: Better let some air out of your tires and save some $$$. They charge more if
: you're over 7'6" tall.

: My truck is around 18' long, but my kayak is 21' long with the extra hanging
: off the back. Now if I have to pay for the over 20' long rate, does that
: mean that they aren't going to let anyone park the nose of their car under
: my kayak?

I haulled my 21' kayak on top of my 20' 4X4 and was over 8' high. They never even questioned it. They just sent me through at the same price as all the other cars. I parked in the tall middle of the ferry along with small cars and trucks with trailers and boats.

See you at R2K in just a few days (I think I'm in camp site C9),
