[pct-l] a few confusing spots??

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (Marshall Karon)]

For me, I can't really blame maps for the confusion - it was me. Sometimes I
refused to believe the maps; others I misread the signs; others I lost which
direction I had come from; others I couldn't find any signs indicting I was
on the PCT; others there were detours, new clear cuts, etc.; others I
followed the biggest trail which wasn't the PCT.  So, what I am saying is
that the maps in the book are OK. Just watch what you are doing.
