I see our newest member is HarryMajors. Could he be the author of Monte Cristo Area guidebook fame? If so, is it true you are working on an update to it? In any case, whether you are THAT Harry Majors or not, welcome!

The Monte Cristo Area book is excellent. I just got notice that Abebooks.com has a copy for the low, low price of only $75!

Yup, it's a classic. I just got that same ABE books notification as well  I originally did the search a couple years ago! Because of the high prices booksellers wanted for that book I ended up copying a library copy- yeah, highly against copyright laws but what the hey . Gotta tell ABE I'm not interested anymore.

I walked into a used book store a few months back just snooping. When I went to pay I noticed a copy on the shelf behind the counter. I asked if it was reserved with an answer of no. Took a look and strained the budget for the same low, low price. Excellent condition. It had just came in.

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

It does seem to be rather rare, so it sure is a seller's market for that one. I couldn't believe my luck a few years ago during X-MAS when I found a new copy of Discovering Wash. Historic Mines Vol 1 selling for $5 in a discount bin at REI.

We used the book to find the old route along Mallardy/Blackjack Ridges a couple weeks ago. The book is full of interesting tidbits of obscure locations. It describes the Silver Cr trip very well (as does Discovering Washingtons Historic Mines) along with numerous other places. But we've found a few they don't know about -- like an old route up Iron Mt, a trail up Helena Peak, a trail that nearly goes to Devils Lake (goes to a mine near a waterfall), possibly the ancient route to Ida Pass, and a few secret places too good to share. It also has info on numerous minor peaks, some of which are dandy places to visit. I also copied one from the library, but have since found a copy.
Anybody else have the Big Four Ice Caves trail booklet?
