to my knowledge, no, not really. unless you can find someone to give you a ride. it'd be super roundabout and totally not worth it, but you might be able to take greyhound up to bethlehem, then arrange something with a special LANTA van/bus or something? i'm not entirely sure.

Taxi, but i'm sure it'll cost more than a lift ticket.

Just hit up people in here and try to hitch rides with people already goin.

So like just south of KOP eh? I might be able to be persuaded into providing a ride or two during the season, that's about a thirty minute drive south for me though.

it's probably a little over an hour north of me so your maybe and hour and forty five or so. Hop on 476 straight up to pocono exit, a pretty straight shot, it's been a while since I was at frost or boulder though.

If you're super desperate you could get a Zip Car. This is the farthest spot outside the city I could find one and it's real close to Villanova.
