Great info and thank you! Do you know if country view will let us leave our car there and/or shuttle us to the trailhead at swift run gap?
Deer hunter, I completely understand if you can't shuttle us... Do you know of anyone else in the area willing to shuttle? We would compensate them of course!
Pretty sure the owner would let you park there. He was holding mail drops for some southbounders when I was there. I doubt he would shuttle. He is on oxygen all the time but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=12730337&stx=country+view+motel&csz=Elkton+VA
As far as a shuttle, Blue Dog Art Cafe (in Buena Vista) was doing some shuttles back in the summer but there may have been a stipulation that you stay there. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Dog-Art/165512310131359
