 Unpleasant experience March 21, 2007
There is very serious mistake in the edition I consulted. The Hanson Hills recreation area map has a NORTH arrow pointing to the SOUTH (page 165). I only figured this out after getting lost in the trail system (end of season and the trails were no longer groomed). I decided to head south "towards" the trail head or the access road only to find out that I was actually heading away from the parking lot and into the wilderness.
My luck was that I trusted my instincts over the map and it was not snowing hard so my tracks were still visible. I got to my car after 4 hours in dark conditions, not a single soul in the park.
I actually like the book and had used before but I find this "small" mistake very disturbing. This is not the kind of mistake that falls in the category of subjectivity, as in rating some trails advanced or easy.
I understand the disclaimer in the book "...know your limitations" but this is such a basic and vital piece of information that, in my opinion, the book should be recalled before someone gets seriously injured or worse.
Hopefully the author and editors will revise this for future editions and be more diligent in checking the information provided.

It's a great book, good descriptions, easy to use and concise. It tells you everything you need to know about the trails of northern Michigan.
