[at-l] Hiker Hints for 02'ers

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

Good point, Kahley - you don't need all the maps all the time.  However, it's 
tough to get a maildrop at Bly Gap to drop off map one and pick up map two, 
so I'll be carrying those two at the start, which is a crushing 5.5 ounces.  
I hear my bones creaking already (VVVBG).  On second thought, I guess it 
beats guessing how to get to Fontana from Springer and whether or not go left 
or right at road to find civilization.

Hike happy -
