    Bluff Mountain Outfitters can arrange a shuttle.

    Just be sure to triple check that they understand where to pick you up. My last shuttle with Bluff Mountain I only double checked where I was to be picked up and they didn't show up. I called after waiting 15 minutes past the arranged time and they were waiting for me at my destination. Weren't all that concerned about it either. YMMV.

    That is interesting. Dyslexic shuttles? Thanks. Noted.

    This is a handy web page to bookmark for anyone who ever needs AT shuttles:

    http://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs...6.pdf?sfvrsn=0

    Pages 4 to 6 have your area. I had gook luck with Ron McGaha of Highlands Shuttle Service, based out of Newport TN, when I needed a shuttle from Hot Springs to Winding Stair Gap in 2015. I also had a very good experience with Tom Bradford (WB's "10K") shuttling from Hot Springs to Damascus in 2013, but he is based out of Erwin.

    I have had similar experiences with Bluff, nice guys but the staff is majority college kid age range with maybe 1 too many hits off the Ol' peace pipe. I only double checked once, but I'm glad I did because they had it backwards. I also however have called them on the fly when hitching wasn't working and he came and got me asap good people
