Entering Massachusetts on the AT

 Entered the Commonwealth on the 12th of October 1974.  Crashed at a dorm in Williams College and stayed at Perring House.. And did a zero on the 13th, a Sunday.  



Town days meant a chance to buy food, do laundry, write post cards and hit the PO.  You had to visit the Post Office before noon on Saturday or wait until Monday to pick up your General Delivery mail.

I wrote in my diary that I had "40 bucks in case & one ten buck travelers check....Also I have food for almost 15 days or so."

Here is a shot of Greylock from a bridge as I get to the road to hitch.
