FWIW, I try to figure out my total driving time and charge $20/hr my time rounded up to the nearest half an hour.
I wonder what sort of mindset let this guy go free.
The Standing Indian Loop is perfect. Park at the backcountry kiosk. Hike up the Kimsey Creek trail to Deep Gap. Hike north on the trail to Glassmine Gap and take the Longbranch Trail back to your...
true dat. I charge double if someone insists on being picked up at the airport.
I also shuttle if you'd care to call me. Gene Roll 423-653-7417
I believe Sly bowed out last year. Vogel was chosen primarily for financial reasons.

You know your capabilities, but I'd say that's pretty ambitious.
pretty harmless so far. it will be interesting to see how well they clean up after themselves.

I shuttles a hiker to Springer last week and he called me today with a trail report. He said the trail was fairly well cleared from Springer to Hog Pen. He reported numerous downed trees from Hog Pen...
another option. shuttle to Amicalola and then hike to the Len Foote Hike Inn. connector trail from there takes you to Springer.
What LW said. Check with the ATC or FB regarding shuttles.
was that your round trip time then?
How many hours total?
The recent events in Houston and LA. are impacting the price and availability of gasoline. Don't be too shocked if that effects the cost and availability of shuttles.
