Memories Day 7
Day 7 Aug 7,1982<br>Since the trail we came up on

Re: Food Drops
If I had someone crazy enough to pack my food in

Does anyone have a map of the old JMT route down

the modern maps but wondered if the old route map is
viewable somewhere, just for the historical

OK, dropped the slides off to have some prints made but it will be about a week to get them back. Keep an eye on this club and I will post them under "Photos" here when they get back.

Re: A frequent image
I have a similar memory 'burned' into my mind,
