[pct-l] JMT map pack...

[jeffreyn]

If you're hiking the JMT, it's a fine set.  It's got useful annotations,  
such as major trail junctions and mileage.  It's a good compromise between  
size and detail.  You can fill in details from a number of guidebooks.   
OTOH, it can be said there's almost no need on the JMT for maps, as the  
trail is for the most part obvious (Stephen Ambrose notes, in "Undaunted  
Courage," that the locals told Lewis and Clark a trail back to the plains  
was so obvious "even a white man could find it.").  The maps are on a  
plasticized paper, so rather durable and quite water-proof, yet will take  
ink markings well.  YOU get to decide about the trade-off between weight  
and the need for information.
