Crossing over into Massachusetts on AT

On this date in 1974, I crossed over the state line between Vermont and Massachusetts on the AT. Left Seth Warner LT*


And reached Route 2 in Mass to head west into Williamstown, where I found a dorm to crash at Williams College.  This is a bridge just north of the highway where Mt. Greylock is in the distance.


The topo map here.


Present day trail has been relocated to the east.


Anyway, I stayed two days at Williams College, not sure why unless it had to do with PO hours on Saturday.  Maybe is was just nice to sleep inside the dorm and get a shower?

* Seth Warner has been closed and apparently a new shelter will open 2 miles north.
