View Full Version : New Hostel
The "Happy Hiker Hollow" hostel is now open in the Atkins area for those of you who can't face the Relax Inn. Rambunny and Aqua have lots of trail time and are very welcoming hosts. Good food, good beds, good shuttles and above all else, good people. Stayed there for a couple of nights while section hiking in the area. I recommend you have a look. When you come off of the trail at the Shell station...give them a call and they'll come pick you up.. Bumpa

Rambunny will know how what hikers need and want, and take carry of everyone. Of that I am sure!
I spoke to Rambunny earlier. My wife and I are staying there next week on my way to Cape Cod.
