and need yer help. From Hanover, heading south, there isn't really a 
maildrop/town that screams out that it should be next. I can't afford to 
stay at every B&B on the T-rail and it looks like most of the Vermontian 
trailtowns are just that, one B&B and little more. Opinions? Also, is 
North Woodstock the best, most obvious, resupply/showering point south of 
the Whites? Don't ya love it when it rains in Indiana???>>>>>>

Felix,
Technically, you're still in the Whites in N. Woodstock. Glencliff is a
good place to get a maildrop... it's only 0.5 miles from the trail. If you
go to N. Woodstock, don't hitch in from Kinsman Notch/NH 112. It's almost
all fast-moving tourists. It was the toughest hitch i had on the trail
(other than Elk Park...don't even think about getting picked up there), 
and i know others who had problems. As for Vermont, i used Manchester
Center. Didn't care much for the town, but it was the most feasible
distance for a maildrop for me at the time.
