TEHCC Trail Relocations

This wiki page is to capture relocations of the Appalachian Trail since the 14th edition of the NC/TN guidebook issued in 2013. Some relos will result in a change of trail distance, thus reported for annual data book update. This page, like the trail itself, is a work in progress to figure out how to best use the available tools.

Relos to be Measured

Active relocations:
- Between Little Rock Knob and Clyde Smith Shelter (third of three) - check in 2015
- South of TN91
- Turkeypen Gap - done by SAWS
- Backbone Rock Trail (blue blaze)
