[pct-l] transport to Mojave from LA and from Kennedy Meadows



Much thanks. I plan to arrive in California June 9 or 10 and leave Kennedy
Meadows June 20. I'm planning to hike with my boyfriend Nick Simon, who is a
thru-hiker. He's checking into some possibilities, too, so I'll hold off on
looking for rides 'til I hear from him again in a few days.

BTW, can someone tell me what appropriate etiquette is on this board?
Normally, if someone answered a question for me, I would send them a
thank-you e-mail, but i haven't for help I've been getting here b/c I think
it would just clog up the board. Am I right about that?

Thanks.

Miriam

In addition to the great information posted by Lon below on getting to your
destination, if your flight options (and costs) are better going through
LAX, here's another choice:  Metrolink www.metrolinktrains.com  You'd take a
shuttle from LAX to Union Station, and from there, you can take the
Metrolink Antelope Valley Line all the way to Lancaster, then hop on the
Kern County Transit referenced below.  Personnally, if the options allow, I
highly recommend flying into Burbank Airport, then taking the shuttle to the
Metrolink and hopping on the same line.

The in-and-out of Kennedy Meadows is trickier; I a not aware of any transit
that services KM.  I think the hikers usually hitch down into Ridgecrest to
link up to public transit. 

When are you planning your trip?  We may be able to help you (either
personally or with the help of hikers driving our vehicles).  Hope your
journey brings you by our way.

Tehachapi. Call Kern Regional Transit for details to
