    :banana 2013 awol AT guide arrived today

    was so happy this afternoon when I gothome from work and found two copies of the 2013 AWOL A.T. Guide inour mailbox.One guide book for us and one for my wife to use at home. The guide looks great and has a lot of new info comparedto my 2011 copy.


    My 13 year of daughter (Sassafras) andI will be starting our NOBO thru hike March 21st, thearrival of the guide make is feel that much closer.


    I do not know who is more exited.


    Hope to see many of you on the trailthis year. Kaboose

    Yep . I got mine also. Now to transfer all the notes. 1 note you might want is about the 180 Diner, page 11. I emailed them and they told me they didn't know if they would be open in the same place. Apparently having a problem with their lease.
    I start out the Day with nothing and by the end of the Day I still have most of it.

    Last year I drove to get my copy. This year I think that I'll walk. It's less than two miles

    I got my loose leaf version yesterday as well. I'm such an idiot though, I divided all the pages evenly into 10 different piles and stapled each pile together not knowing there are already a set of designated stations that allow you to do this properly. I was honestly just so overcome with excitement that I just wanted to fiddle with the damn thing.

    Still looking for mine in Grand Rapids MI! I am guessing Monday, based on those who report having theirs now. I was a later order, imagine AWOL goes FIFO. Very interested in seeing it. My eldest used Wingfoot's in 2006, and unfortunately it was hopelessly out of date. Based on David's book, I bet his is very well researched.

    It is fantastic on so many levels!

    However, from the moment anything hits print, there can be changes. Thankfully, hikers are great about notifying him when they see changes, and he posts updates frequently.

    I used a 2011 copy last year and was thinking about using it again, its full of notes and my various dates. I skipped around A LOT last summer on my way to Harpers Ferry. Between white, blue, yellow and Aqua Blazing, I decided to go back to New Found Gap and Rehike, that being said, I am looking forward to the new 2013 guide.

    What new info can anyone point to though that makes it a must have?

    OK, got my loose-leaf version today. What are these "designated stations"?

    Got mine today to, reading it leaf to leaf to get certain points jotted down to give myself a heads up. Yellow post-it notes on pages that stick out as well.

    Got mine last week. Was so exited, that I planned out my month long hike for this summer.
