For those camping Friday night, I'm planning on camping nearer to Lone Pine so that meeting up on Olancha is a shorter Saturday morning drive.
Don't know yet where I'll camp exactly. I would like to think Alabama Hills, but it will probably be busy, and I'll be coming in after dark for sure. So finding a spot might be challenging.
IMHO, the Pinnacles are a fair bit out of the way if you're coming through Tehachapi from the bay area. If you're coming down 395 from the north, you'll pretty much pass through Olancha to get to the Pinnacles.
