some of my fondest 
childhood hiking memories were hiking the Whites with my parents.  We 
would never worry about carrying water as we just scooped it up in our 
hands and drank it.  No such think as Giarrdia or such.  No worries 
about pollution then.  No crowds either.  Oh the Whites were so peaceful 
then......

We'd leave the coast of Maine and head for the mountains or every childhood 
trip I can remember. We'd camp just North of Lost River the first two weeks of 
July every summer in the 1960s, fish and do hikes and climbs all over the 
Whites.
In 1964(?) I met my first AT hikers, two Jewish kids who had walked all the 
way from New York and were camping at the site next to us. Knowing this list, 
I'll probably hear from someone who knows who they were! :O)
