[pct-l] New PCT maps

[Lon Cooper]

Marcia,

Do you know which new PCT maps you have questions about?

I have recently finished uploading free maps I have created of PCT
Sections A - K here:
http://www.pctmap.net

A new PCT atlas has been published and is available for parts of the PCT here:
http://www.pctatlas.com/

The forest service is about half finished with a set of maps such as this one:
