If Grouches were backpackers

In our society today there is probably no greater sorrow than that of the life cycle of the average travel map. These beacons of direction and guidance, that present themselves freely in neatly and crisply folded pamphlets are tortuously abused.
They are mis-folded, folded into pocket size shapes, torn, drowned in coffee and rain, and this only leads to people taking wrong turns off cliffs, or winding up in the red light district while on their way to an orphanage. Sadly these are all human errors, and no matter how hard we try we just can't make better humans.

At only $20, it's definitely a fair price to pay to maintain the integrity of the pillar of society that is the tourist map.
