Hi I am going to be backpacking the 100 mile wilderness from Sept 21 to Oct 1 and I am thinking about leaving my car in Monson at Shaw's, it seems safe. Are there anyways to get back to monson? Other than paying $100 to Shaw's. I am going solo and it sure seems expensive. What do you think my chances are of hitchhiking back?

A Turtle might beat you there!
Seriously, 100 bucks isn't unreasonable.
Keep in mind that if you choose to hitchike, you'll be traveling/walking through remote and sparsely populated and unpopulated areas. Allow lots of extra time just in case.

I now $100 isn't unreasonable for the distance but my trip has changed from a group where The money wasn't a problem to a solo.

I figured hitchhiking would be risky.

Hey there Turtlehiker....Buddy will definately do it as cheaply as possible. If he is busy, the Pie Lady is still doing shuttles and may do better than $100.00.

Buddy's wife, Jill, also offers shuttles.
