Changes to Tennessee Delorme Map

Recent trip to the REI store in Brentwood, I picked up a new copy of the Tennessee Delorme Map. I retired my old map prior to deployment since it was over 10 years old and marked up. I immediately noticed many significant changes that could affect the Tennessee Delorme Challenge Cache.

First of all, the old map showed grids 13 to 71. The new map has 6 through 79.

Where the old map has half or partial grids from Stewart County all the wall across the state, the new map are all full grids. This could make the completing the cache easier. There are three partial grids located. One located southeast of Elizabethton, TN, where I-40 enters Tennessee at North Carolina and the eastern part of Polk County.

Currently, I have doubts that I will continue working on the Delorme Challenge due to the changes and that 39% of all my finds are now archived.
