I'm doing a section hike next month from Monson to Katahdin. We're thinking of stopping at While House Landing. It is described in the On-line Companion: Link to On-line Companion. Scroll to page 188. It looks like a great place.

1) Anyone ever go there? What was your impression?
2) Prices are quoted as $15 (bunk house) to $25 (single room), showers $4. Are there any add ons I should be prepared for?
3) How much is dinner? Breakfast? Just a burger? Ice cream? Beer?
4) Is the boat ride free? How much $$?

The book says ask about prices for everything before you order. This implies some have been in for surprises. Has anyone been surprised by some expensive item? What else do I need to know?

Thanks
