[edit] 1923 ALA Green Book route from Hudson, NY to MA

I have legitimate proof of NE-17 and its route from the ALA 1923 Green Book, Hudson, NY to Pittsfield, MA via Great Barrington. It clearly states the route as follows:

NE-17:

• HUDSON. At south end of City Park, turn left.
• Turn right onto Columbia Ave.
• Bear left onto Green St., small park on right.
• Straight ahead; railroad crossing.
• Under railroad viaduct.
• Claverack. Straight ahead.
• Hollowville. Bear left.
• Craryville. Straight ahead.
• Hillsdale. Straight ahead.
• Macadam road ends at top of mountain.
• Slow. This is a "spill" bend.
• Bear left.
• Meet and follow trolley.
• South Egremont, Mass. Straight ahead, leaving trolley at left.

It states the exact route by using landmarks which definitively show it did go where I referenced it did. Monsieurdl ^{mon talk-mon contribs} 12:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
