[pct-l] Map Weight

[patti kulesz]

Jim those guide books suck! they will have u thinking ur getting ready to climb 
this enormously steep mountain and u'll be sayin to urself any minute now for 
like an hour before u finally realize it's never gonna happen. I think the dude 
was a big whimp or something IDK.

AND it skips pieces here and there. You'll be walking and read about something 
and then suddenly u'll be be on a part of the trail not even mentioned and 
wonder if u walked thru a black hole or something...I remember this one part in 
OR where there was seven miles of lava rock...never mentioned in the book...just 
skipped over to the next TH!

I hate those books!! lol

Whew :)

OK, you made me go measure.

WP set of 3 books: 3 lbs 13.3oz
Entire print of Halfmile's maps and the 7 pages (printed 8 pages per sheet)
for the postholer databook: 2lbs 8.3 oz

And I was off in my height estimate. The stack is really only ~1 in tall.

Hope this helps.
