[pct-l] half mile pct maps - update

Tue Feb 22 13:59:51 CST 2011

I could be the shipping manager since I live in Portland, but I won't be
free to do it until after March 15th (unbelievable roll of events, with a
death in the family, a week of helping my mom with Hip replacement surgery,
then out of town for 10 days until 3/15).  So if everyone can wait that long
- I would be happy to do it.  If not, it will have to be someone else.

I'll still pick them up and I have another person who will be wanting
copies, I'll pick his up too, so add another to the list, you'll see him on
the PCT-L in a day or so - he's my hiking partner.

Regards,
Eric
