    You can probably park in the Howard Johnson lot if you ask them, which is really close to the trail. Also, don't pass up 4 Pines hostel at the foot of Dragons Tooth and The Homeplace restaurant!

    That stretch is really enjoyable and easy. You get to walk through a pine forest where the trail is cushiony from all the pine needles. Yes, you can do it in 1.5 days. I would probably walk 10 miles...
