Hi Everyone,
Since it is that time of year when 2012 NB thru-hikers are making final preparations for the trail, I thought it would be a good time to post a link to the website my wife and I created before we started our hike in 2008. The link below should take you to a full screen google map with the Appalachian trail highlighted and shelters shown. More detail and shelters are loaded as you zoom in. I hope some of you will find it helpful in planning and useful to your friends and family. If anyone finds sections which are incorrect and they have newer GPS coordinates, please send me a message and I can update the page. I apologize for having to add advertisements to the page, but it was the only way to help pay for the yearly hosting fees.
Good luck, be safe, and have fun!
