[pct-l] Vintage JMT Guide Book by Starr

[Jeffrey Olson]

I too have made extensive use of the Starr Guide.  I have the 1962 
edition, and it's tattered.  I like it because it talks about trails 
long abandoned.  I haven't made the time to explore yet, but I'm holding 
onto this gem of a book for that reason!

I used to carry it with me, along with USGS topo maps! Saw lot of others with it on the trail. In the early 1970s, it was universally accepted as the guidebook, at least in my neck of the woods.
