I Pray Not For An Easy Life, But That I Become A Strong Person.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph Thomas Paine

I'm of a different viewpoint. I tried this once. I had some nice maps taken from the National Parks Service printed up and laminated. While they looked all cool and very pro, I found that it took away from my story and turned it more into a lecture. I also found myself sweating the details more than you should when telling the story. To me, the Three Strikes are supposed to have that campfire feel. The maps don't really contribute to that, IMV.

At any rate, I think there is still value in having maps like these. You can use them after you tell the Three Strikes, say on Sunday or at the end of the day to engage the shooters more on the story or to illustrate specific points with more emphasis.
