Duncan's, on the AT 50 years ago

 When backpacking on the AT, you would frequently come across a small country store.  Duncan's was a classic example of this.  This two shots were taken by my hiking companion, Ralph, of RPH fame.



I bought a soda, ice cream and cigs for 97 cents!

The original route across the State Route 42 valley looks like this:


And if you use Google Streetview it looks like this in 2021.


Shame, but had the trail still pass this place it might still be open.
