Due to some changes in my plans, mostly because I can't wait any longer to thru hike, I decided to SOBO starting June 30 or July 1st. I'm actually going to be coming off of a family vacation and will be flying to Maine from San Juan Puerto Rico on the 28th of June. The only flights I can find arive in Bangor, Maine at midnight on the 28th or early afternoon on the 29th. Then comes the adventure of getting to Baxter. From what I can tell, I'm going to have to take several different modes of transportation to get to where I'm heading. SO, I was wondering if anyone was going to be driving up to Baxter around that time (June 29th - 30th) that I could hitch a ride with. That would make things a lot easier.
And ...
If not, does anyone know about what time the shuttles (AT Lodge, Maine Quest Adventures, etc.) get to Baxter in the mornings? Is it early enough to climb Katahdin that same day?
I know you can't really plan your hike but I at least wanted to get the first couple of days, or at least how I'm getting started locked down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
