4.0 out of 5 stars well done and money well spent, August 6, 1998

"lazyboy249" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gem Trails of Oregon (Paperback)

We haven't lived in Oregon all that long and having a guide that will shorten our search is very helpful. Gem Trails is very accurate with easy to follow maps and many colorful pictures that help to enhance the experience. We checked out areas that are close to our residence and we were not disspointed. We are anxious to explore further.
