[at-l] shuttling plans for next year

[thornel at attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Amy asks for advice on shuttling to Amicalola and back from Fontana - 
living in DC.

I'd encourage a plan to come to Atlanta by either train or plane. There are 
several shuttles from Atlanta, including the Hiker Hostel near Woody Gap. 
They have a great deal this past year, and I anticipate a similar excellent 
service model in the future. 
<http://www.hikerhostel.com/>http://www.hikerhostel.com/ will get you more 
information. I suspect that the Hike Inn hostel near Fontana would be a 
good source for shuttle to an airport, bus or other resource.

Atlanta gives you much more experienced outfitters, hikers and easy 
transportation. You might find getting a shuttle from Fontana to Asheville 
an easier way to get back to DC, although Knoxville's airport isn't too far 
away. Airtran via Knoxville might be a cheaper airfare than anything in 
Asheville. If you are keen to take the train, you will need a shuttle down 
to Toccoa, Clemson, Greenville or Spartanburg.
