Woods Hole – Fox AT Thru Hike – Day 45

Even with a short hike into Woods Hole, the trail provided beauty. In the misty morning, dewdrops lingered on the spring flowers.

So far, I’d say Woods Hole has the best hostel food. I also liked the fact that you can get everything and pay only once. The refueling shed had a good selection and fuel was reasonably priced. I enjoyed Boots Off more, but they are far enough apart to do both.

I haven’t been doing city reporting largely because I haven’t been in the city long enough. I crossed Damascus like a hero and arrived late in Marion. This trend will continue, so municipal reports may not exist for a while.

A quick, possibly controversial observation:

Every time we meet, someone inevitably comments «hikers are very nice people,» along with other platitudes about how we generally have better-than-average character, along with a lot of assumptions about things in common.

Maybe I’ll do a full post later, detailing what I’m going to say.

Hikers are not good people, nor better people. We are just people. Like all people, there is a mix. And many times we have nothing in common beyond having come this far. Most of the time that is enough.
