    Default Shuttles north of Damascus - late May to Early June

    Planning a section hike starting at Damascus going north leaving on 5/29.

    So - I'll be behind the large crowd leaving after trail days.

    Will be out about 10 days and plan to cover about 120 miles.

    I really need to know what the legitimate shuttle spots and resupply points are in the area.

    Is there a shuttle service that I can call to make some arrangements ahead of time?

    Any advice would be helpful.

    Here is the list of shuttlers that the ATC maintains:

    Here is a site that shows distances on the AT for shelters and major road crossings, which should help you with planning:

    Here is a thorough article Jack Tarlin wrote about resupply in your section. I glanced at it and most of the info should still be correct:

    It looks like it is exactly 120 trail miles from Damascus to Bland so I guess that is the section you are looking at.
