[pct-l] PCT Atlas Volume 1 Available Now

[Bill Batchelor]

Erik,
 
I used a section of your new PCT Atlas on my our roughly 50 mile test hike
from highway 10 to the top of Onyx Summit.   The PCT Atlas is BRILLIANT.  In
a hikers world, they are a work of art (though I am not sure a city dweller
could quite appreciate their beauty).   I showed my copy to my hiking
partner, another seasoned PCT hiker.  He was stunned.  At every rest stop he
would ask if he could look at the PCT Atlas again.   His comments were,
"This is exactly the information a long distance hiker needs, no fluff, easy
to get the quick answers you want."   When he got to the page showing the
town information he simply said, "Oh, you have got to be kidding me, where
do I get a copy".  I smiled that smile of recognition having had the same
thoughts when I first had a glimpse.
 
I know you must know it, but after all the work perhaps on occasion you may
wonder - I am telling you, you have hit it out of the park.
 
Relating to the note below, if I preordered am I reading your note correct
that I should log in and reorder?  Just want to make sure I do not double
up.
 
Best to you,
 
Bill B - P.Gumby

It's here! The Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Volume 1 is now available for
purchase. If you have pre-ordered or would like to place a new order please
log on to www.pctatlas.com and place your order through our online store. If
you have signed up to receive a free book they will be shipping out later
this week by Priority Mail. You should receive them sometime next week.
 
 
Other Updates: 

*	Added "Updates" section to the website. This is where temporary and
new trail information that is not yet in the book will be posted. 

*	Updated Free Sample Chapter. The free chapter has been updated to
reflect the final look and layout of the book. 

*	Kickoff. I will be at the Kickoff but not as a vendor, just a
regular hiker. I will bring some books in case anyone wants to check them
out or buy a copy, but I won't be advertising so you'll have to find me.
I'll be the guy with the black beard, black shirt and black Jeep :P I am
thinking about hiking the first 78 miles from the border to Scissors
Crossing so I may get to meet some of you thru-hikers out there on the trail
too. 

*	Washington. Volume 5 will be done next. If you are thru-hiking this
year and would like to get the Washington book when it comes out please
check back on the website around June. It may be ready by then and if not I
will have information posted on when to expect it. Right now I am aiming for
July 1st at the latest. When it gets around that time send me an email or
call me (number below) and we'll arrange to have it sent to one of your
re-supply stops. 

*	Big Bear. I live in Big Bear only a few miles from the trail in
Sections D & E so if you're thru-hiking and you need a ride to or from the
trailhead at Highway 38, 18, Van Dusen or Cougar Crest (and have access to a
cell phone) give me a call and if I'm not busy I'll come pick you up. We
have several hiker-friendly motels and a hostel, bars, restaurants, a lake,
an outfitter, two movie theaters and friendly mountain people. Everything a
weary hiker could wish for ;)
