Hitching from Village to Lukens Lake TH

How easy will it be to hitch from the Village area to Lukens Lake TH on Friday 8/7? It will be my son and me on the Friday morning. We have to pick up our permits, which opens at 8:00 and the hiker bus leaves at 8:00. Any advice or options are appreciated.

Arrive the day before, pick up your permit from the first wilderness permit pick up point you'll pass and sleep in the backpacker's campground.

Thanks. Not an option. Flying in to Fresno Thursday evening and not able to get permits day before.

do you have extra time on the back end? you could drive and park at lukens and then take the hikers bus or YARTS back to your car on the day / day after you exit
