Greetings all! I'm looking to see if anyone has a link or copy of a Excel spreadsheet with AT shelters/mileage/ hostels, etc- pretty much a digital version of the map info. I'm looking for something to 1) satisfy my inner geek, and 2) I do a lot of my planning on the computer, so having to cross-reference between books & maps is kind of a pain.
I did find one from a few years ago on this forum (http://www.infonavigate.com/travel-info/appalachian-trail/Appalachian_Trail_Planner.xls) but being 4 years old, I'm not sure how much faith I should put into it.

I did something like this -- nowhere near as comprehensive -- for miles 655 to 1243 (from Springer.) It was printed on a single sheet and I carried it with me on that section. I carry maps, but no data books. Basically just to help figure out resupply points.

Greetings all! I'm looking to see if anyone has a link or copy of a Excel spreadsheet with AT shelters/mileage/ hostels, etc- pretty much a digital version of the map info. I'm looking for something to 1) satisfy my inner geek, and 2) I do a lot of my planning on the computer, so having to cross-reference between books & maps is kind of a pain.
I did find one from a few years ago on this forum (http://www.infonavigate.com/travel-info/appalachian-trail/Appalachian_Trail_Planner.xls) but being 4 years old, I'm not sure how much faith I should put into it.
I took the same one and reformatted it to suit me (can't leave well enough alone) and added some info out to the right from here at WB. The person who really updates this earns everybody's thanks.
I think it's attached.

I spent some time at your location in the 70s. JumpMaster nonBlaster.

The information contained in the spreadsheet (Companion) is updated yearly.

Ha ha and you're from Pittsburgh (or at least living there) to boot! Good old Fayettenam- I'm holding it down here for you. I was born & raised about an hour SW of the Burgh in WV.
As for the spreadsheet, I have started modifying it to my needs, but seeing how I haven't set foot on the AT yet, I feel weird about trying to update it. I'll probably take notes on the particular area I'm going to hit this year (anywhere between Fontana Dam & Daleville, VA).
