There will be ongoing efforts to keep the books abreast of changes to the trail as they happen. The beauty of our publishing arrangement is that books are produced in small lots on demand. Guidebooks have customarily started out accurate but are printed in lots of many thousands. No changes are possible until they sell out and that can take years. These books can be updated as needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Our field survey itself is heavily dependent upon government funding for the purpose of documenting the official route.
