be at the bus to the start at 0700 and i want to be able to find the spot easily. last year a friend drove this year i drive. i have an old landcruiser. coming from sacramento what is the best offramp to take and is it the tahoe truckee regional park where we wait/park? in other words i need a foolproof way to get there in the dark and hopefully clear weather.

There are a bunch of ways to do it; here is what I would recommend:
80 east in the direction of Reno (you knew this part) take exit - rte 89 south to lake tahoe right at bottom of ramp (roundabout there now), past mickey-d's, albertsons shopping mall (both on right) go under railroad bridge (narrow) take left at next light (50ft) - mobile home park on left. This is west river road or street or something Drive West river road until it dead ends into 267 take a right on 267, go over truckee river, there will be a northstar billboard blasting you in the face head up hill, and look for sign for Cottonwoods (about 100 meters) on right that's where you park - you'll figure it out from there. there will be people to direct you. |

get off at the second truckee exit (the tahoe city rd. but you go N to
the safeway/mountain hardware). directions from there are he http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?newa...us&ter r=3003 from the map on the GSR web site it looks like the 3rd exit would work as well... http://www.thegreatskirace.com/directions.html wintermutt wrote: i know truckee is a small town but i am not up there much and i need to be at the bus to the start at 0700 and i want to be able to find the spot easily. last year a friend drove this year i drive. i have an old landcruiser. coming from sacramento what is the best offramp to take and is it the tahoe truckee regional park where we wait/park? in other words i need a foolproof way to get there in the dark and hopefully clear weather.
