[pct-l] Ride from Onyx to W.P.

[Bob Bankhead]

There is no public transportation from Onyx east to Walker Pass; only west-bound. Your only option is to hitchhike. Don't even think of trying to walk that hot, exposed blacktop road!

The CREST buses run south from Statham Hall in Lone Pine at 10:25 am (the bus starts in Bishop) to Ridgecrest City Hall at 11:45 am on Mon, Wed, and Fridays only. 

There is a new taxi service in Ridgecrest, but you'd have to call (760-793-7374) to see if they'd take you all the way to Walker Pass ($$$ ?). To Kennedy Meadows, maybe; but WP.......? Please post their response (yes or no, fares) to this list for informational purposes.
