Ok, I will make them up. I will probably make a 6 per page job and print on some sturdy card stock. If I do 10 pages, that will be 60 cards.. maybe I'll do more. I can easily do this at work with access to one of those big paper cutters and printers that can handle thicker stock paper.

You might not need to do that many because we only need to identify the cars that have cars parked in. The first row of cars won't need identified. I don't remember if cars were parked 2 or 3 deep last year. It is of course, up to you! Donna

It really won't be any more work. It's no problemo.

Great! Thank you for offering to do this. If you have any left over...you are ahead for next year!

I am doing a Post hike Northbound from Pine Grove to the Boiling Springs Area. I will be parking my wheels somewhere around Boiling springs.
Is there anyone familier with the Boiling Springs area that can advise me a good spot to park my ride on Friday the 25th? I will be ending my hike on Tuesday afternoon the 29th in the boiling springs area. So my wheels will be there for about 5 days.
The iron works ? The Scott trail center? Somewhere around the childrens lake?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have never been in Boiling Springs.

You need a permit for overnight parking. My AT guide says to contact the local AT office (I think it is in Boiling Springs) to arrange for overnight parking. The number listed was 717-258-5771
G...Hawk just did this for our pre-hike and it sounded like they were very nice on the phone, said if she couldn't pick up the permit during office hours they would leave one for her somewhere....I think she spoke with Kelly.

Thanks, that's good info.

MML,

I spoke with Kelly, at that number.
If I was going to get there after or before office hours there is a box that parking permits are left in.

You and I could do the shuttle together. I will be parked at Boiling Springs.
I am unsure when I will be getting to PGFSP off the trail on Friday.

Otherwise, expect Doogie will shuttle me to pick up my van.
