I can find a lot of good info on how to get from Atlanta airport to Springer Mtn., but what are some suggestions on how to get home (Texas) after reaching Katahdin ?

There is good information given in Wingfoot’s handbook and probably in the ALDHA Companion. If you are hiking the AT, then you will want to have one of these publications.
Real simple: Hitch to Millinocket from Baxter State Park. Taxi or hitch to Medway. Get on the dog to Bangor, and change for Boston. It’s a comfortable express bus. In Boston, then either train, bus, or air to Texas.

don’t worry about a thing cause every little thing gonna be alright… By the time you hit Katahdin you will find a way home… you will meet someone… the path will present itself, relax…
Best advice to people planning on thru hiking… stop worrying, it all works out in the end. Take your daily mileage sheet and burn it.

with Aswah. I (and at least several other people who summitted Katahdin on the same day) didn’t give much, if any, thought to how we were getting home until two days before we finished the trail. I think that, if anything, getting from Baxter State Park to Millenocket is the toughest part, but I didn’t find it at problem at all and didn’t hear of if being an issue for anyone else. In fact, I had a few choices for rides to Millenocket. And once you’re in town,you can get anywhere, even if it takes you a few changes in transportation. Personally, I just figured that that was part of the adventure.

Get to Portland and catch a flight. But what the hell, by then youll be such a free spirit you might not want to go to Texas
