Re: New USDA Zone Map; thanks

thanks, kitty. i sent my horse straight to file, and it still took awhile. but then it always does with pdf files. what takes even longer is figuring out how to get the stuff out of pdf and into something that can be re-formatted for normal human use.

Jim,
You can start at:
http://www.ahs.org/
and scroll down to:
"Sneak a Peek at...."
Clicking that takes you to:
http://www.ahs.org/publications/usda_hardiness_zone_map.htm
Where you click on:
Link to view map.
Then it's a pdf file that opens in a new window:
http://www.ahs.org/pdfs/USDA_Map_3.03.pdf
which takes a long time to open.

I printed the steps just in case going directly to the file doesn't work.
