I'll be hiking southbound through the Mahoosucs in about three weeks. I'm hiking solo and plan to park my car in the parking lot at the base of Old Speck. I'm trying to complete a hike I couldn't finish last year after sustaining a knee injury on Mt. Success. Anyway, I will be descending to Success Pond Road via the Success trail or the Carlo Col trail. I expect it will be around noon/early afternoon on Saturday or Sunday that I would be at the trailhead. What are my chances of hitching a ride back to Grafton Notch? Is there much traffic on the road after labor day? Is one trailhead better than the other in terms of getting picked up? Any better ideas for getting back to my car without hiring a shuttle? I truely appreciate the help from folks with more experience in the area. I just discovered this website a few weeks ago and have learned a lot from the posts. Again, thanks in advance for any advice or information.
