Hey everyone, I trust you all had a great Christmas & a Happy, but Safe, New Year’s celebration! If you weren’t able to get outside for some hiking or camping in 2009, I hope you will in 2010. I have some hikes already planned myself and, hopefully, can drag some people out with me to enjoy the outdoors. Yesterday, I was able to get out with a couple friends for some snowshoeing. Anything to get out & enjoy some scenery & fresh air!
A few weeks back, I received in the mail a copy of the 2010 edition of The A.T. Guide. For those of you who don’t know, David Miller ended his publication of the Appalachian Pages after 2009. From hereon, his new publication, The A.T. Guide, can be found at http://www.theatguide.com/. The forum, Appalachian Pages, is still up & running, and a really good source of info & guidance for hiking the A.T. It’s a good forum & a bit more friendly, in my opinion, than some hiking forums.
There’s an older entry detailing my supportive review of the 2009 Appalachian Pages. David has incorporated some excellent features in The A.T. Guide, including more maps & a better layout in a easier to use landscape design. I like the zip-loc bag included with the book, as it helps protect the book when stored in a pack. I give The A.T. Guide two thumbs-up, and look forward to using it in the coming weeks & months ahead. Check out the website and grab yourself a copy!
