Thanks to everyone for all the good info....if I do get a ride from Concord, might be a good idea to spend the night there, and get an early start the next morning so I'll have enough time to get to...

Thanks Gambit, I'll give it a try...

One year, I mailed my pack UPS from Florida to Angel's Rest hostel in Pearisburg. No problems.
The last few years I have always checked my pack on the plane. No problems. Just make sure you strap...

I agree with C.
I'm hiking Winding Stair Gap to Hot Springs, then catching a flight north and hiking Crawford Notch to Katahdin to complete the trail that I started back in 2016.

Never thought of that....not a bad idea....thanks.
