Backup plan: Hitchhike to the top in the morning. I've done this 2 or 3 times. The travelers on that road know the routine and are generally very nice.

Thanks Slot Machine. It sounds like you've hitched from the bottom trailhead to the top? I would guess that finding someone who's spotting a car would be easier than doing the hitchhike in pieces along the highway and then the dirt road.

You're welcome, and welcome to Bogley. :mrgreen:

Yes, from the bottom TH to the top.

Hitchhiking is easier, because you don't have to find a buddy to spot a car and hope they show up on time. But the best part is, at the end of your hike, when you are sweaty and thirsty, you don't have to drive back to the top and get your car (saving you about an hour). You're back at Oscar's an hour sooner! Awesome!

Also, the hitchhike is a straight shot up the hill. No dirt road involved. There is a dirt path from the paved road to the parking area, 400 feet long. Is that what you are referring to?
