Thanks! I can transform those maps into Garmin's format easy enough. I created some maps for a trip up there a couple of months ago, running out of Sylva, NC, but never made it, due to severe rain forecast for the whole time we would have been there.
Being my first time in the area, and knowing no one (yet) that will be there, I'm hesitant to volunteer to be a ride leader, but we'll see how things go.
