August 8, 2017 — The short but STEEP hike down Mount Moosilauke did me in, and when I looked up and saw more storm clouds up the next mountain, I decided to take the rest of the day off in the trail town of Lincoln, NH. A shuttle driver told me about Chet’s, a hiker hostel run by one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. This nero was not planned but gave me what I needed to tackle the rest of the Whites.
