[pct-l] Rejoining PCT at Interstate 15 or Wrightwood

[JOSEPH LAFLAMME]

 I want to thank everyone for their input and information with regard to my rejoining the PCT at Interstate 15 or Wrightwood.  It was all very informative and helpful.  Originally planned on flying to San Diego (cheaper air fare than LAX), but have opted to fly to Ontario Airport (much closer and less driving).  Will then pickup a rental car (have to stop at REI to get items that cannot take on plane) and drive to either Victorville or Hesperia, drop the car off and then take the Victor Valley Transit buses to Wrightwood.  Spend night in Wrightwood and hitch a ride up to the trailhead on Highway 2 in the morning.
 
Any suggestions on places to stay in Wrightwood?
 
Thanks again.
 
Joe
