Batona Trail Topo Map
- Thread starter sgtdave4321

Speaking of the trail, PPA, in the last newsletter made some claims about mileage along the Batona Trail that seem out of whack. The title is:
Hike the Batona Trail in three 10-mile sections with naturalist John Volpa
They go on to cite these three sections, none of which seems like 10 miles to me. Could be I'm overlooking something:
Ong's Hat to Pakim Pond
Through the new Franklin Parker Preserve section (rt 72 through rt 532),
Route 532 to Carranza Memorial

Ong to Pakim Office is 9.8
Preserve is 7.1
532 - Memorial is only 6
They all round up to 10, but a hiker never exaggerates miles and time

I believe there is full coverage of the Batona Trail on my CorePines map for Garmin GPS units. Even if you don't have a Garmin GPS, you can use the map on your computer in Garmin's free Basecamp software. Download it here, full documentation is included and it works on Mac and PCs: core_pines.zip
Download Basecamp from Garmin here. The map is also compatible with Garmin's older Mapsource software: http://www8.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp

It has been awhile and unfortunately I don't have any notes on this, but I *think* your track was one of the sources I used for the trail on this map.
