some typos and minor issues with accurate mileages - but it's a first issue and was rushed to meet the demands of the '08 hiking season. an invaluable tool for my thru-hike and the only source of information i used. it wasn't unusual for hikers with other, more traditional guidebooks to ask if they could look at mine.
