I walked to the trail. Took me 5 days from Santa Barbara. I got a  
ride the last 22 miles to Hikertown from Los Alamos Camp near the  
Buck Creek Trailhead and Pyramid Lake. It was a big adventure and a  
horrible route with bushwacking in chaparral and getting hopelessly  
lost down Snowy Creek. I was going to ride my bike the last 22 miles  
(I hid a bike in the bushes) but that was too scary on a bike with a  
big backpack and only two functional gears and barely functioning  
brakes. If there's a red Raleigh 3-speed still there at Hikertown,  
that was my bike. Big adventure!
