Hello -
Getting back out there next weekend and want to do either NY section 7 or 7 and 8 if there is truly no parking at the end of section 7 which is canopus hill rd. I checked the AT parking site on Rohland and it seems there's parking at the southern end of section 8 on Cross Rd between rt 9 and rt 403 .1 miles north of the trail and the Appalachian Market. I bet I could also ask if we could park at the market if necessary. And I saw someone say a doctors office let them park in their lot there for a few days. Does anyone know if parking is still allowed on Cross road?
We plan to camp at Dennytown group sites, making day one 8.7 miles if we have to start at the Appalachian market - doable for sure though a bit longer than our usual and we do want to push ourselves a bit more, so ok with that. Then will hike out the 3.7 to 301 in the morning to a car there. But does anyone know if there is a shuttle in the area that save us bringing two cars?
Lastly, anyone have a report on the water on that section? I know there's a water source at the campsite worst case. And BTW, do we have to pay for that campsite?
