Hey Guys,
I've completely re-done my maps for the pinhoti trail. Here's a link to the new set: http://parkaymaps.110mb.com/PinhotiM...MapsIndex.html. The new maps can be downloaded individually, or all together with a zip file.
I created the new set mostly because I wanted to use public domain USGS topo quads as the base map. As opposed to NG TOPO maps, which are not public domain.
The maps appear mostly colorless because they are missing the color "green". The green color doesn't add very much information to USFS maps so it is apparently being phased out on newer topo quads. Most of the Quads that I'm using are older, in this case I have filtered out green with photoshop. Anyhow, I figure this probably saves about $15 in ink, if somone is printing the whole set.
Here's a summary of changes:
Alabama Pinhoti:
The information on the placemarks for the Alamama pinhoti is the same as before... except that I've added 34.3 miles to the distances on all of the labels from Map 6 onwards. This is to account for the extra distance added by the road walk from Flagg Mtm to Bull Gap.
Georgia Pinhoti:
The information on maps 1-16 is exactly the same as before. However, on maps 16-19 I have changed the route of the road walk. I think this new route is the "official route". It is a little longer than the old route that I had on the maps, so I've adjusted the mileage on the lables from rest of the trail to account for the change in mileage. Also, I've corrected some labels on the last few pages thanks to suggestions from Two Speed.
That's it for Pinhoti stuff... Let me know if anyone notices mistakes. Or has suggestions.
