Apr 27 - Day 48 - Woods Hole Hostel - MILE 623.8

A spectacular ridge walk to Woods Hole Hostel. This 1880's chestnut lig cabin was discovered in 1940 by Roy and Tillie Wood who lived there for a year as graduate students for an annual rent of $5. They later bought the cabin and surrounding land and 40 years later after retiring and extensive renovations opened the hostel for AT thru-walkers in 1986. Their granddaughter and her husband inherited the place and continue the tradition with emphasis on sustainabl e living yhrough bee keeping, farming and organic gardening. A true jewel in the mountains that everyone looks forward to visiting.
