[pct-l] Rides back to the Kickoff party (for those starting early)

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

The ADZ "ride-back" program is operated thru the ADZ website (when updated in 
the next couple weeks) and has a link for "rides wanted" and "rides offered" 
and has worked well in the past to hook up those who wish to start early and 
still attend the kickoff.  

Also, putting a note of request just before you leave to the PCT-L list often 
nets results.  Many people coming to the kickoff come from points north and 
can stop at the various trail heads to pick up hikers on the way as the head 
south to Lake Morena.  

The ADZPCTKO is working out to be another great event.  We are re-focusing 
the presentations to be solely related to the interest of our guests; the 
aspiring thru- and significant section hikers.  The pavillion will have its windows 
blacked out so that presentations on the water and snow conditions, the flora 
and fauna of the PCT, the geology of the PCT and first aid, etc. talks can be 
shown during the day and repeated on Friday and Saturday, taking the pressure 
off of hikers who wish to hike from the border on Friday and don't want to 
miss an appropriate educational talk.  

The USFS, the Trail Gorillas, many class reunions, etc. will be represented.  

Stay tuned for more exciting news as the event grows closer.

We are considering an early start (Apr 20th) with low mileage days to
ease our bodies into hiking.  We also would like to attend the
kickoff.  It's been mentioned that some people are getting rides back
to the kickoff.  We would like to do the same but don't know how to
hook up the ride.

Are there trail angels which provide this service?  What about public
transportation (bus)?

Also we are not quite sure were the best places to get a ride back may
be I have heard Pioneer Mail trailhead mentioned before.. are there
others?  Would Warner springs be a possibility?

thanks,

Aaron
