Sharyn,

The alternative to clarksburg is charleston.

That at least gets you into the state.

I checked the staff list and none of the residents of charleston who are often on staff are listed. It would be worth asking the folks at Augusta if any of the usual suspects from Charleston will be at vocal week.

Once upon a time the non-auto/non railroad way to get anywhere in WV was bus (or hitchhiking).

A quick check of the grayhound website shows no service from charleston to elkins.

A quick check of the trailways website does not make it clear whether trailways serves WV. It might be worth contacting someone at trailways.

Contact the folks at Augusta again. Tell them you need a ride from Charleston airport to Elkins. You won't be the first person with that specific need. Happens all the time. Call them instead of emailing. Get a human being on the phone. If someone else is flying into charleston for vocal week they'll almost certainly be renting a car. See about carpooling with them.

Good luck.
