Whatever Double Zero used at the White Mtn Hostel was miraculous. Unbelievable. I think she did an extra wash cycle with Borax/ 20 mule team. I saw and used white vinegar at many hiker trash laundry...

When I was preparing to thru last year (solo, 52 yo female) everyone would ask me what I was most afraid of. My biggest fear was the AT would be full of people as mean as they are on Whiteblaze where...
This year I thru hiked with many, many Germans as well as 2 from the Czech Republic and quite a few Brits and Aussies (and don't mix the two up)
Turtlefeet...They are at the Carrabassett River...do you think they should be at Oberton?? (which was a more significant crossing than the Carrabassett when I went through this year).
