The much awaited Appalachian Trail shuttle listing has been done and revised.
In 2018 the ATC stopped providing a shuttle provider listing on their web site. They contacted WhiteBlaze, letting me know that they would no longer be providing a shuttle listing. They asked me if I would continue providing a shuttle provider listing and I gladly accepted.
For almost a year now WhiteBlaze has been going through the old listing and contacting everyone they could. Those that could not be contacted were removed from the listing.
I also changed the format of the listing. I tried to come up with an easier way to present the listing. I hope this helps everyone.
If you would like to be added to the shuttle provider listing please contact us at the link at the top of the listing.

I am taking presales orders for the 2020 edition of WhiteBlaze Pages. A Complete Appalachian Trail guidebook.
Many new features this year. The book continually expands each year on the information it provides.

New to the book this year:

Amicalola Falls State Park information, along with complete data on the Approach Trail, including a trail profile, elevations and GPS coordinates, facts that are not found in other guidebooks.
Over 2,000 GPS coordinates.
Appalachian Trail Shuttle Providers listing and corresponding map.
Interactive town maps available on Google.
Index in the back of the book listing all AT shelters, trail towns, some hostels and historic places.
Index in back of book listing all town maps in the book.
Many more features, but unable to list all of them here.

How many section hikers and thru-hikers carry a GPS when you hike the Appalachian Trail and plot locations during your hike?
Lets hear about it after you vote.

Please go here to vote and discuss it, https://whiteblaze.net/forum/showthr...-s-using-a-GPS.
