"I'm looking for map resources for the trail."

A terrific free resource for the southernmost sections:

http://www.hikermaps.com/

I found this link at Glen Van Peski's site. Lots of interesting stuff 
there. The maps look well annotated. I have not field tested one.

I have the Tom Harrison JMT maps. I assume you do too. I think I will 
print copies double sided to cut down on the traveling paperwight.

About the morethanamile.com source that Jerry posted: the site says 
these work on Macintosh computers. Looks very interesting. Does anyone 
have experience with these on a Mac?

About other  computer sources. I have used MapTech and TopoUSA. Both 
are PC only. TopoUSAr is useless for me. MapTech is good for study of 
local trips - where you work on a single topo in great detail. I cannot 
imagine building an annotated map out of either, which is sort of what 
hikermaps did. Looks like the same thing was done by the morethanamile 
guy. This would be an enormous amount of work with MapTech.

Way off topic - I have some more pack musings  - email me if you are 
still interested.
