Copied this from an e-mail from John Cassidy, who I'll be pacing Saturday at Western States. Working on my insults for the top runners when they pass by at Duncan Canyon.
All cars/everyone/everything then drive to Auburn M100 and then to
Foresthill M62 --- all hotels need to be checked out of.
Yes, it's a roundabout drive to get access onto the actual course.
Foresthill is a small town and become a central point for most of the
race. The biggest crowds will be in Foresthill.
Then the crew split up:
Crew A (JT/Jess)
Crew B (Dad/Kelly/Dennis)
Crew A (JT/Jess): Mosquito Ridge Road - Crew at M23 Duncan Canyon and
M38 Dusty Corners (you will see the front runners at M23, maybe miss
the top 50 at M38)
Crew B (Dad/Kelly/Dennis): Foresthill Road - Crew at M29 Robison Flat.
Crews meet up at M62 Foresthill and drive together to M55 Michigan Bluff
(Dave may begin pacing here if I get there after 8:30PM)
Combined Crew at M62 Foresthill (however you can walk reverse course to
M60 and pace me in from Bath Road "unlimited pacers allowed" between
M60-M62)
Crew B (Dad/Kelly/Dennis) go to Drivers Flat and walks down 2.5 miles to
Rucky Chucky near side (M78). They will not be allowed to cross the
river. Some may choose to sleep this one out at the hotel.
Crew A (JT/Jess) go the shuttle pick-up point for Green Gate M80. If
you want to, you are allowed to walk reverse course M80 to M78 Rucky
Chucky far side - as "unlimited pacers allowed" between M78-M80. This
will have Me, Dave, JT, Jess together for M78 to M80
JT begins pacing at M80 Green Gate to the finish. M80 to M100
Dave will paced M62 to M80. (and Dave will ride with your sister back to
the finish/hotel/hwy 49 areas).
Combined Crew at M93 (Hwy 49 crossing) - or whoever is awake
Combined Crew at M96 (No Hands Bridge) - or whoever is awake
Combined Crew at M100 (Finish) - Crew can reverse course to M98.9 Robie
Point and pace me in (their choice). as "unlimited pacers allowed"
between M98.9-M100

Huh?!?
I'm with Mooggy. F that!
How 'bout hang out at Foresthill and drink a few beers and watch the lead runners come through, have someone go to Michigan Bluff to crew. Then, have someone come back to FH to crew again. Pace the last 38 to the track. Have crew meet at Green Gate and Hwy 49.
Oh, and don't forgot to drink a few at Brown's Bar. Sumbitches tried to get my runner drunk there and one chick gave him her number. Bunch of slutty hashers, I tell ya!
This is all changing now. No crew access until Michigan Bluff (mile 55).
Looking forward to Brown's Bar!
