Trying to problem solve locating a spot to store my airline duffel while I'm hiking, don't really want to carry it for 5 days.
I'm flying into Albany International on 9/23, shuttling to the Manchester trailhead, getting out at Rt. 4 near Rutland on 9/28, getting the bus to Rutland, then the bus back to the airport early the next morning.
The airport tells me they will not store it, no more lockers in this age of heightened security (guess I can't argue that one). Tried a couple to stores in the airport, but same security issues. If I randomly toss it in a bush on the airport campus, no doubt it would be seen on camera.
Thought I might be able to mail it to the hostel in Rutland, but not sure it would get there in time.
Anyone have some thoughts on this? Anyone familiar with mail delivery times in that area?
Would appreciate your help! Thanks!
