[pct-l] transportation from fresno to sequoia

[Staci Labuda]

My boyfriend and I are planning on hiking the PCT with our first stop being independence.  Basically we just need a ride from the airport to sequoia national park.  We are taking our flight from New York on May 12th at 7:50 am and arriving at 10:38 am in Fresno.  Ohh also I was wondering, this has nothing to do with the transportation, but, does anyone have advice on what to do to prevent knee pain?  I had surgery on my meniscus twice, I still run and its fine, it just gets sore now and then.  I have a feeling that with this long hike that I need to do a little extra for it.  Should I wear a knee brace?  Should I take certain vitamins?  My mom suggested MSM, but I wanted advice from real hikers :).

Thanks
