Rides to town can be arranged depending on time and availability (or you can walk a leisurely 30 minutes each way); there is a chance bicycles and/or e-bikes may be available for use and/or rent.
There will also be a hiker box (i.e. a place hikers can leave items they no longer want to carry and where other hikers can take things left at no cost).

That is such a great location for a PCT Hiker service. Years ago, I got off the trail at Scott Mountain because of a minor foot injury (which I didn’t want to turn into a major foot injury) and got a hitch with a couple of botanists who were out there collecting samples for DNA sequencing (did you know that to harvest plants for DNA sequencing you need a permit from the Forest Service?). It would’ve been so nice to have had a place like this base camp to rest and arrange for rides.
