[pct-l] digital wilderness press guides

[TANYA SAVAGE]

Hi David
That sounds a great idea. Don;t suppose your pdf's would be available to download from anywhere would they? I have the WP guides but haven;t put them under the knife yet, could take some hours to scan using our little scanner at home!

The WP guides aren't available in digital form, but I sliced the spine 
off mine, scanned them into PDF on a big autofeed machine, ran the PDF 
through optical character recognition, and downloaded the result into my 
iphone where I use Acrobat Reader.  This gives me all three books in 
searchable digital form, albeit with a bunch of zooming in and out.

It was a bit of a hassle, but saves the weight.  I did the same with 
Yogi's guide and I downloaded the Halfmile maps so I'll have the whole 
trail in my phone at all times.  I'll still carry the maps for the 
current section because the hard copy is more convenient to read.

Happy hiking,
