Hi Everyone,
My Wife and Son have taken an emergency flight out of state so I am alone for the weekend and plan on making my way out to the lone pine / bishop area. I have been calling for a permit, and I hope to catch a cancelled reservation for an overnight pass on 02-03 July.
I work just north of Sacramento, so I plan on leaving work ASAP on Friday and driving straight there, maybe catching a camp site somewhere along the way for a few hours of sleep. This will put me in Lone Pine at or around 8am on Saturday.
If I am unable to reserve a pass during the weekend, is there a spot where I can be guaranteed somewhere to pitch a small tent in the wild and do a few days of hiking? I'm willing to go as far south as Tehachapi and as far north as Reno.
Also, if there are any groups going hiking / camping in the area - I would love to join. I'm 26, physically fit, and won't slow anyone down.
Thanks for your time.
