Hello Kathy,
When Dave said he rode from Hwy49 to a mile past Poverty Bar and then
didn't say that he rode back to where he started I assumed (that
dangerous word) that he made a oneway ride across the river and up to the
highway to the north and was picked up by whomever dropped them off at
the 49 crossing. I have done several such oneway rides (not on the Tevis
trail tho) and that's why I also added "If that is what you
rode". If it wasn't then something else is wrong, can't tell from
here, too far away.

I?m a bit confused. When you
are traveling to Auburn from Poverty Bar after crossing the
river, the next stop is Lower Quarry, then you travel along the Quarry Rd
to Hwy 49. I don?t see how the ?River Crossing up to the Hwy? and another
2 miles fit in there.
The Tevis Trail Map shows Poverty Bar river crossing to the Quarry as 5
miles, then only another 2 miles to No Hands Bridge, which is on the
other side of Hwy 49.

I have never ridden the trail you just rode (pulled at Francisco's) but
Tom Noll made a GPS track of Tevis 2006 and I have some distances for
you. Hwy49 to Lower Quarry = 1.3mi. Lower Quarry to Poverty Bar (River
Crossing) = 4.8mi. River Crossing up to the Hwy = 2.0mi. If that is what
you rode then the posted mileage is correct...8.1mi.
