    ==============================================
    The front section is a mileage guide, much like the Data Book, with single line descriptions of key points, water sources etc. along the trail. There are page references to the more detailed summaries of towns and points of interest which are in the back section. The back section is more of what you'd need once you actually got to that particular point of interest rather than when you're hiking.

    I do see your point about everything being in one continuous style rather than being broken up but I did not find it difficult to navigate and use.

    No one has mentioned whether ALDHA is going to publish a SOBO edition. Wingfoot use to, but he says there weren't enough sales to justify printing one anymore. Will ALDHA consider?

    Before anyone says read the current WF's backwards, we did. Wasn't a problem. Just got to keep the Lefts right and the rights left. No biggie. I am talking true SOBO format.

    Probably not, and for the same reason.....not enough Southbounders, so not enough sales potential.

    Out there now??

    Hell, no, I'm not that crazy. I'm in New Hampshire which is bad enough.
    I prefer to see Franklin in the springtime.

    But thanx anyway.

    Actually I buy new copies of both books every year, as I like to keep up with new stuff and additions. Also, I revise my "Re-Supply" article every year, and I like to have a look at both new Guidebooks before I do so I hopefully don't leave out something important.
