Getting from Mammoth Lakes to LA via public transportation requires either detailed knowledge of schedules or a generous supply of patience. Since I lacked the former, I needed to summon the latter. Within a mere 3 days and a series of cheap motels, I was able to reach LA and meet my sister and niece (from a different sibling) for a nice evening in Chinatown.
The next morning I walked back to Union Station and rode the Amtrak Surfliner to Anaheim. After checking into a another cheap motel, I walked to the place where my motorcycle was stored the end of last August. After digging out several other rec vehicles, they got to my bike, which still had the key in it. Surprisingly, it started right up, so off I rode. As much as I favor public transportation, after 2 weeks of waiting for buses and trains to get from Reno to Mammoth Lakes to LA to Anaheim, there is no denying an exhilarating feeling a freedom from having my own motorized wheels again.
