	I, too, have this book, and if I were going to try to meet and/or
resupply hikers this is NOT what I would use.  Definitely use the AT
guidebooks (which give directions to beginnings/end of sections), and/or
the Thruhiker's Companion.  The DeLorme map books would be excellent for
actually finding your way to the roads that cross the trail, but you'd
have to buy one for each state--at $20 per state ($14 at Amazon.com), that 
adds up!  Maybe just state road maps (if they're GOOD ones) would suffice.
