Chuck Dodd's Guide to
Traveling the Applegate-Lassen Trail
Chuck Dodd has been leading tours along the Applegate-Lassen Trail, across the Black Rock Desert and through the High Rock Canyon in northwestern Nevada, and on to Goose Lake in northeastern California, since 1995. And he has been getting better at it every time he did it.
For information about Chuck’s “Emigrant Experience” tours on the Applegate-Lassen Trail, Click Here.
Now, Chuck describes how you can do the tour for yourself, in a conveniently sized booklet with the following:
- Easy-to-follow instructions.
- Tour maps showing the location of the trail as well as the tour route.
- Detail maps of tricky intersections and important trail sites and segments.
- Photos and aerial photos
- Quotations and sketches from diaries and journals written by the emigrants.
And, on a CD included with the guide:
- Color tour maps you can print for your use.
- Color photos of the black-and-white photos in the printed guide.
- Waypoints and tracks of the tour you can transfer to your GPS.
To facilitate its use, the guide is wire bound so you can open it flat.
