[at-l] Hiking the AT using a car

[Jan Lite]

Curtis,

If this has to be done with two vehicles, perhaps a scooter or a cheap motor
cycle could be pulled into play.

Also:

Didn't ATC News publish a couple's car-hiking itinerary, complete with road
crossings they utilized?
Anyone? About two or three years ago?

Could someone post this to AT-L, my posts aren't getting through and I don't
think Ryan is around. I still get Digests though. Is that Ryan's correct
address above?

 one
driver for each vehicle you will be using, plus someone with a vehicle  to
drive whoever drove your second vehicle to the hike-back-to-point and  left
it there.  Generally, folk I have know to do this routine aren't  solo, and
there is no need for the third vehicle.

Springer. One vehicle was a small  pickup and he had a stiff hitch for it.
