...leanto or hostel. HELP!!!? I plan on driving and hiking from hopefully, now, to tomorrow evening. The hike would have to be round trip...or end in a town I can take a bus back to my car. Any suggestions helpful.
 
I don't know from what direction you're coming from but if you can get your hands on a copy of the 2008 AT Data book from either local backpacking store or EMS the book will list every shelter ,water source ,road crossin , nearest town.....an the entire AT
I can give you a link for every shelter on AT But unless you know where to find the Trail it won't do you much good
Killinton VT may not be a bad destination
Churchill Scott Shelter is 2 mi south [2 close to town ]
Govenor Clement Shelter is 10.6 South
Stony Brook Shelter is about 10 mi North
FYI bus travel in VT is basically impossible
So you may have to thumb it When get the data book look for hikes that take you from roads to roads and tne dropoff your car at the end of your trip and thunb back to the trailhead
You may also want to consider this hike in NH
Start where the crosses Rt 25 at Glen Cliff NH
117.1mi from ME /NH line
Head North
Camp at Beaver BrookShelter
109.2 mi from ME/NH
You're gonna have to go over Mt Moossilauke(4,802' ) to get there
End at Rt 3 Franconia Notch
91.3 mi from ME /NH
or you can bail-out on Rt 112 in Kinsmans Notch NH
107.6 mi from ME/NH
Oh Yeah Here's that AT shelter link
