I actually joined in September but then I had to go overseas for work for a bit so this is my actual first post. I think this is a wonderful site and I am a bit disheartened over finding this site just recently. The work you all do is amazing and I stand in awe. What programs do you all use to make your maps? I do not have one so I am wondering what programs you use so I can acquire one. Thanks in advance and I look forward to being someone's map apprentice.
