Just a heads up, I found waterproof rite-in-the-rain copier paper for
$22 per 200 sheets at www.fox-intl.com/searchresult.asp?id=1557 ,
which is a pretty good price.
I think you'll need 2 reams for all of halfmile's maps, but one ream
should be enough for most of them, including all the wet sections.
These only work in a laser printer or copier(there is another kind
that works with inkjets, but its about triple the price). I plan on
having Kinkos print these, I think they said it was about 17 cents a
sheet if I'm supplying the paper, which is about $40. That's assuming
they're not counting both sides, which they might, but they guy on the
phone said that was the price per sheet. I'll let you know the actual
cost once I have it printed.

By the way, I know that waterproof paper isn't essential, but
considering how important the maps are, I think its worth the extra
cost. I'll still use zip-lock bags, but shit happens...
