My fiance and I are trying to find a ride down to the Atlanta transit station with other hikers on or around March 20, 2011, from anywhere within 3 hours of Washington, DC, to start a thru-hike. We would need room for the two of us (we don't take up much space!) and our rather large backpacks (we are not ultra-lighters.) We are a couple in our early 50's, extremely congenial and obliging, and could pay all your gas money. Thanks!
