### Cabin stop on the way in — decide later
The cabin is ~5 mi south of Hwy 180 on Hwy 245, near Pinehurst; ~10 min each way, ~40 min with unloading. Arrival there would be ~11:30 AM, before the 4 PM check-in, so it only works if the host agrees to an early drop and the door code is active. Ask Cheyenne (+1 559-790-6432 · Cheyenne@ProspectReal.com) beforehand.

The code (0110) arrived Sep 23; ask Cheyenne (+1 559-790-6432 · Cheyenne@ProspectReal.com) beforehand.
- **Option A — stop.** Fridge for the groceries, no food in the car at trailhead lots (bear rules: food out of sight by day, never overnight), and the door code is tested in daylight — the property has no cell service, so a failed code at 6:30 PM means driving back toward the highway for signal. Giant Forest at ~1:15 PM
- **Option B — straight to Giant Forest.** Buy a cooler and ice in Fresno, keep food in the boot. Giant Forest at ~12:30 PM; first time at the cabin is in the dark, so have the code, the host's number and the turn-by-turn saved offline
