What I remember thirty years later 
from reading the book was the loneliness and the constant hunger
in cold weather which, 
though I can't speak from my own experience, I suspect are
still about the same for a southbound throughhiker starting in June.

I'm not sure about the relative resupply situation.    There might be more
resupply points now, and they are certainly better documented, but the
older trail route passed more lower elevations and so might have had some
advantages from that point of view.
