BMT Reroute files

[SGT Rock]

I've been working on these for a few days. Included are place waypoints for the new relocation, a an updated State of the Trail Report and a set of pages in the same format as The BMT Thru-Hikers Guide (c). I would include a track of the new trail but the WhiteBlaze software tells me it exceeds the file size allowed for a file of this type.

With a quick ride by on my motorcycle Sun. I missed the point where the trail leaves the Meadow Branch Rd,
but the Old Field Gap Rd. crossing was easy to see.

As to missing the meadow branch trail head, we are planning to get a sign up there later this month. When driving through the area it is easy to miss. Easier to find at the speed of two feet.

SGT Rock: These updates and maps are great. I am "planning" a thru hike (NOBO) beginning on June 5, and am plannning to use the new route. From your report it would appear that the route will be open by the time I reach it.

Yep. The plan is to have it finished in about 2 weeks.
