Welcome!
I created this blog to share my adventures on America’s scenic hiking trails, provide tips and advice for ultralight backpacking, promote my hiking maps and guidebooks and connect with fellow hikers. I hope you enjoy this blog and I look forward to your comments and meeting you out on the trail.
Happy trails!

Just oredered your map set for the pct in total… looks like a simple, compact and usufull mapset.
Must have been fun putting it together…. Trying to get time off work with two other guys to hike it…(I will be 60 at that time… Yikes!)
thanks..

Hi Mike,
Thanks for ordering a PCT Atlas. It was a lot of fun (and a lot of work) to do. I’ll be back out on the trail this year working on the next (3rd) edition. Hope to see ya out there!
Loved the PCT trail maps! Have mine framed and in my “backpack” room.
If you ever decide to come east for a hike, let me know. I have a few secret stashes you might like.
Hi Pat, Glad you like the maps. The Appalachian Trail is definitely on my “to-do” list. Hopefully I will be heading out east in the next couple of years. I’ll look ya up.
Hey! Thanks for the link!! See you at KO!
Hi Erik
I alredy own your complete Atlas pack, and plan to use it in 2012. When you write about the 3rd edition, will this be a major update with new features?
If so, will there be a dicounted upgrade?
Happy hiking
Thomas
@Thomas: Yes, the 3rd Edition will be the “next generation” of PCT Atlas with new features and improvements and I do plan to offer a discount to existing PCT Atlas customers.
