No, actually in the old days, the ride entries for the Tevis would be sent out throughout the year and the Tevis ride management required that entries could not be postmarked before a certain date.  If they received an entry with a postmark before the specified date, then that entry would be thrown away.  The spots were very coveted so everyone would mail their Tevis entry on the date specified and my understanding is that the post office would bring bags of mail in and it would fill up in a day or two and the rest would go on a mailing list.  This ride is small potatoes compared to the Tevis.

 

Warner Springs is popular because of the olympic size mineral pool, and bungalows with fireplaces, and eating the dinner at the awards banquet on dishes on tables with tablesclothes.

 

The problem is that because it has gotten so popular that the regular local riders do not realize that they need to get their entry in so quickly that they miss the boat (and the ride).  We have a lot of riders from different states coming (Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, & Arizona.)

 

Hopefully the weather will cooperate.  As you may remember, 3 years ago (during El Nino) we had a storm and the ride was cancelled the day of the ride.  Most of the riders stayed and enjoyed the resort and many told me "it was the best ride they never did.".

That has got to be a record, for any ride ever.  (Even Tevis in the old days.)

Just to let you know, there are no more corrals available at Warner Springs.  I received 60 entries by fax the first day and have yet to get the mail.
