"Colors" found a passion for assisting hikers in 2020 after meeting a couple from Denmark who lost all hope on the trail due to the shutdowns/air travel restrictions from Covid. After taking them in and doing countless section hikes, an unbreakable friendship was formed. Thus, Blue Ridge Shuttle and Resupply was formed in order to provide knowledge and services to other AT hikers. Capacity: 4 pass
engers
Included:
- Cold drinks, food, hygiene products (for clean up), a 3,000-watt-hour power bank to juice up all of your electronics, XM Radio/Apple Music, a climate-controlled cab, and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to your first time visiting Asheville. The truck also has a custom cap called the “Moonlander”. This provides a safe haven for all your gear without sacrificing comfort inside the truck cab. Donations:
- Donations are based on drive time and distance. This means that after fuel, food, and drinks are covered, the rest is put aside for future trail magic.
- 3 weeks are taken off late in the season to do trail magic in NH and VT, so there’s a good chance you will cross paths again. Pickup Locations:
