Maine at last!

From Sarah and Jay via telephone conversation:
Jay crossed into Maine on Monday this week after a tough time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It had rained on him much of the time he hiked through there.

One interesting hostel where Jay stayed is the White Mountains Hostel. http://www.whitemountainshostel.com/id1.html He entered through the garage, and upon entering saw that there was a spot to take off boots and shoes, a place to change from dirty trail clothes into clean clothes that were provided, and baskets in which to put dirty clothes. There was a shuttle going into town twice daily, and his laundry was done for him while he was in town. He said it felt pretty funny to walk around town in someone else's clothes. It was a nice hostel, and a great place to make the transition from New Hampshire into Maine.
