Yea man there's a bus that goes up to south lake tahoe from carson city for about 7 bucks though you will probably have to take a city bus to carson. In south tahoe there's a grey hound for about 20 to sac or about 15 or more to placerville. But its good hitchin hwy 50 probly get a ride all the way to sac just put your thumb out a little ways past the "Y". But realise its cold as shit up in the mountains this time of year. Maybe snowing. My folks said there wasn't much snow right now but it could hit.
