I am thinking of doing a small section from Keys Gap WV to Wolfsville MD in early November. I was wondering what the low down was for this section. Elevation change, weather, trail conditions, shuttles, etc. Thanks for any input you have.

It will be a lovely section in November, albeit without tremendous views. You'll pass through Harper's Ferry on your way. For specific details regarding elevation change (minimal, a decent climb up Weverton Cliffs northbound is about it), weather (typically 40s-50s daytime temps and 30s to 40s nighttime), trail condition (PATC country here - well maintained) and the rest, consider picking up AWOL or SLY's AT guides. They're not very expensive and have everything you need for the whole trail for about the same price as one set of maps/guides for that section which don't typically include shuttles/services information, at least not to that extent.
