BMT, split from: A Walk in the Woods Movie?

Great set of maps. Anymore for the more southerly region?

The BMTA had them on their web site at one time but have taken them off, maybe because there are versions of them in Homan's book and it is sold as a guidebook with the BMTA getting some of the proceeds? I have the jpeg files of the maps they use to post and of the ones I generated from the shared file that is on National Geographics website ( http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/t....cfm?fileid=31 ). The ones I generated are for 11"x14" and are much larger files (better resolution) than the 8"x10" ones that the BMTA once posted... I think I had to figure out the route once it crossed into TN because of the break in the National Geographics software, but I had BMTA's old style paper maps to use as a reference.

Looks like the BMT and Park service have set the route across Shuckstack, through Smokemont, up Mt Sterling and on in to Davenport Gap.

Nice!!!

i'll have to look through my books and see what Homan has to say about the BMT. i know he has referenced it, but i don't recall if he's gived complete directions. his guide to the slickrock area opened up a whole new area for me.

Gene:

Homan's BMT book only covers the 93 miles from Spring to the Ocoee River. Hopefully they'll come out with a second edition in the next few years.

I e-mailed the GSMNP about thru-hiking permits for the BMT, no response yet.
