Acknowledgments

In addition to those whom I have acknowledged in previous editions of The Pacific Crest Trail (single volume on) California, I would like to mention a few people who were particularly helpful when preparing this new edition. They include William M. Lane, William McCanna, Jr., Bruce Ohlson, David Shimek, and Thomas Zurr, who provided me with detailed notes. Thanks to Ray Jardine, as well, for his comments on various parts of the book.

Others who offered useful information include Scott Anderson, Bob Ellinwood, Bruce and Sharon Gilbert, John Olley, Steve Queen, Linda Spaulding, Jeff Stone, Gary Suttle, Taylor Wind Set, and Ben York. Although I have not had the time to check every detail that all these fine folks brought to my attention, I have found that where I have checked, their notes have been quite accurate. Useful bits of information, in the form of letters to the publisher, were forwarded to me as well. I want to thank anyone who took the time to send me constructive comments but whose name is not acknowledged here.

I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those at Wilderness Press who have been instrumental in creating this new edition. Paul Backhurst, editor, did a great job of splitting the original single volume of The Pacific Crest Trail, Volume 1, California into two more manageable volumes: Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California and Pacific Crest Trail: Southern California, which I co-authored with Ben Schifrin, Thomas Winnett and Ruby Johnson Jenkins. Kris Kaiyala and Jessica Lage pulled together the final Word file, proofread, and identified photos for the text. Jannie Dresser coordinated the project and worked to find solutions to the arduous and costly task of transforming an old book into new production technology. Jaan Hitt created the much more readable design of the book, and designed the front and back cover.

The photograph on the front cover by Londie G. Padelsky adds aesthetic appeal to this most practical of guidebooks. A number of individuals helped us explore options for producing the maps in digital format: Glenn M. Bock, Tom Ekman of TOPO! National Geographic, Ben Pease, and Tom Reynolds.

Finally, Mike Jones, as publisher of Wilderness Press and Thomas Winnett, publisher emeritus, are to be thanked for keeping this book in print.
