Re: [RC] Unloading at a rest area - Lynn KinskyI got my horse out at rest area awhile back. We normally use truck stops, but this rest area had a nice spacious area in the back and it was a hot day so we stopped. Not two minutes after I unloaded, here comes this guy (I think he was like the rest area host or custodian or something) and he says, "You can't unload livestock in the rest area". I said to him in mock disbelief, "Livestock??!!! I can't believe you just called my pride and joy 'livestock'! And, I got him out because he's thirsty; I'll load him up as soon as he takes a drink". Well, apparently the guy didn't feel like being a jerk, or my passion for the welfare of my horse kinda shocked him, because he walked away without a word. But that was the last time we ever unloaded at a rest area, which is no big deal since so many truck stops here in the midwest do have nice places to unload. Kristi iluvdez at yahoo dot com I think it depends on the areas and workers. I've unloaded at rest stops before and walked the horse over to the pet area -- even had the maintenance workers bring the horse a bucket of water on occasion. -- Lynn Kinsky, Santa Ynez, CA http://www.silcom.com/~lkinsky/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
