New Route: Loop?

After looking at park & ride options, I'm considering doing a loop (walk south, turn around, walk north back to car) instead of doing a straight shot south and getting a ride back to the car.

A few links...

• Getting to the AT (from the National Park Service)
• AT Parking (from David & Cyndi Rohland's website)
• AT Parking, Shuttles, & Transportation (from Appalachian Trail Conservancy) 
• AT Parking Guide (from SectionHiker)

I've also bought more gear; check out the new Gear tab!
