    I will be hiking from Hiawassee, ga to Franklin, NC starting April 13. Would like to park my car in Franklin and shuttle to Hiawassee where I will hike north back to franklin. Can anyone suggest a place to park my car in franklin for about 6 days and a shuttle driver who would drive me from Franklin to Hiawassee? would appreciate any helpful advice! Thank you, Gigi

    Do you mean Ron Haven? If so, he sold the motels from what I've heard and is running a hostel and shuttle service - and probably can hook the OP up with parking as well. https://baltimorejacksplace.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/263478863849208/

    I haven't met Ron Haven yet, but Ron Brown also handles shuttles in the area https://www.facebook.com/Rons-Appala...4270272614034/ and would highly recommend based on my experience last summer. Assume both would have good parking recommendations.

    Try The Further Appalachian Shuttle in Blairsville, GA. He covers that area, works with you to get a place for your car, and gets great reviews from many who have used him.
