Some distance hiking and adventure trails have camping/ lodging and resupply amenity gaps. They can be found by analyzing the tendencies of average thru hikers and breaking down their daily mileages by terrain. This can also be done for audiences who multi-day hike at lesser daily rates as the trail's market and what's practical dictates. Uber and Lyft are not the best candidates because they don't permit 4x4 vehicles for year round, winter conditions, or bad roads.
What I think is that we should have our own fee based shuttle service and app. And those of us who sign up as drivers, we don't need a 4x4 drive vehicle. The areas one could reach would just be unavailable. But those of us with larger autos could advertise that they have bike carriers, ATV and horse trailers for instance.
This is the adventure and volunteerism log for Matthew Dexter Edmonds, aka "Treeman." Aside from Blogger comments, contact information is listed on Google+. And all places mentioned in this log are in the State of Ohio in United States of America unless otherwise stated. "The Wayne" = the Wayne NF.
Also, the motorhome mentioned is a 25ft, 1988 Itasca Sundancer, Model IF424RC with a Ford Econoline cutaway unless otherwise stated. It runs a 351 Windsor EFI V8 engine.
