Step One: Download Google Earth (Free): Here
Step Two: Download A.T. GIS Centerline data: Here
Step Three: Download A.T. GIS Shelter Data: Here
Step Four: Open Google Earth and install.
Step Five: Once Google Earth is running go to File>Open and load the .kml files (A.T. centerline and A.T. GIS Shelter data.)
Step Six: The Appalachian Trail will be loaded in Google Earth and each shelter should also be marked. If you open Brandon's link to his itinerary at the top right of the blog, you can find the locations where he intends to be each night.
If you are having trouble figuring it out, post a comment.
