Hi prospective thru hikers,

Just want to create this in order to talk about 2005 edition maps, companion book and data book.

I read the old threads in the whiteblaze.net for the 2003 edition that was come out late in February. We cannot afford to hike without those valuable information. So, hope the books will be out before the end of 2004. Probably we can just be the one that keep them in mind that we would want those editions out earlier. I will be leaving Connecticut late January to go to New Orleans and then relaxing for a few weeks before our start on March 1st.
