Our Kansas City experienced led us to take the bus from the Airport where we left the truck to the train station. We were 2 of the 4 white people that road the busses. One driver even asked us if we were 'sure' we had the right bus.
We then rented a car in LA, drive the coast for a few hours, and arrived at Sequoia National Park. We camped two nights.

We then drove to Las Vegas via Death Valley and flew back to KC.
