[at-l] Thru Hikers in the Whites

[Art Cloutman]

I headed up to Crawford Notch today to see if I could catch any 
hikers heading to big K.  Stopped by the Crawford Notch General Store 
and Campground where 6 hikers were wisely waiting out the stormy 
weather hoping to get some clear skies for there hike over Mt 
Washington.  I loaded them into my pickup truck and headed for North 
Conway for a break from hiking and a chance to get some replacement 
gear, food, etc.  Some of their names I read in Trailjournals.com. 
BagLady, Thumper, Bum Bum and B, Janet and Yonder were all having a 
great time on the last leg of their North Bound Hike.  The were 
comfortably set up in the Bunkhouse - the hostel facility at Crawford 
Notch General Store.  We had a nice time in town telling trail 
stories and talking strategies.  Sure wish I could get back out on 
the trail.
