[RC] Hay into California for Tevis - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Karen Nelson knelson@xxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I don't know who posted that the Tevis STARTS in Nevada.  IT MOST CERTAINLY 
DOES NOT.  The California agricultural inspection station is about 30 miles 
inside the border from Nevada.
The ride starts south of Truckee, about 7 miles south of town on Forest Road 
#6.  Long and powder dust.
When your crew comes out of Truckee and heads west on I-80, there is an 
agricultural inspection station there.  It is my experience that the line of 
rigs coming out of Tevis start from 4 am on is just PASSED THRU the inspection 
station.  The workers stand there waving their arms.  They have not stopped me 
or anyone I am aware of for years.  Despite your various license plates, they 
are fully aware that this group is rolling west to crew for these riders and 
they don't interfere with any of that. They know that you started from Robie 
Park.
BTW- due to many budgets cuts here in Calif, the 11 or 15 border inspection 
stations have been entire unmanned for great periods of time.  I think there 
are still some that are wide open.
Good Luck to all Tevis riders.
