7/16 @ 5:30pm, heading into the park, near the tunnel. We were heading out of the park. Had the newer color scheme. Did they make you pay the extra fee to go through the tunnel? They took our measurement including the fenders, which I don't think should count... they said we were 3 inches too wide, so we had to buy the "wide load" permit.

Interesting about the tunnel fee- they also count mirrors, anything over 7'10" wide pays the fee! I got dinged for an extra fee crossing Lake Ponchartrain once- the plastic vent cover on the truck camper put us inches out of their lower fee. For those that don't know that is the world's longest bridge. ------------- 2014 179 Towed by a 2015 Ford Transit Diesel Supervised by a German/Aussie mix and a Labradoodle! |

Another sighting, I'm guessing the same pod due to the close proximity and just a day later. This time they were entering Bryce as we were leaving. Newer pod graphics. I didn't get a good look at the TV either time to know if its the same one. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
