I plan on doing a day hike starting at High Point State Park HQ and going north. Does anyone know if I could get picked up on Liberty Corners Road at mile marker 1352.6 or Louemma Lane at 1355.2? Thanks

I did that exact same hike last January. I used Mosey for a shuttle. She is awesome and should be in the shuttle list. Leave your car at the hiker lot which is 0.2 from the High Point visitor center. There is a short blue blaze trail between the parking and the AT. She could drop you off either location. I chose Liberty Corners road because it was winter and the days were short. You will see lots of swans.
I'm not asking about shuttles, I'm asking if a car pick up is possible at those two spots...meaning I can get picked up without me or the driver getting killed.
I don't see why not. Liberty Corners Road has no parking, but I think you could pull to the shoulder for a quick drop off. Check google maps. It doesn't seem like a super busy road, but people go fast on country roads. Also check here: http://rohland.homedns.org:8008/at/at_menu.aspx
I don't think that Liberty Corners is a good place for a car to wait for a pickup.
There's a pull off gravel parking area at Glenwood Rd. There's actually a car parked there in the Google Street view. Street view shows a little bit of a spot to stop at Liberty Corners.
