Specifically I am wondering about the best way to shuttle to/from my hike.
I *hope* to be able to leave my car near to Knoxville TN and then making my way down to Springer. Then I would walk to Pisgah and try to find some way back to Knoxville.
Would it make more sense to try to leave my car and travel to another location? I can do this hike in either direction..
Does anyone have experience shuttling either of these routes and can give recommendations? Bonus for knowledge of where to leave one's vehicle for ~7 weeks.
Thanks!
