[pct-l] How to get home.

[rickandurs at juno.com]

We took Amtrak from Vancouver to San Francisco where we switched trains to our final stop in Truckee. The total trip took about 36 hours. It was an awesome way to end our hike as it allowed us to kind of slowly slide home and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was fun to sit back and enjoy the countryside from a different persective and it was fun to cross the PCT several times (in Oregon)  via the rails rather than crossing the rails via foot. Not to mention it was not too expensive and easy to get a ticket.Ursula

Amtrak is nice because you can buy a ticket on short notice without paying a
premium like you would on an airline.  Vancouver to San Diego is $150.  You
can also get on the train at many places close to the trail in all three
states.  



Good Luck,

Tom

I'm curious to know how others have planned, succeeded, or failed in their
return home either during or after completing the thru hike. I live in
southern California and need to purchase my return transportation before I
began the hike. Being my first thru hike, I'm looking for something either
refundable or open ended dates. Advice and experience welcome.
