GL: River Charts Lk Michigan to Tenn

[John & Judy Gill]

I would only add to what Charles has said.  In addition to the word  
CHEAP. is that one gets what they pay for.

Any semblance to the word CHART is purely accidental.  The Army Corps  
of Engineers MAPS (one should not call
them Charts) do not have numbers on the buoys, and there are no  
depths shown.

If one is accustomed to real Nautical Charts, these will appear to be  
a poor excuse!  We recommend a good pair of
10 power binoculars to be able to read the occasional mile marker  
signs nailed to a tree on the shoreline to tell you where
you are -- that and computer charts and a good GPS unit.
