Looking for a bit of help with something.

I want to go backpacking, and I’ve decided on doing the C&O Canal Trail from MPs 60 to 0. Yeah, I know, a creampuff hike… 😉

What I’m looking for is someone to give me a lift from the Avis car rental in Frederick to the closest access point to where I want to start, and also to maybe help me out if I get in trouble such as killer blisters or zombie attack the first day or two. I figure once I’m close to DC, I’m on my own.

Help a fellow Doper out?

Yeah, me, I live just south of the area but I grew up in the area and such. Let me know what you want and when and I’ll do my best to help you out. I might be willing to help pick you up from the airport and such so you don’t have to rent a car.

It’s about an hour to an hour and a half away for me.

I can be available if you need help.

No airport, I live in St. Mary’s County. I’m planning on rentals to get me in and out so I don’t have to worry about parking my own car somewhere.

You could still take a plane from St. Mary’s to Frederick!
