[pct-l] Forest Service PCT Maps Sample at Trail Fest

[JHolliday at communitycouncil.org (Jennifer Holliday)]

According to the Forest Service staff at the Trail Fest, they aren't marketing the maps to thrus.  They're targeting section hikers and day hikers.  The maps were beautiful, but I wouldn't buy them for a thru hike--too heavy, too many, too expensive and too much extra paper.

>>Personally, I would rather they spent the $ on maintenance/repair. Most thru
hikers use nothing but the guidebook maps on the trail anyway. Though the
new maps may be pleasing aesthetically, I'd rather see the FS's meager funds
spent more practically. IMHO.
