MO: Tuscarora Trail, Sections 1 & 2 (27 mi)

Anyone up for a last-minute overnighter? I feel like starting a Tuscarora Trail section hike and never finishing it.

This is all of sections 1 & 2, from the junction with the AT near Darlington Shelter to Colonel Denning State Park in Pennsylvania. The plan is to meet up at Grosvenor Metro early on Saturday morning, drive up to Col Denning and drop a car or two, and then shuttle to the AT parking lot below Sterretts Gap and hike up to where the Tuscarora starts. The goal is about 15 miles on Saturday to hit the Charlie Irvin shelter for the night, which looks quite nice. 12 more miles on Sunday, reverse the shuttle, grab something to eat, yada yada yada.

My truck only seats 2 so I will need more drivers. Attendance may be limited based on vehicles.
