Then you must have missed some of the AT. I ran the crew that did all the
Putnam County relos. We started in 1983. South Mt Pass to Graymoor was the
first piece. Graymoor to Chapman was second. Then over Canopus Hill and
Canopus Hill Rd to South Highland Rd. The last piece from South Highland
into Fahnestock was done in 1986 so you probably walked a big piece of
Dennytown Road but little else.
