OK folks, we're finishing up the AT this summer, taking off around June in northern CT. so, should be in the whites by mid/end of june. Honestly starting a new thread hoping to get new and up to date info so if any of ya'll got advice it would be great.
1: How regulated are you in free-camping in the whites? Like am are we gonna have some AMC guy kicking our tent down if the shelters and campsites (AKA we don't agree with paying to stay in a shelter or to camp) are "full." IE how is stealth-ing?
2: Lets say no stealth-ing, I only have an outdated guide book (at the moment). How much are the camping fee's?
3: Even out of trail shape we can bang out 10-15 miles in a half a day in the Berkshires (aka MA section and side trails). How hard are the white's really? Such as, should 10-15 in the whites be a full day or can you push farther?
I guess the bottom line is really, how much bull$#!^ are we going to have to deal with through AMC land?
Thanks to anyone with some info!
