HERE IS A TRULY WORKING DOCUMENT FOR THE ACTIVE HIKER/TRAIL PROTECTOR AND ELABORATOR AND THIS LOOSELEAF GREEN COVERED BOOK IS 5X6 5/8X 2.5 WITH PIN SCREW CONNECTORS MEANT TO EXPAND TO ACCEPT ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS SENT BY THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT AS THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL ITSELF IS NATURALLY IMPACTED BY WEATHER, USE, ABUSE AND OTHER OCCURRENCES. BUT HERE I AM A NON-HIKER TELLING HIKERS LOOKING AT THIS WHAT YOU ALL KNOW BETTER THAN I EVER CAN WHAT THIS AMAZING LIVING DOCUMENT MEANS AND HAS MEANT. THIS EXPANSIVE BOOK IN PROGRESS BEGAN IN 1942 WITH ITS FIRST INCLUSIONS TO 1951 AND THE PERSON(S?) WHO TENDED AND USED THIS DOCUMENT MADE COPIOUS NOTES NEATLY PRINTED AND CROSSED OUT IN RED OR CARBON BLACK OR CHECK OR X'D AS INFORMATION FORM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR REPORTING INDICATING AN ACTIVE LIVING DOCUMENT TO BE USED AND SERVE REAL LIFE ACTIVE HIKING AND LIVING ALONG THIS VAST WONDERFUL GEOGRAPHIC PHENOMENON.THE MAPS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION HAVING BEEN VERY CAREFULLY UNFOLDED AND FOLDED A NUMBER OF TIMES I WOULD SUSPECT ALTHOUGH IT IS HARD TO SEE ANY WEAR AND NO TEARS WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL IN WORKING MAPS.I COUNTED AT LEAST EIGHT FOLD OUT LARGE MAPS BUT MAYBE TEN OR MORE AS I TRIED OVER AND OVER TO COUNT BUT IT WASNT EASY GIVEN THE LOOSELEAF NATURE OF THE BINDING METHOD USED.THERE ARE A LARGER NUMBER OF SMALLER DETAIL MAPS FITTING ON THE SINGLE PAGES THROUGHOUT THE HUNDREDS OF PAGES BOUND INTO THE COVERS WITH THE SCREW-IN BINDERS. I MUST SAY THIS IS AN EXCITING HISTORICAL DOCUMENT OF A PART OF PEOPLES LIVES, GEOGRAPHIC LESSONS AND NATIONAL PARK USAGES ALL MEASURABLE IN DAILY DEEP AFFECTION AND RESPECT. HAVING SPENT A GOOD BIT OF TIME IN THE SPECIAL STATE OF MAINE IT WAS A SPECIAL TREAT TO OWN THIS DOCUMENT AND SEE MAINE FROM A VERY DIFFERENCE AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE.I WAS RAISED IN CLEVELAND OHIO WHERE A MILE FORM MY BIRTH HOUSE WAS THE VERY END MEASURABLY OF THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL ALMOST REACHING THE SHORE OF LAKE ERIE WHICH ALWAYS MADE A HUGE IMPRESSION ON ME AS A KID THAT SUCH A GEOGRAPHIC DEFINITION OF SUCH IMPORTANCE COULD EVEN BE DEMARCATED AT ALL LET ALONE AT THE END OF OUR VERY NEIGHBORHOOD! HAVING SEEN SOME OF THE TRAIL MYSELF WHILE IN MAINE, ITS BEAUTY IS AND REMAINS TO SEE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE FIERCE ADVOCACY AND CARE SHOWN IN THIS BOOK IN WRITING AND NOTES AND OBVIOUS SERIOUS ATTENTION AND ALL THE LOBBYING I UNDERWENT AS A SENIOR STAFFER ON CAPITAL HILL FOR MANY YEARS AND IT SURE WAS AND REMAINS WORTH IT IN ITS PRESERVATION FOR POSTERITY. THIS BOOK IS A SLICE OF ALL THAT EFFORT, NOT A GAS STATION MAP OF GEOGRAPHY IN THE OLDEN DAYS BUT A RECORDATION OF THE SOUL OF OUR NATION AND WE AR AS A PEOPLE!
