While route-finding through Horizon Books today I came across several gems including several old copies of the Seattle Times Sunday Pictorial from the mid 1970s. So, of course, I grabbed them up (CHOMP) -- many with great photos and northwest history. This one particularly held my interest as the feature article is about the PCT getting a "lift". The article and photos were by Jay Steinberg (I hope it is OK to share this). Here is a page or two -- sorry for the mediocre quality of the photos but I don't have the worlds best scanner. (Apologies to Tom if I have already used up my allotted space -- hope you will make an exception because this historical information is important to many of us). Karen

Karen - Thanks for posting that news piece. In the summer of 1976 we climbed Mt Thomson using the "in progress" PCT approach. Here's how the brand-new cut looked then. We used the dead-end of the tread as a bivouac.
