Hi everyone,
My wife and I will be thru-hiking this year and will be leaving for Springer on Feb 17th. I thought I would throw together a little website to make it easier for my family and friends to follow us on our trek. It turns out that my work resulted in a pretty nice google map of the trail and shelters. Unlike other AT google maps out there, the resolution of the trail as well as the number of shelters displayed changes automatically as you zoom in and out. This keeps the map relatively fast while also allowing you to see the trail at the highest resolution available. I wanted to share it with all of you in case you found it valuable in planning. Let me know if you have any problems or if you have a feature request.
Also, my wife and I will be posting our journal entries on our website AND trailjournals.com in case you want to follow us.
Heres the website: www.fivemillionsteps.com
Click the "Map of AT" link on the left side and ENJOY!
oh and... don't forget to sign the guestbook
SEE YOU ALL ON THE TRAIL!
