I've been wondering, for a few years now, if and when I'm going 
to get into serious sh*t for using my 1990 trail maps.

Even back then I think it was $125 for the set (maps + books) -- 
I think the price is twice that now.  Being a cheap bastard, I 
haven't bothered to upgrade.

Oddly enough, the AT is one of those trails you don't even need 
a map for.  Just follow the %$*@^# blazes.

I understand that the shelter locations marked on my maps 
are becoming unreliable. I always hike with a tent, so it's not 
that big a worry.
