[at-l] A.T. parking.....

To Matt---

   I dunno if anyone's compiled a collection of all the parking lots on the 
Trail on one single list.....  this information IS found in the individual 
Guidebooks published by the Appalachian Trail Conference and local Trail 
Clubs (see www.atconf.org for more info).  All of these Guidebooks have 
Trailhead, Parking, and Road Accessibility information; this info is also 
found in the series of AT Guides published by Stackpole Press (5067 Ritter 
Rd., Mechanicsburg, PA.) called "Exploring the Appalachian Trail."

   What you might want to do is figure out approximately WHERE you'll be 
hiking (North Carolina, Northern Virginia, Vermont, whatever) and then get 
your hands on the best Guidebook for that particular section; this is the 
best way to find out about the area you actually have in mind.   Also, when 
you've narrowed it down to a specific location, you can run it by this list 
for comments, ideas, suggestions, as some trailheads and parking lots are 
better (i.e. more secure) than other ones.
