A nice ranger at the Visitor Center gave me cardboard and some sharpies so I could construct my Fresno sign. She advised Camp 4, which I could reach both with the regular and the El Capitan shuttles and it’s very close to the Yosemite Falls trailhead. The spot is as west as I can be without having a mode of shuttle transportation back to other stops. Maybe the fact that it was morning or the selected spot wasn’t perfect but no one stopped for Fresno. I had two samaritans, one would bring me to the tunnel and the other to Oakhurst. I didn’t have enough courage to make the leap of faith, I was not sure if I’m not successful here then anyone would pick me up at the tunnel or Oakhurst. Of course this is all knowing that I had the fallback YARTS ride ($15) from the Visitor Center. So at around 10:30 AM I caught the El Cap shuttle (that has way less stops until the visitor center and made it back to the center around 10:45 AM.
