OK, so before I had ever set foot in the Whites I'll admit that my opinion of the hut system was already somewhat low and I had planned weeks before arriving there to do them as fast as possible and stealth all the way through.
However, after breaking my left foot at the top of the Mahoosuc Arm decided that 20+'s through the Whites were'nt within my ability. So I changed my outlook a bit and had an absolutely wonderful time. I got work for stay and was treated extremely well by every hut that I went to.

I had one bad experience with a campsite caretaker who openly despises Thru-Hikers, apparently even the ones who are his coworkers. Oh, well, water under the bridge.

All in all the views and weather were fantabulous and the people were welcoming, polite and very accomodating. I even did a day of trail maintenance with dingle at Kinsman Pond Campsite, which cut me from a 12 to a 3 mile day.
