Bus was safe & clean but didn’t drop off at the gas station advertised - it was actually 5 miles out. I said this to the driver and he explained they never drop off at the gas station in wilderness town and right now they can’t due to construction. I spoke to a few backpackers who all had to hitchhike to get back into town as the gas station don’t have any resources to call a shuttle or taxi service and there’s no information online. Thankfully I arrived at a resonance hour of the day so I was able to find someone to take me back into wilderness.
