Carter Notch Hut shed

Connor and I are sleeping in a small shed tonight, the shed that is next to the hut, where all of the first-class citizens are sleeping. The hut system is strange and sucky so far! 
Well that's not entirely true I guess. The hut people gave us some cold leftover chicken and some hot fantastic tomato lentil soup. 
I am not really the type to 1) accept handouts from strangers, and definitely 2) ask for favors/handouts from strangers. But that is how the White Mountains work apparently. Lo and behold, Superguide was at the hut before us and got one of the two work for stay things, so they could only take one of us, and we stick together so neither of us took it. they then fed us and some other hikers some leftovers and the others went to stealth camp (which I would much prefer but we don't have our tent/hammock bc we are semi slackpacking) and the hut people let us sleep in their shed thing. It only locks from the outside so it is not locked and it is chock full of bulk supply foods like canned goods so I hope a bear doesn't eat me. Goodnight.

  1. unless the bear has a can opener, you're probably ok...maybe the hut people should lock you in for added safety...?? Hut people, too funny!!
