Hey John, the draft map currently has both UTM and DD MM.MMº grids. The UTM is 10 k grid with 5 k tics with a measure printed on the margins to map precise locations. We’ll probably add more grid lines and tics to help.

I would purchase this map if UTM was the primary grid. Don’t know if you could offer two models of this map (one with DGM and one with UTM) , but I don’t use DGM anymore.

Thanks

Little Bald in the Great Smokies is between Mt. Squires and Russell Field. Not between Russell and Mollies. There used to be a sign erected at Little Bald. Since the A.T. was rerouted in the ’90s, it no longer crosses Little Bald. You have it mislabeled.

The margins will be filled in with symbols, legend, and trail names/mileages. Since dogs cannot hike the Smokies’ backcountry, we’ll not have many of our doggo portraitos!

Thanks all! We thought about adding backcountry campsites. They’re some great ones too like on the Cumberland River 2 miles south of the Falls between two gorgeous beech trees, but it’s on the trail. Molloy’s book gives some good suggestions, but at the end of the day, we didn’t want to mark campsites that might conflict with forest or park management. My philosophy is that if someone is gonna tackle the Trace, they should be comfortable putting up camp anywhere…though marking the biggest and the best campsites would be nice.

We should have the north section proofed out for Christmas and definitely ready for the spring campaign!

I LOVE your South portion map and am planning a backpack on the trace using it this Spring. What’s the timeline on the North part of the Trace map coming out?

Also, I would love it if you had marked where the campsites are. I have the Johnny Molloy book that notes campsites at the mile locations and I would love to see that on a map with a tiny icon like the scenic overlook icon you chose.

Were there notes or minutes from the ST meeting? We’ve reported downed trees etc to rangers in the London district. But would like to know if there are other plans.

Would like to know what the Gov has in store for us.

Cheers
Ed
