Look for Caveman of Ohio's posts on here. He's starting soon and from OH too. Maybe you can coordinate to save cash.

There's also the Birdcage and another hostel/trail angel in North Adams. This was on '07 so I'm not sure if they're still operating.
Quick update- They are closing the shelter as of September 1st.
As far as the water is concerned, there is a spur trail to the water source. The official water source is NOT from the stream...
Mad Taco- I recommend the Big Daddy Fatty. It's a homemade pita wrapped around a pile of meat, slaw, avocado, cheese, etc. Extremely filling and delicious. And they have beer :-)
I agree with the Inn at the Long Trail, hiker friendly rates and yummy food. Extremely hiker friendly and you can camp across the street if you don't want to pay for a room. Swimming at Little Rock...
They don't advertise it but they do give discounts to hikers who walk in. Basically they won't discount a reservation but if they have a room available when you get there they'll give it to you for...
Easy to hitch into town from App Gap. There's also the Waitsfield Inn right in town that you can stay/leave a mail drop. The post office is easily accessible and there are 2 grocery stores plus a...
Glen Ellen Lodge will be closed for reconstruction beginning around Sept 14th. Plan accordingly.
When are you starting your hike? I live in VT and will be heading up there soon either on Labor Day or another day that week. I used to shuttle so I can help you find it and/or we can coordinate...
You can park at the airport for $8/ day.
Either location would be reasonably "safe" however you should keep in mind that both locations will have a lot of traffic and anything is possible when you leave your vehicle for such a long period...
Bobcat and little cat will be stopping by on our way to a thingy in West Chester.
You should know as well as anyone else, that's just what food and beer go for in New England. Particularly in a tourist area.
Congrats! Mine too but I'm still going ;)
Gracias :-)
I don't have my handbook handy, can someone tell me the mileage from Gorham to Andover. Thanks. :)
Since there are two of you, you can avoid using a shuttle by parking one car at each end of the section you plan on hiking. By car it's about an hours drive from Harpers Ferry to Pen Mar.
Just an update- since I've received a number of requests I just want to mention that I am available for shuttles. If you're heading to Journey's End the best places for me to pick you up are...
"...which also disintegrates condoms"
Bobcat comes with 4 pies (2 pumpkin, 1 peanut butter and 1 apple), NOT enough for hungry hikers...
SNP or even harpers ferry to pen mar park
8-12 depends on terrain and time of year. If it's "flat" and the weather is nice I'm more likely to put in a 12 hour day but if there's a lot of ups and downs, then why put myself through that for...
Your local taylor/ seamstress should be able to replace the zipper. My first choice would be the gear manufacturer but in your case that is not an option.
Strawberry cheescake pudding is one of my favs
And all other hikers who love bacon on the trail... Americas best bacon.
That being said, what is your favorite trail food?
