Also as you head nobo from Rockfish gap there will be a current list of shuttlers and trail angels stapled to the back of the first tree as you go up the hill.
Hill? Rumor was SNP didn't allow hills all flat.Rumor was wrong.Somewhere south of the smokies I came across a shuttle number carved in a picnic table,called the guy turned out to be awesome.I'll be looking for the tree JJ.

Last year, I was able to hitch SoBo from Big Meadows to Waynesboro with two of my Tramily. The guy absolutely refused to take gas money. If you're comfortable, try thumbing it. Also, you may be able to call Dubose "Yellow Truck" Eggleston and he might be willing to get you from Big Meadows.

I THUMBED in 10 minutes from Rockfish, when re-entering the park, explain that the car you are in is only in the park to drop off a hiker, I have never had to pay
And where people have gotten the hint that SNP is any different then the rest of the trail is beside me. It is a NICE section of trail don't get me wrong, it is picked up of rocks on 90% of it, and well weed eated as well, but it has its hills just like every other stretch does. I wouldn't mind doing the park again though :)

The AT hiking through SNP is a good place to touch a 30 miler if you've never done it but don't be lulled to sleep entirely.
The parks blue blazes are all either reaching summits or descending to waterfalls and streams
More to the point of the thread I too have heard good things for " Strings" as a shuttler.
