Hikers Welcome Hostel

Day: 135 (August 7)
Starting location: Ore Hill Shelter
Ending location: Glencliff, NH
State: NH
Miles today: 7.5
Miles total: 1,781.7

We had another great night of sleep because of the chilly temperatures. It's so nice to be snug and cozy in your sleeping bag. It just makes it hard to get out! When we emerged from our tent, Chopsticks had a fire going. It reminded me so much of our cold early days in Georgia. They say that you finish the trail in temperatures similar to what you started in. It hasn't been that cold yet but you never know in the higher elevations.

Our hike today was short but pretty. The trail was beautiful and green. Jason and I are getting so excited about the White Mountains. They say it's the toughest, yet most beautiful part of the trail.

We got to NH25 around lunchtime and we walked the half mile down to the Hikers Welcome Hostel. We spent the afternoon relaxing and resting up before we enter the Whites. There are a bunch of us at the hostel tonight, I think we are all going to town to get dinner and resupply.
