ACA is selling their headquarters and moving to a smaller building. It looks like they're really struggling, facing headwinds from competitors, the internet, an aging population.
I still have some of their old maps. Times a changin'.

If you’re just now deciding to get out of the paper map business, I don’t know what to tell you.
Oh, man. I led the very first GDMBR tour that they offered in 2001. It was an amazing trip that I was probably not qualified to guide.
I’m amazed that they have been able to hold on this long with the rise of GPS. Their routes are still the gold standard, and plenty of people are riding them (we host WarmShowers guests who use them), but everyone just downloads .gpx now and uses their phones.
Times are changing, I guess.
