Anyone going to be hiking the CT/NY Section of trail in the next two weeks?
Looking for a partner or shuttle help.
Thanks
Depending on where and when, I may be able to help with a shuttle.

Thanks Tin Man for your reply. I plan on leaving my car on CT 55 in Gaylordsville CT and walking south for about 6 days, that would be Shuttle back to my car on Saturday 16 May. I figure about 75 miles.

Tin Man, Sunday 17th would also work.
Thanks
you might consider hiking to your car, rather than away. gives you more flexibility for your schedule

So you are saying that if I get a shuttle on Sunday the 10th of May to a point about 75 miles south and walk back it would be a better choice. I am fairly flexable.

that is what we always do - have the person shuttling meet us at the terminus point and then drive us to the start...then we hike to our car :)

Wystiria, sounds like a good paln if you can count on doing a given number of miles per day. I guess planning less in this case would be better.

If you come up a bit short and need to get back to your car hiking north I might be able to help and I know Tin Man is just down the road as well.
by meeting when you arrive by car, it is much easier to coordinate a time than waiting until you hike out. people who help shuttle aren't exactly sitting around waiting for your call. :)

hmm, mother's day could be rough, at least for me... too many mothers around here :D

Thanks Sasquatch, Tin Man for the advice/offers. I think I'm going to go with a third option.
