Anyone?
Anyone want to pick up a few extra bucks next Saturday afternoon/evening shuttling a buddy and I from Baxter State Park down to Monson? PM me and name a price if you can help – gas is expensive and it’s a lot of driving so be fair to yourself I’m not afraid to pay if you can be reliable. Non serial killers preferred but all offers will be considered.

you might try the forums at alpinezone.com and http://appalachia.outdoors.org/bbs/ (as well as the the northeast board at backpacker.com)

hey thanks will do. I'll probably end up calling a cab company but I figured if there was someone here who wanted/needed the money I'd rather try to throw it their way first.

Before you call a cab, try the hostels in Monson. Shaws does a lot of shuttles. I got a shuttle from the Pie Lady years ago (from Monson to Stratton) but I hear she is out of business.

The current hostel listings should be available on whiteblaze.net
