[Cdt-l] GPS on the CDT

[Doug Carlson]

I used a GPS on my Mont section hike. I laid out a route using Ley's and 
Delorme topo maps and loaded the route into my GPS and was able to follow it 
precisely, sometimes marking my own route where there was no trail.  The 
beauty of using the GPS is that there is no wasted or lost time.  The only 
thing I could not find was Latham springs east of Mack's Inn.  Heading west 
from Mack's Inn it was easy following the Mack's inn cut off up to the 
trail.
