Pinhoti Shuttle Service for Georgia Sections

[vapor]

I know BlisterBob is now the preferred shuttle service for Alabama sections, which I will very likely use for sections 1-3 when they are completed, but I am curious is there any shuttle services available for the Georgia sections? I am possibly looking for shuttle between sections 20-25. I checked pinhoti trail alliance & georgia pinhoti alliance which doesn't seem to get much traffic anymore & ran a few searches on this site. Am I perhaps overlooking the obvious or is there really no such service for Georgia?

Vapor;
I met this gentleman while scouting the Georgia north terminus of the Pinhoti.
His connection is mainly with the Benton MacKaye, but he seemed have a lot of
info about that area and could likely put you in touch with someone to help you.

Good luck,

Contacted Survivor Dave & he informed me that he focused on AT & Benton Mackaye. I am hoping to do some Benton Mackaye next year so this might come in handy. Thanks!

Sadly, it was more than his singing.  More like his entire personality...
