Should make life a little easier for those planning this trail.

Mags,
Do you know that a guy named Matt Kirk just finished a 6 day (minus 44 minutes) Thru-Hike (Run) of the BMT?

Just a quick note:
Here's a slightly better link to the BMT maps. http://parkaymaps.110mb.com/BMTMaps/BMTMapsIndex.html
This is the page where I post all of the BMT maps that I've created... and where I'll post corrections/improvements over time. Anyhow, it's probably best to use the link above since it will always have the most up to date maps... although I haven't made any changes in a while, so that probably won't be an issue for a while.:)

Most of the TN/NC section of the BMT has been logged, brushed out and blazed during this past year. Except we are still not allowed to blaze in the wilderness areas, but this might change in the future. The Cherokee National Forest is considering our request to allow at least some blazing in wilderness. A new trail guide is about to be published on the TN/NC section of the BMT with each 5-10 mile section on a two page spread with a map, profile, access points, water sources and campsites (all with GPS locations) and a description of the section of the trail. The guide will be 48 pages long, printed on waterproof paper in color with lots of nice photos and will be about 4x11 inches in size, easy to fit in your pants pocket or pack side pocket behind your water bottle. When it is published it will be available on the www.bmta.org (http://www.bmta.org/) website and at most REIs and other outdoor stores.
