You are going to be 2 hours north and 130 miles from civilization. There are no coaches or taxis to be had. There are lots of people who are heading back to Reno and your best bet is just to ask around. There is a steady stream of cars leaving on that Sunday morning and most will be heading in that direction. Make friends, be nice and you will have a ride!! :D


edit: As I read your post again, your flight is very early. Many people head right out of there after the burn on Saturday night and you could head out with one of them. Also, consider renting a car and driving.

> after the burn on Saturday night

That's the ticket. There'll be a crowd of people already packed and ready to go. You can choose between giving them all your stuff ahead of time and finding them before they leave or just standing near the traffic line with your stuff on the way out and waiting for a ride.

You'll get one.

You'll never be prepared mentally for the first time. You'll see when you get there.
