The TI map is more of an "artistic impression" rather than anything useful. I made the mistake of using that on my first attempt at the loop, and it proved to be worse than having no map at all. (At least if I had no map, I would not have been looking for trails that do not exist.) It certainly served up some humble pie for me, but at least there were enough other pies to be had to get the humble taste out of my mouth.Originally Posted by FireInMyBones
Now I need to stop talking about pie again.

Why? Was there a problem with the map??

The Nat Geo map of the gorge is inaccurate in lots of ways, found that out my first trip too. The Gorge is very rugged and intricate and even hard to define where the trail goes sometimes. But on Ken's site you can get clear accurate maps of trails that have actually been explored. And they're free.

Thanks Hawk-eye for the info and fast approval.
Hmm...I have to check my available vaca time but would a Californian be welcome to join this Rat Hang scheduled to happen in May?
I'm hoping this turns into a Mecca type deal. As many hammockers from everywhere as we can in one spot together, it'd be a sight
So long as we met the guidelines for wilderness camping, that would be cool.
