where I stuck it. Feel free to move it if you think it should be in chit chat.

I've been a member of Tread Lightly! for over a year. Before I went on a trip up to Tellico last August, I decided I'd buy a good topographical map of the area trails. I bought one through treadlightly's online store, along with a couple of decals and a "responsible wheeling" handbook (thought it would be a good educational tool for the new members of the club I was wheeling with).

Ordered the stuff on July 29th. I got my decals and the guide in something like 3 weeks, still haven't received the map. I've sent several emails to their contact person (nicole) with the online store. I got one response and never heard anything since. The response was basically
the map comes from the manufacturer, but we'll see what we can do.

I don't think I'll be renewing my membership this year. Good organization, I respect what they stand for, but I expect to receive something I pay for.

*rant off*

Or through NAGCA's "Grand Store" because I hear they have a great reputation.
