I was hoping I could get some eyes to look at my schedule and any helpful advice for my arrival to Baxter State Park.
First, I would like to start the first weekend of July. With that in mind, I can leave Minnesota one day and climb Mount Katahdin the next. Is there an ideal day to start on the weekend? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? They are all options, but if climb on Friday, I leave on the 4th of July. Maybe travelling one day and hiking the next is not a good idea?
My schedule would be planned as followed:
DAY 1
-------
03:30 - Wake
06:00 - Arrive at Minneapolis airport
07:25 - Depart Minneapolis
11:10 - Arrive in Boston
13:35 - Depart Boston on Concord Coach Lines
18:30 - Arrive in Bangor
18:30 - Depart Bangor on Cyr Bus Line
19:40 - Arrive in Medway
19:40 - Depart Medway on Appalachian Trail Lodge shuttle
20:00 - Arrive in Millinocket
22:00 - Sleep at Appalachian Trail Lodge
DAY 2 - Times are have not been figured out yet, but I imagine it is all doable
