    Question Any CT - MA shuttle recommendations?

    I'm looking to do a section hike from NY/CT border to MA 41 this spring and need to find a reliable and hopefully inexpensive shuttle. I found a couple of names on the ATC website but would prefer to use someone based on a referral from WhiteBlaze users. Any recommendations?

    Thanks much.

    Silvia Cassano or Dave Ackerson will do you well.

    Great question. And thanks Cosmo for the answer. I have used Pawling Taxi in the past. Three times I believe. They were always there on time although I will say that sometimes I would hang up the phone wondering if they really understood my request :-)

    I'm planning on pretty much the same hike the first week in May. I'm giving myself a week to go from MA 41 down to Pawling...about 12 mi/day. I had contacted an outfitter who quoted me about $90....if you're interested in hiking with me and sharing the costs, PM me and I'll tell you what I had in mind. I live in NYC.

    Hudson & Big Lu have Bearded Woods hostel in Sharon, CT. They are great. Check with them.

    Thanks all for the suggestions/recommendations! Looks like I have plenty of options. pbowell, I was planning to hike northbound in April but if the timing works out that I go in May I'll touch base with you.

    I will be driving up to Lee, MA on 4/25 and back on 4/28. If either of these dates match your itinerary, get in contact with me. I am leading hikes on AT from Blotz Road south of Dalton to MA 23 in Great Barrington during those four days. DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME! Respond by e-mail, please. [email protected]
