[pct-l] Getting to Pines to Palms/PCT Trailhead

[Rick Wiggins]

I did this last year.  I did contact an angel but was unsuccessful.  So I took a taxi up there from the Best Western Palm Desert.  It cost me around $70.
 
Not a cheap way to start but it got me up there. The taxi driver was very appreciative that I gave him such a scenic job!  I dont remember the taxi co. but it was one of the main ones. I want to say American taxi Co??
 
Hope that helps,

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how best to get to the Pines to
Palms/PCT Trailhead on Monday morning, April 16th?  We (two of us) have
considered flying into Palm Springs as the closest airport.  Is anyone
aware of a taxi option?  Is there a Trail Angel in the Palm Springs area
that might make the drive for gas money and breakfast at Paradise Cafe?

All advice welcome!
