I am in the start of planning(Dreaming) phase for a hike from Rutland Vt to Mass Line. I think I can do it at my slow speed in 9 days. I would rather not carry 9 days of food. In looking at the map how hard is the hitch in to Manchester center, near the Bromley trailhead? Or is there cell service there so I can arrange for a shuttle. Or Should I just suck it up and start with 9 days of food and enjoy the lighter pack towards the end of the trip. Walking faster so it is shorter is not a real option.
Thanks
