MapXchange on the National Geographic Topo! site www.topo.com has several
plots of at least the California section.

The PCTA site will provide links to worthwhile sites. As for content, it's a
matter of too little time and money as I understand it. There are a number
of other sites that also attempt to capture a lot of this data.

Carl's ADZPCTKO site also has a good collection of organized links, and he
too will add others.

Trailjournals.com does a lot of this, but many use their own sites. PCTA
will link to any PCT trail journal.

Brawny has this on her site http://www.trailquest.net/webcams.html but some
are outdated. I have a number of links and have thought about posting a list
but, well, you know...

Thanks for volunteering to do this, Mike!
