I gave up, took the Eastern Sierra Transit bus from Lone Pine to Lee Vining this AM. Then three hitches got me home through Yosemite. The hitch hiking beat using the bus and family.

I only waited 5 minutes or so at each location before I got picked up. First by Israeli tourists, then French tourists, then a dude from New York. Thank goodness for out-of-area people!!!

I have a friend in Lone Pine who may be retrieving my car Saturday. Word is people will probably be allowed to retrieve their cars then.
