Shuttles/Parking: Near Springer to NOC?

[slbirdnerd]

I'm planning to hike from just north of Springer to possibly the NOC in June. I have some thoughts about shuttles and parking, but wonder what others have to advise. I can't use Hiker Hostel in GA because I plan on ending in NC between Franklin and the NOC (HH doesn't go to NC). Thoughts? Thanks!

Get John at the Hike Inn to shuttle you if you leave your vehicle at NOC. He's been doing it 20+ years, and will fill your head with info about the trail, water sources, cell reception, wild snacks, etc during the drive.

I've used one of Ron Haven's shuttlers out of Franklin for a shuttle from NOC back south towards Springer.

I used Bill's Wheels of Georgia. Great guy, inexpensive. Left my vehicle at the NOC without any issues. You could also try Jeff at The Hike Inn. Another great guy.
