[pct-l] Etna - Medford

[Edward Anderson]

Hello Dan,

I was always impatient if I had to wait a long time for a bus - in cases like that hitching was faster. 

Regarding Etna to Weed - I had left my horse in good care in Castella, then drove my rig north to park it at a ranch in Etna.
Since the wait for the bus was too long, I decided to hitch from the east end of Etna. Held up my bright orange PCT bandana that read "hiker to town" with a sign pined on saying "Weed". I was really lucky there - got a ride from a local who was going to Weed. His was the first car !   He dropped me off at the bus stop in Weed, where I had a short wait. Since the Greyhound refuses to stop at Castella (perhaps they do now, that was in 2008), I had to get off at Mt. Shasta and hitch on to Castella. Got that ride from an 18-wheeler, who was stopped for a break at the place from where I was hitching !  He had watched me with my thumb out, and a sign saying "Castella", for about 10 minutes then called me over and offered me a ride. He told me it was against the rules, but he didn't care. Once I was re-united with my horse in Castella, I saddled up and rode north to Etna.

Anyone have any good transportation options from Etna, CA to Medford, OR?
It looks like there is bus transportation from Etna to Weed.  Then catch
greyhound to Medford.  Anyone do this option?

Thanks,
Dan
