Hey, new member here.
I've been backpacking numerous times, but I've never been the guy to plan it. Always someone else's idea and I go with them on their itenirary.
Anyhow, I'm planning a trip with my buddy to go December 27-29, and it's proving EXTREMELY more difficult than I imagined. I know my start and end point and such, but other questions arose. Here's some of them, and help would be appreciated:
-How do I get to the trailheads? (one's at PenMar park, so I'm gonna park there...calling them tommorow to check on that kinda thing with them)
-Since it's only me and my buddy, I assumed the best way to do the drop off/pick up would be to leave his car at the place we're ending at (Ed Garvey Shelter) and mine where we start, but how do I verify that we'll be able to park where we need to?
-I got the idea for this hike from a website a backpacker set-up, but what's a good place for other ideas on good 3-5 day trips? Specifically parts of the AT in Va/WV/Md/Pa/etc. the states around Maryland
thanks in advance, love the site!
oh, and if this is in the wrong section, my appologies, feel free to move it, I couldn't quite figure out where to post it
