Front royal to harpers in october

#1

i’m thinking of doing a section from front royal area to harpers ferry october 20th. would be from thursday afternoon to sunday morning…a late start on thrusday with an early finish on sunday/ how long to get to both places from washington (where i will be dropping off the wife) and can someone suggest a good way to get back to front royal to pick up the car (or vice versa-a good way to get to front royal after dropping off the car in harpers ferry) i want to end up at harpers as the stopping point…as a newbie, i’d appreciate any advice and help from sectioners (or thruhikers!)

I’ve used ride services successfully for sectioning. See ATC web site for list of providers in the FR/HF area.

I section-hiked this same section in June. We parked at the visitor’s center in Harpers Ferry and got a shuttle to Front Royal. We used Mike from Terrapin Station Hostel - cost was $65. There was a least one other person on the shuttle list who also was willing to do it (perhaps Skipper?). Once you get back to HF, you can catch a bus back to the visitor’s center.
