Totally, a five year old guide is basically useless for actual hiking. Trails get rerouted constantly due to erosion, new bridges, or park service decisions. I've seen a clearly marked path in a book completely washed out in real life. Why even bother publishing something that outdated?

Found my old house keys in a jacket pocket yesterday. They were so smooth from years of rubbing against loose change that you could barely see the teeth. Took me a full minute to remember what door they even opened.
