Resources and Reference Materials

On many of my hikes I have made up the route that I have followed. On these routes I have tried to map it by purchasing digital mapping software, if at all possible, so that I can help out anybody else planning a hike in a similar place. I know have a lot of maps stockpiled and have typed up some logistical information as well. If you are interested in hiking in any of the areas that I have info for then contact me and I will send you a cd-rom with the maps. This should save you a lot of time because each map has taken me hundreds of hours to plan the route and plot it on the map. If you are interested in a cd-rom for a certain route then contact me and let me know what you are interested in and I will help however I can.

The maps are free of charge, but I would appreciate anything that you would give back to cover the costs of the cd, jewel cases, postage, mapping programs, and the countless hours that I have put into making these (even after I have hiked the route and don’t need to perfect the maps anymore).

For those of you that are requesting a map set, I will give you background info and helpful hints for the map set when you e-mail me. If the route is an established route created by the author of the guidebook, i.e. the Hayduke Trail, I still highly recommend carrying the guidebook. The guidebook will have the route details in description and more information on water sources which will be very helpful.

Also, these “routes” are just that. They are not trails like the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail. Don’t feel like the route that I have plotted is the only way you can go, instead it is just an example of what has worked. Use it and go off of it and make up your own way as well. Hike your own hike!

Maps and Logistics:

(The logistics link to the document but the maps are too big and too many files so you will have to contact me to get a cd-rom.)

Side notes:

  1. When I was planning my Scandinavia trip, I could not find a digital map set for Norway or Sweden. If anybody finds one please let me know. Or if somebody is interested in doing this hike and they find a digital map set, I will map out my route for you on the mapping software.
