Summary of Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers' Companion (2009)

It is especially designed for potential thru-hikers who want the basic information (on towns and shelters and water) for a five- to six-month trek in the woods, at a reasonable price, but also want the adventure of finding out the extras for themselves. Edited by Leslie (Gotta Hike) Mass, who hiked the whole trail after age 60. With research by more than three-dozen dozen thru-hiker volunteers in 14 states, backed by the first-hand information of the trail's volunteer and staff maintainers and managers, and extensive information from the 2009 A.T. Data Book.

Now sized at 5 1/2 inches x 7 1/2 inches for easy packing in a quart-sized resealable baggie, with town maps, illustrations, equipment-makers' toll-free numbers, post office hours.
