[pct-l] Halfmile maps, 2014 vs 2015

[Brian Watt]

Nathan,
I hiked this past year and met Halfmile several times. He was rehiking 
the entire trail himself and doing it with much improved GPS equipment. 
As a result I would assume the 2015 set will be improved over the 2014 
set. However, as PaintYourWagon has said, the trail is the trail and it 
ain't going anywhere.

Please read about all Halfmile's updates on his website at 
http://www.pctmap.net/2015/02/about-the-2015-halfmile-updates/ along 
with his recommendations. In addition Jackie "Yogi" McDonnell on her 
website offers a partial set printed based upon what is currently 
available. See: 
http://www.yogisbooks.com/pacific-crest-trail/halfmile-map-set-printing-services-1. 


So it's up to you. Since I started in mid-April last year and it's only 
mid-February, I would wait about a month, but that's dependent on your 
start date and as a result your-mileage-may-vary.

Sincerely,
Tartan PCT 2014
