Well it's the final day of March and there just hasn't been time to do much on this web page.

Preparations for the hike are pretty much complete.  A major shopping spree to take place around the 7th of April.  The hike itenerary is completed as much as possible. Volume two of the trail guide is no longer in print.  The update will not be available until the sometime in May, (Which means it will be at least late June before we actually see it in the stores.)

The maps are all printed and ready to go. TopoUSA is a fairly good program with a couple of fairly irritating characteristics, foremost is the programs inability to print more than one page at a time.
