So dug out my old copy of the ATN to see the spring edition where they posted trail news. Remember this is before instant news on the internet.
On this date in 1974, "I took the older route and did ok."
The newer route left Sabbath Day Pond LT and went over more mountains. I was behind my goal of hiking miles, partly because I left later in the morning. But at this point of the trip, I needed 10 hours of sleep to recover.
Here is the map of the southern route leaving west from the LT:
and now the same area from a newer USGS map showing the current route:
Isn't the USGS TopoView map really cool?
