The takeout we've always used, a public pull-in/picnic area a little south of Huntington, no longer works. Signs say they'll tow you except for live parking, and from what we heard on the April 2024 trip, it's true. We sneaked a car behind some bushes on a grass drive to St. Thomas Cemetery, but that could be dicey. Nearby Gateway Farm & Pet was closed and blocked Sunday morning. The closest real parking place is in Huntington, a good half mile plus away -- and unfortunately an unpleasant and not too safe hike beside a fast road. We winged it, but future leaders should look for a better solution. Sorry we didn't find one!
