charts and charts and chartssss

i had a ground lesson with my instructor the other day to review/prepare for the faa exam. one of the items we covered were charts and he threw a couple of good ones at me. i'm used to using the sectionals from around my area and am pretty confident with them. however, he pulled out the denver chart (way west of me) and it had some aspects/complexity that i hadn't seen before that had to do with elevations and airspaces. i can see that it's probably worthwhile to get a denver sectional just to look at because different areas of the country are likely to have different "things" on the chart that i might not be familiar with.
as usual, aviation is a never ending learning experience.
