### The trail enters (NOBO -- always NOBO, isn't it?) between sites 10 and 12, so my guess is that number 8 would be the one the boys and I occupied to prep for our 2002 hike. (I doubt, though, that you'll need to be making phone reservations.) You are, of course, awfully close to the Long Trail Inn (known perhaps by more affected names) (and yes, that was "a"ffected), which might be sweet, might be spendy, this time o'year.
