    Question Georgia resupply options?

    Setting up to section Amicalola to Fontana in early October, having some trouble finding a resupply point near Winding Stair Gap ... advice? Would like to avoid hitching to and from Franklin, best I have been able to find so far.

    you can take a shuttle from Winding Stair Gap into Franklin NC for like $5. I can't find the schedule but you could probably google it.

    I would like to find anything for $5 in this area! Will keep looking -- thanks for the encouragement. One of the taxi services, maybe?

    10-k from Erwin told me one time when we crossed paths in the woods that the first several hundred miles of the AT requires zero planning bc a resupply can easily be found every 3 days....I agree
