My oldest son and I are section hiking the AT with Indiana friends the end of March. When we started in 2019, my youngest son went with us but pulled off the trail in Suches. A local drove us from Wolf Pen Gap Store to Mountain Crossings, then I called Mama's Taxi to shuttle him to a Greyhound terminal to go home.
In the process, I missed that section of the trail, from Suches to Mountain Crossings. Oldest son decided to join me in "making up" that section a few days before joining up with the rest of our friends to continue north further up the trail. Missing Blood Mountain was a bummer, but I wanted to get my boy home safe and sound.
Now I'm looking into accommodations in Suches for a place to stay Saturday, March 20th and someone to shuttle us to Mountain Crossings so we can slackpack back to Suches Sunday the 21st. Above the Clouds Hostel and every AirBNB I've looked at in Suches are full.
Anyone wanting to make the going rate for these services and have room and time available to help me complete my missed section?
Or you can flame me for waiting too long to make my reservations...
Either/or...
Jim
