I was thinking of hitch hiking up MN Hwy 61 to the end of the Superior Hiking Trail for my thru-hike next month.
My mom says I shouldn't hitch hike.
My wife says I shouldn't hitch hike.
The police, national security, MNDOT, USDOT, and pretty much every other organization says I shouldn't hitch hike.

So, I'm looking for a ride from Duluth to the northern terminus of the Superior Hiking Trail on Otter Lake Road above Grand Marais, MN around Sept. 15. If you, or someone you know, will be heading from Duluth up the North Shore to Grand Marais and would be willing to go a bit further past Hovland, please contact me.
I'll drive to Duluth and leave my car with relatives there if I can arrange a ride to the trail end. I'd happily pay for gas and a bit more.
There are shuttle services that run the north shore, but they're awful expensive and it would be cool to cut out a round trip of gas if it works with someone's schedule.

Or, if you're going up the Gunflint Trail, that would work too. I'd just add the Border Route Trail to the start of the Superior Hiking Trail and take a few more days.
