 <Can, would, you recommend a section that would fit the bill?
---> Head to Shaw's get shuttled up north, hike south, meet Northbounders!
---> You might need to add a day, or two. For weather considerations, ect.

 <1) From the viewpoint of RandMcNally...

 <2)  I'm guessing that it will be difficult to find a service to shuttle...
---> See above :o)
 <3) I want to see meese (or is it simply "moose"?  mooses?)
---> It's Mooses. If the trail's full of moose chit, check the nearby pond.
---> Best times are morning, noon, or evening. 
---> Mooses eat three times a day. No, really!
---> Happy landings to you, too, Jonathan!
