On the 12th of June in 1975, I finished hiking the Appalachian Trail.. Basically both ends to the middle, hiked 1,600 miles in 1974 (June to October) then finished up the middle sections on a few trips in the spring of 1975.
The final piece started at Tyringham, MA and concluded (in the rain of course) at US Route 20 near Lee, MA.
No one would pick up a wet hitchhiker, so I walked into Lee to buy a bus ticket home.
Funny thing is that in 1989, I moved to New England and our first house was on US Route 20 in Westfield, some 30 miles east.
