fArt, assuming we go to Cayucos, which is near SLO, your options in order of preference are:
1. Fly to SFO and hitch a ride with one of the SF jArks. Last time Motobyke and I took Caltrain (regional train) to San Jose and met with eLzar. Or we could meet with jr0n there too.
2. Alternatively, you could pop directly over to SJO and meet up with eLzar (little further drive for 'Zar, less public tranny for you).
3. Take the Coast Starlight (Amtrak) to SLO and then a shuttle from SLO to Cayucos.
4. Greyhound to SLO and then hitchhike to Cayucos.
5. Walk
Anyway you cut it, you will likely need to hitch with one of us or your ride will suck.
As far as bringing another jark along... To be honest, I don't remember the dude. It has been a while since I met Ryan. We would need to make sure logistically he fits into transportation & bed logistics. I don't think we have an accurate head count yet. I will defer to the rest of the group if anyone has reservations about another homeboy in the mix.
