Is there an easy cheap way to get from Tuolumne Meadows to Lone Pine?

I'd like to leave my car at Tuolumne and then get to Lone Pine for my start of the JMT.

But between the YARTS' late schedule and the CREST's early schedule it will take two days and a motel stay in Mammoth to do it.

Mt. Whitney Shuttle is $385.

Hitching seems to make the most sense.

Any tips or tricks to getting this done?

Thanks.

Those buses/shuttles go both directions. If not on those exact pages, follow the links, they're within sibling pages.
