I agree with these points, made above: 1. Long term, this town really, really needs a hostel. 2. This town will never have a hostel [from what I've heard this last day or so].

So sorry this is what you took from my post. I'm hoping my follow-up leaves you with a better impression.
So after typing my post above last night I used Whiteblaze to connect with a former thru-hiker living in Hanover. My experience here changed dramatically for the better. My Hanover stop turned out to...
I'm in Hanover right now, two days after the front-page article about how hiker-friendly some residents [and the Chamber of Commerce] want the town to be.

LOL guess which of the seven books in the poll was NOT on the shelf at the ATC in Harper's? Hint: It has the most votes so far, as of 4 p.m. 2/24.

I've only read a couple myself and I want to know what other...
I carried the thru-hiker avg of 30 pounds give or take. Too weak for the trail means, in my case, the the mainstay came apart from the bottom of the pack. The plastic piece connecting aluminum bar to...
Lemon? I don't know, I doubt it but can't rule it out. Yes, I called Gregory and they sent me the loaner and then a replacement Gregory. The Palisade was great, though.
I tried a bounce box last year. Too much hassle. If you need it, you'll pack it.
There's A free shower in Maryland, and a couple more up north. And by Massachusetts it's too cold to stream bathe. You're def going to want a shower every week or so so budget for hostels.
Do NOT get the Baltoro. Take a look at its mainstay: it was waay too weak for a long distance hike. Compare it too the structure of the atmos or the palisade; those are much more stable.
