    Chances of getting ride back to Springer Mt?

    My brother and I's hike has somewhat fallen apart as far as our friends joining us goes...so we are thinking of driving up there and hiking Springer Mountain to Tesnattee Gap and then hitch hiking back to Springer Mountain.

    What do you think the chances of this are? We would have a one day buffer to allow for unexpected circumstances.

    You should leave your vehicle at the end of your hike and get a shuttle/ride to the beginning. Overall, it's less stress walking toward your vehicle.

    Where might I find said shuttle? Are there common place around for this?
