My computer has crashed : ( so, it doesn't look like I'll be printing any trail guides in
the near future.
The etrail guides in the 1st column of the Site Map page contain basically the same
info as the Pocket Guide. These should work for you, if you have access to a printer.

Section 19
The road walk between mile 7.0 and 8.2 in Section 19 has been changed to woods trail.
Notice that mile 7.0 now says cross the road instead of turning right, so the GA 100
landmark between 7.0 and 8.2 is erased.

Section 26, 27, 28
The road walk through Dalton and Chatsworth, GA has been changed. It still crosses I-75
on GA 52, but then it drops south a few miles to continue east through the Conasauga
valley to Ramhurst instead of crossing the valley on GA 52 to Chatsworth and then south
on US 411 to Ramhurst. This southern route is much less populated and better reflects
the general area where property may be purchased to put the Pinhoti Trail in the woods
some day. This re-route has added 10.3 miles to the total length of the Pinhoti (334.9).
The trail guides for sections 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 have been updated to show the
new route and added mileage.
If you plan to hike through this area, you may want to print the trail guides for Sections
26, 27, 28 from the Site Map, Column 1. Each section will print on two - 8 1/2 x 11 sheets.
Starting today, the Pocket Guides include this new info.

Section 7
There was an error on page 27, Section 7 Hiking Directions.
12.4 ~ CR 24 CROSSING ~ 750' ~ TT, LC, RW
Go left 25 yards and go back in the woods on the right.
TT ~ Go left 6.9 miles to Oxford, AL.
Here is how it should read:
TT ~ Go left 2.0 mi. to 4 way. Go left 4.9 mi. to Oxford.
Going out to measure the distance to the 4 way stop sign has been on my to do list for
several years, but the idea just got lost until early this morning. Wow. My copy of the
Pocket Guide was laying there open to page 27 while I was drinking a cup of coffee....
