Everything below lifted from www.appalachiantrail.org

The 2005 edition of the Appalachian Trail Data Book is now available, with a 
new official length of the Trail?2,174.9 miles, or 0.8 mile longer than 
reported in 2004. This is the 27th edition of the Data Book compiled by volunteer 
Daniel D. Chazin of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference and the ATC board's 
publications committee. Trail mileage varies slightly every year as clubs and 
the ATC complete relocations, working to place the A.T. in its optimal, 
protected location.
