In this episode I was joined by a special guest who I met inport Clinton, Pennsylvania right out in front of the town Post Office. She was dropping off another hiker and I asked her if she could shuttle me to the next town over Hamburg, PA, which was about 2 miles away. I had been craving Chinesefood, so she recommended the JA Buffet. It ended up being one of the best Chinese buffet restaurants I’ve ever eaten at, and I sat there and gorged myself for 2 hours. Fortunately, I took one of her cards and was able to text her the nextmorning for a shuttle back to the trail.  I did a bit of shuttling after I finished my 2024 thru-hike last fall, so I was very interested to sit down with Pip and gain some insights from her about her business. We discuss how she got started shuttling, what brings her joy in doing it, what some of the challenges of running a hiker shuttle are, and what advice she would give for someone who wants to start their own hiker shuttling service. We welcome to the channel Alicia (aka Pip on the trail), the owner and operator of Pip's Shuttle service.#appalachiantrail #at2024 #at2025 #appalachiantrail2025 #backpacking #atnobo2024 #atnobo2025 #thruhiking #atnobo @FarOutguides #hike #hiking @senchidesigns #originalmaine @TheTrek #ThruHiker #ATClassof2024 #ATClassof2025 #baxterstatepark #katahdin #mtwashington #senchidesigns @HyperliteMountainGear #100milewilderness #sloggyhikes #hikersessions #pipspashuttles #hikershuttle #shuttle #hikershuttleservice
