a terribly windy day with the threat of severe thunder storms. we had a big hut breakfast and then raced across the ridge. another hikers gave us his number to call him if the storms picked up answer we needed to leave the mountain as fast as possible. fortunately the threat was empty again and I had some amazing views from the top of the franconia ridge. when we got down we hitched a ride to lincoln to see a movie ans stay the night, but the hostel was full and we could not find a cheap place to stay. i called the guy from the mountain to ask if he knew of a cheap place and he said they were headed back to georgia. but then he called back to say they turned around and would split a room with us. we saw the movie and afterwards he picked us up and took us to the comfort inn. he said the room was on him. it was awesome. his name was todd and he hiked in 2007 and said he had been in our shoes and knew how tough it was. that restored my faith in humanity.
