Can anyone give me any feedback on experiences taking the Vermonter train into Waterbury VT and getting to the trail near Jonesville. The train does not get there until almost 8pm with no delays. It is a little late in the night for me to want to spend a night in town just to hit the trail early in the morning. I don't mind setting up in the dark but not sure about how successful that I would be at hitch hiking at that time of the night. I know there are a couple of people who shuttle in the area. Has anyone done this before and what worked best for you.
I am planning on getting up there around September 1st and headed south until around Killington where I will be getting a ride home.
