BlueEyesMI Posted May 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2013 We're planning to rent a car and do the self-tour from Murray's guide to Emerald Lake. I noticed Murray's suggested an audio download from "Trapper Dan". http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V7KBT2?ie=UTF8&tag=yukonalaskacom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000V7KBT2 Has anyone heard this before, is it worth the $9 to listen to in the car? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narsibvl Posted May 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I had the exact same question....no replies yet. I have the printed version already...wanted to check if it is worth it to buy the ipod version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Look at it this way - if your trip is costing you $4000 total (you can adjust the figures) and the guide costs $9, that is only 0.23% of the trip cost or merely round off error. How many times in your life have you wasted $9 and what if it is really good and you miss stuff. Buy it. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a completely different product, with general history, music and geocaching information. I think it's a fun addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1zoe2 Posted May 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I agree with HuskyGuy. I purchased it thru amazon & downloaded to the cloud. You can also purchase thru iTunes and have available on your iPhone or iPad. I am planning to use on our upcoming cruise tour. I've listened thru it and the music portion is "campy" but fun. There are a couple of instrumentals that are nice. The tour guide portion is not anything like the Murray's Guide. It is a audio of history of the area and tells you when to pause and where to play again. It also includes "geo-cache sites" and hints if you participate in geo-caching... I had to look that one up on Wikipedia to find out what it was. Sounded like it might actually be fun! I definitely think the audio portion is worth the $9 investment Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueEyesMI Posted May 6, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I agree, that's how I've ended up with new hiking boots, a suitcase, and more:p But thanks for all the helpful advice - I did download it and started listening a bit, and I"m glad I did!
