Day 100 - Dry River Campground

August 23 - +Galehead Hut to Dry River Campground - 14.7 miles

Got an early start today as the Hut Crew had to prepare breakfast for the "paying" guests ($85-90/night) so they kicked us out at 6am. We made out way to Zealand Falls Hut, where we lounged around, made lunch (with fresh spinach from the hut) and were given gingerbread/cinnamon cake bars for free.



Eventually got a hitch to Crawford Notch Campground. I was astounded at how long it took to get a hitch, especially with what we were pulling off.

Before any of you make the same mistake, let me vent about Crawford Notch Campground. This private campground screwed us over. They were charging $0.79 for one pack of ramen! Who does that? They then tried charging the five of us $56 total to camp there. $56! Are you kidding me? Fortunately we thought to head back to the State Campground where we only had to pay $5 per person. Thank you Ranger John.
