RE: [RC] Renting vehicles for Tevis - Paul

Hi Chip,
 
Don't you remember that we rented a Jeep Liberty last year? That was the car we had Dovie Pickering driving. It was a good size for crewing. I rented it at Reno. Seems like I had to sign something about not doing any off road driving with it:-)  I asked them to more specifically define off road,  and asked them would it be ok if the road was Federally maintained?  I think they thought I meant I-80, but I was thinking more about the US Forestry roads into Robie Park. They said sure Federally maintained roads were fine. ..  Hint:.. Run it through a cheap car wash the day before you bring it back. Gets a lot of the dust off it.
 
I am pretty sure it was 2 wheel drive, but the ground clearance and interior storage room made it work really well.  They will have them in Sacramento. With higher fuel prices, SUV rentals should be down and they should offer a lower rate on it. Seems like we got 20 something MPG's with it
 
My back is getting better, but I haven't been on a horse in four weeks. That doesn't stop bouts of Tevis fever though. I'm gonna miss the Old Dominion but hope to be ready for the Vermont 100.
 
Have fun out there and help Debbie Parsons get through it. Next year is your turn!!!!
