Hike 2.  Dogwood 50k

 

Club: PATC

Date: 04/20/2002

Parking: good

Topo! Mid-Atlantic Trace: Dogwood50k_GPS20020420Incomplete.tpo; Dogwood50k_Complete_20020420.tpo;

Universal GPX format from Topo!: Dogwood50k_GPS20020420Incomplete_tpo.gpx; Dogwood50k_Complete_20020420_tpo.gpx

Notes: the battery in the GPS ran out after 3/4 of the trip.  I hand-drew the rest and post it as a separate file.  This was the last Dogwood due to the fact that one hiker died on this trip.  Note that 50k is in kilometers which is about 31 miles.  There was a fire the night before the trip on one of the trip's trails and that caused the the hike to be modified which added a few miles.

Warnings: notice the elevation gain.
