June 12th 1974 and 1975, Appalachian Trail

 In Georgia, it was a "ball busting day - crossed Tray Mtn. (no sweat).


Camped at Dick's Creek Gap.  Several other campers were near by.  Ralph and I shared dinner.  This night I made tuna helper for 2, and he made pudding.  Tomorrow we swap.

June 12 a year later was the day I finished hiking the AT on US Route 20, east of Lee, Massachusetts.  It must have been Karma, since in 1989, our first apartment in Westfield was on US20, some thirty miles to the east!


Funny, when hitchhiking into Lee, no one wanted to pick me up.  Got a bus ticket there, and rode to NYC then Maryland.  (I can't explain the ticket date of the 11th though).
