I’m in the final week before a month-long mostly off-trail adventure in the Sierra Nevada. A friend (female) and I (male) are starting at Kings Canyon’s Roads End (Copper Creek Trail). She’s finishing ten days later at Lodgepole VC (Sequoia NP). I’ll continue from there for twenty more days, over Whitney, north eventually into Yosemite.
Three questions:
1. I’m flying back to my doctoral program after the trip, so I have to bring non-backpacking items with me on the plane. Looking for a storage solution in Fresno. Ideas? It’s just a backpack full of non-backpacking stuff.
2. Any ideas of how to get to Roads End? We’re obviously especially interested in a ride. We could provide modest compensation, or pay for gas for example.
3. We’re also looking for a ride (primarily for my friend but I might come along, then head back to Sequoia to continue the trip) from Lodgepole VC to Visalia, or ideally Fresno. There appears to be a bus from Three Rivers (25M out) to Visalia, then transit to Fresno.
I’ve done lots of hitchhiking, but my friend is less comfortable with that. Uber is possible but very expensive. Ideas?
Apologies if you’ve read my similar post on HST. Posting here with a few different questions, since that one appears to have dead-ended.
