Friend and I are hiking form the NY-CT border to Andover, ME in June and are trying to find our way home afterwards.
We are planing on taking a greyhound to Portland so that we can fly back to Virginia.
Here is the question. Anybody aware of an affordable** transportation service (taxi, shuttle, friends of the AT) in Andover that could get us to a nearby town that has greyhound service?
** - I drink PBR so that gives you and idea of my budget!
Right thumb about rib high and a smile. The locals shouldn't be cooked on tourists in June. Offer to buy PBR and they'll probably drop you at the dog!

Not sure what he would charge but it couldn't hurt to inquire. Here's contact information for one of the hiker hostels I stayed at during my thru in 2003. As to speak with Paul ...

From what I been able to find, the closest Bus station is stilll 50 miles away. Will either of this places have a problem with providing a shuttle service that far (yes I'd intend to pay)

The closest bus station to Andover is in Gorham NH. If you can get a hitch down route 5 (not that hard as this is the main road out of town) to Rt 2, its an easy hitch west to Gorham. The bus stops at the Irving gas station early in the morning (7:30?) so you would need to get ride over the night before and stay at Hikers Paradise (closest to Irving gas station) or The Barn (the other end of Main street)
