Anybody going from DC to the Shoe on such dates, and have space to take someone (me)?? I'm dying to go but don't have a car and can't rent one either cuz I don't know how to drive (shame on me i know) .. I can pay for gas of course and might even get a free lift ticket (because i have friends working there) if there is someone that can take me to the mountain and then back to dc!!

Fingers crossed!!! 

I assume you are staying with friends
