South of Greylock (14 October 1974)

 I left Williams College on the 14th of October, climbed over Mt. Greylock, the tallest peak in Massachusetts.  I camped at Kitchen Brook LT, that I believe has been torn down and replaced with Mark Noepel Shelter.  The LT was about four miles south of the summit so should be on this map somewhere.


The trail has since been relocated to the east as shown in the newer USGS map and the State Park map here.


If you were hiking the trail in 1939, you could have used this trail map.

The next day I continued south, passing through Cheshire and Dalton to camp out.
