them get a good start.  I can meet hikers at the airport, Amtrak and bus
stations, and help with all kinds of Trailhead logistics.  Grocery store and
post office runs are pretty routine. Sometimes we get out to REI or A-16. 
Hikers usually spend a night or two at my house, and then we make a Trailhead
run, often at 4:00am for a firstlight start.  I started in 1999 hosting 15
hikers in 9 groups.  Last year it was 31 hikers in 15 groups. Usually the
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the ADZPCTKO we have a vanfull of 6 hikers
going out to the monument to start at firstlight.  I am a school teacher, so
the earliest I can meet you is 3:00pm on school days.  I am one of the
unofficial organizers of ADZPCTKO, so I will be at Lake Morena that Saturday
and Sunday.

mid-Apr and mid-May, send me an email with your arrival information and I will
make every effort to accomodate everybody.  I have a supply of white gas and
alcohol, but if you need a particular fuel cannister, please let me know in
your initial message. (I will not tell anybody you are using a store-bought
stove.)  Please include your airline and flight numbers so I can coordinate
pickups at the airport.  You are welcome to ship advance packages to me. Once
initial contact is made by email, I will keep everybody informed by regular
email updates, which do not go to the list. I have always been happy to host
hikers without conditions, but due to a health consideration of a family
member, I must regrettably host only nonsmokers.

www.sdcommute.com and click on the online trip planner. From this resource you
can determine that if you arrive after about 2:00pm, you cannot get to Campo
that day on public transportation.
