I have printed a few versions of the maps. I just found a really good one of the hike I will be doing. I am hiking from Black Mountain Camp which is a 11 mile hike there and back. 3600 ft. ascent. I do have a few very warm hats. I have told everyone I know I am going (and even a few people I don't know but will listen). I will pick up some spare batteries and the headlight I got lasts 50 hours it says. L.E.D. lights. Glad I don't need snow shoes or ice axes. Socks are just socks I got from Walmart that are suppose to keep your feet dry and are extra long. My feet sweat in my thinsulate boots here, but its 75 in my house and 75 outside. Boots fit good. I wore them all day yesterday basically to ensure they fit good. Will be picking up some walking poles this week.

Thanks for all your input.
