Blacksburg, VA - Appalachian Trail

#1

I’m looking for a ride or shuttle from downtown Blacksburg, VA to Trail Junction VA 42/VA 630 and the AT. The drive is about 16 miles. I will arrive in Blacksburg this Saturday, June 23rd around 8:00 AM.

I have contacted all the published shuttle drivers on the ATC list. Those shuttle drivers live away from Blacksburg and I would need to pay for their transportation from their place to Blacksburg than out to the trail junction. Prices started at $60 and went up, for me that is too much for a 16 mile ride.

Anyone know of a taxi service in Blacksburg?
How easy is it to hitch out of town?
