Getting from LA to Tuolumne meadows. on 9/18.
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2017 4:41 pm
i pick up my permit on 9/18 and start from Lyell canyon.
My dilemma is how to get from Los Angeles to Tuolumne Meadows.
I had a friend who was supposed to drop me off on sunday to TM but got into a small accident yesterday and now i am left with trying to figure out how to get to TM on sunday (9/17).
i tried the below options but nothing seems to work out given the late season and abbreviated ESTA and YARTS schedule.
A)
Take Amtrack to Fresno on 9/17. and then take YARTS from fresno to Yosemite valley. BUT, yarts stops running from fresno on 9/15. So this option is out.
B)
Fly to Mammoth lakes from LA on 9/17, take Yarts from Mammoth lakes to Yosemite Valley on 9/18. BUT, Yarts doesn't run on weekdays (9/18). So this option is out.
C)
Fly to Mammoth lakes from LA on 9/16, take Yarts from Mammoth lakes to Yosemite Valley on 9/17. BUT, I can't find a flight (AA or Alaska) that runs on a Saturday. So this option is out.
What are my other options ? I am still doing the research for more options. but it kind of throws me off because ESTA runs on weekdays only and YARTS on weekends only.. haha ! its a bit of challenge.
Is here anyone out there, with slightly same schedule as I and i can maybe carpool or we can share the cost.
I am a little flexible in terms of starting a day or so early.. but i have to work until friday (9/15)
