The itinerary as of 3 May 2007

Based on the sources I found, here is the itinerary I walked.  The main sources for this were the Winder Diary found in the Maryland Historical Society(cited as "WD" in the matrix) and Jedediah Hotchkiss' book, Make Me a Map of the Valley. Where possible, I included the other sources cited.
