I tried to search this, but words "North," "South" and "Lake" are too common.
A friend and I will arrive Sunday 2-3 pm at South Lake and need a ride to North Lake.
Do you think we should arrange a shuttle in advance? Or hitch it?
Thanks!

I would hitch it Big Man just offer them a few bucks for gas.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Thanks, Maverick.
Would you drop the packs up at North Lake in advance?

Leave the pack and your friend at North Lake, easier for one person to get a ride.
Would also make a sign with "North Lake" on it.

Always seemed easier for a one to hitchhike with a backpack - (shows you are a real backpacker and IMHO a necessary prop)maverick wrote:Leave the pack and your friend at North Lake, easier for one person to get a ride.

and always a sign saying where you are going...
IE, Spelling $outh lake with a dollar sign ($= S) helps too.

Good one Markskor though the $ sign won't work too great for the N in North Lake.
