    I was oggling the 1 lb whoppie pies...

    Good job remembering the smiley....

    BTW, one of the noisiest nights I had on the entire AT was camping near a road in the hundred mile wilderness. I forget where it was but it was near a campground that had a store that had recently closed. Cars drove by all night long.

    Well you are an exception. I don't think your little pack can carry ten days of food, even that stuff you cook on an Esbit. You could never go that long.

    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
    You never know which one is talking.

    mmm 1 lbs whoopie pies. every hikers dream

    After the trail I was at a pizza shop in Concord, NH that had massive whoopie pies (for 3$) that they estimated at 5000ish calories! These things were about 8 by 3 inches. They looked like a cream (dream?) filled discus

    I stopped by in late August 2012 for lunch and resupply. From talking with the guy, they seemed to be planning to be opened this year as he was talking about an upgrade to their credit card system for next season (ie. no longer having to telephone call a credit card number in for a high fee) that would lower the cost of using one.

    Just checked the Whitehouse Landing web site and no news about the upcoming season, in fact it doesn't look like it has been updated for a couple years. http://whitehouselanding.com/index.html

    White House Landing has always been my favorite place to stop on the whole Appalachian Trail. Bill and Linda are some of the nicest people I know.

    Take the canoe out before dusk and you can watch Katahdin fade away for the night....beautiful!!

    The only thing I found annoying is every time I'd get near their resupply food someone would come out and watch me like a hawk like I was going to steal a pop tart or something.
    Nothing wrong with keeping a tally of goods in a business. Bill and Linda have a correct total waiting like any business should.

    I always had to get after Steve Longley when it was time to settle up at his place. He would give me an amount I owed and it would ALWAYS be much less than it should have been. I had to go down his list and figure what he wasn't charging me for. He would have lost $10 to $15.00 each time on just me. Can you imagine how much he must have lost over the years??

    Think Keith Shaw didn't keep a tally??

    Your question about White House Landing being open this year has been answered already as yes. I ALWAYS resupply there whether I'm walking north that year or walking south. It's about 70 miles from Monson for a nobo and about 30 miles from Abol Bridge for a sobo. I also pack out a pizza for the first night's dinner out of White House Landing no matter which way I'm heading.

    Like any private resupply facility it's best to call before sending any packages.
    Sly....I don't believe they have accepted mail drops for years now.

    I guess you could call it wilderness, but there sure are lots of people that drive to spots in "The Wilderness" in cars and a fair share of loggers and day hikers and lots of roads. A person can arrange to have a cache hidden for them or be picked up or dropped off there. It is more remote than most of the AT and nice walkin' though.

    Right, says so right in the description I quoted! (I think I was thrown off by one of the preceding questions)
