Trail Journal 09.27.02

In at White House Landing for an overnight.  Easy 6 mile walk on good trail today.  The trail into the landing was a bit rugged but got us here.  Trail ended a boat dock where we sounded an air horn and the owner came across the lake to pick us up.  I'm sharing a cabin with Red and Gary, Loggerhead and Strongfish and a southbound section hiker named Lost in the Woods.  The camp is quite an operation:  it has private rooms, a cabin, bunkhouse and a lodge.  The owners serve good portions of food.  Had an immense burger for lunch and stew with biscuits for dinner.  And just before dinner, Montreal, Kutsa and her father arrived after a 22 mile walk.  Earlier I washed clothes in a laundry tub and used a hand wringer.  Seem to have gotten them clean.  Now they are drying over the wood stove.  It's good to be in under a roof; a big storm is supposed to hit tonight.  We are walking out tomorrow regardless.  Mother Earth and Father Sky, please watch over us.
