I'll be doing a section hike of southern Pennsylvania to Harpers Ferry (75 miles or so) in early May. Can anyone give me any info on this hike including highlights, resupply points and possible shuttles from Harpers Ferry? Thank you for any help.
I sectioned that area in 2010 and wrote up my hike on TrailJournals:

As for shuttles, shuttling from Harpers to 75 miles north is fairly expensive. Are you driving and parking at Harpers Ferry. If not, you might consider hiking from Carlisle, PA south to Harpers Ferry.
Teahorse Hostel runs a shuttle service.

Also there is a new shuttle bus that originates from HI-Harpers Ferry Hosteland runs north to the PA border and south to Thornton Gap, Luray. That covers over 75 miles of trail.
