Seeking input for an overnight on the AT.
2 hikers, fairly fit, reasonable outdoors experience.
Planning on starting evening of 8/15, somewhere (approx 7pm) near the MD/PA border, hiking north.(presumably leaving our car here?)
Wishing to spend the next day, 8/16, hiking at leisurely rate for the better part of the day.
We want to make it back to our car early evening, before sundown (see question 2)
I'm having a difficult time navigating all the various sites and maps out there.
Questions:
1. How do I predict how far to hike relative to campsites and water?
2. shuttle services to/from car? OR UBER?
3. Are we better served doing an out and back?
So grateful for your time in responding!
