I will be completing a section hike northbound in Maine covering the last 55-60 miles, finishing at Katahdin. This will be my first time on the AT and I'm looking for advice on where to put in or be shuttled to in order to make it to Antler's campsite by dark on September 4th. I'll be driving from Syracuse early that morning and am looking for a logical place to keep my car for about 7 days (I'll have a ride back to that location from Baxter State park).
Any additional wisdom for a 24 year old fella doing his first solo trip and first backpacking trip in years would be appreciated.
