Partial Finger Lakes Trail Google Map overlay
The Cayuga Trails Club has put together a Finger Lakes Trail Map in google maps that covers Finger Lakes Trail Maps M14 - M19 (basically the area from between Keuka and Seneca Lakes almost all the way to I-81). It also includes the Interloken Trail in the Finger Lakes National Forest.
It looks pretty cool & I guess Google just recently updated the aerial photography for the area so now it’s high res & you can zoom all the way in to 20ft scale which is awesome.
It has the Shindagen Hollow section which I have hiked but probably not in 8+ years. I really want to do that section again. I remember doing it last time in late fall. I remember it was cold and everything was brown and it was snowing this sideways snow/rain. I guess it must have been 1999 because I think it was near when Blair Witch Project came out. I remember that the lean-to was in bad shape and seemed really creepy in the low light of the bad weather… and I think my imagination was getting carried away though I’m sure I was trying to pretend that it wasn’t.

Sadly I can’t take any credit at all. I just found the link in the Finger Lakes Trail yahoo group. I’m not even affiliated with the Cayuga Trails Club though things like that make me wish I lived in or closer to Ithaca.
