A curious question has arised after my current arrangement with a shuttle provider, For section hikers, how far in advance do you make arrangements for a shuttle when you have planned out your section hike and know when your going? For shuttle providers, how far in advance do you like to have a section-hiker make plans with you for shuttling? I'm just trying to get a frame of reference for future planning. I always try to line a shuttle provider up about 30 days out of from my section hike. Understanding that if anything changes on my end in that time about the hike the shuttle provider won't be left hanging, ie: they get a phone call. I call again about a week out to comfirm that things are still a go and firm up any other information, this seems acceptable, doesn't it?
