I know I posted my info somewhere but I don't see it in the shuttle listing. I will shuttle or pick-up anywhere in Maine. I can do re-supply mail drops or most any other service hikers may be looking for. I have two vans 10p & 15p so large groups such as scouts are not a problem. I live in Millinocket but my business is in Medway an easy walk from the bus station. I have several people that will drive for me so short notice for the most part is no problem. My e-mail for those that may have questions is mainequestadventures@gmail.com & my web site is www.mainequestadventures.com (http://www.mainequestadventures.com). If you prefer to get your info the old fashion way by phone use the second number listed on my web site (207)447-5011 (cell). The business phone is off for the winter.
