[at-l] "Appalachian Pages" // ALDHA Companion

[Hank & Renee Swicegood]

The ALDHA companion remains the most accurate of the three guidebooks 
available, with the thru-hiker's handbook in second place.  If I were 
thru-hiking, I'd go with ALDHA's Companion.  As a section hiker, I find 
the extra info in the thru-hiker's  handbook helpful.  The Appalachian 
Pages does not have a lot of things that I  feel are necessary - like 
directions to campsites and springs along the trail that are not 
obvious.  Personally, I wouldn't use it for hiking the AT.
