While the Hut Croo was doing breakfast, the four of us thru-hikers
completed our Junior Naturalist packet. I enrolled, did my school
work, and graduated all in the same day. They only had packets for up
to 12 years old and our combined age was 103, so we had to get by with
what they had. We filled it out and submitted it just in time. We
were included in the graduation ceremony and said the pledge. So, now
my new title is Junior Naturalist Hobbot.
People kept giving us stuff today. Apple Juice had helped carry a
guy's pack into the hut yesterday and agreed to help him carry it
out. In return the guy gave each of us $20. Other people gave us all
sorts of food. I entered the Whites with 6-7 days of food and left
with 7-8 days of food.
I am now out of the Whites. I had so much fun thanks to the Hut Croos
and all the people I met. I was considering yoyoing the Whites (turn
around and doing it again), but I should probably finish getting to
Katahdin and then think about coming back.
The only way to get into Gorham was to hitch. This was my second
hitch all trip. It took a little longer this time, but I eventually
got a ride. I stopped at the Barn hostel because a few other hikers
were there. Tomorrow I get new shoes!
