Hi there, after completing the AT last year, i'll be flying back over in March for another hike, so looking for info on shuttlers and hostels.

does anyone know any shuttlers from (Pinhoti) southern terminus to Sylacauga to be able to get greyhound to Birmingham and known Hostels or cheap places to stay for the night (I did find a hostel but looks to be closed down)

from Birmingham taking greyhound to Knoxville, again any hostels or shuttlers from Knoxville to southern terminus of the Sheltowee.

or if I decide to go North, then carry onto the BMT any shuttler from the north terminus of the BMT (Standing Bear hostel) to Knoxville?

have thought about hitching, would that be do able in them areas? and I've just download the couchsurfing app.

thanks for any and all info
