Tri-Tip help

As a displaced Californian I'm having trouble finding Tri-Tips out here.
Could one of you great people explain exactly where this cut comes from? A picture would be really appreciated. Something I can take to a local butcher and say; Here, like this.
TIA,
MikeS.

MikeSh, If you can't have any luck with your local butchers you can always order them from Harris Ranch. I understand your pain-----I just came back from two trips to the Santa Maria area and am now suffering from tri-tip withdrwal! http://www.harrisranch.com/shop_prodcat_03.html Ed

Mike ,
Here in Kentuckiana we frequently find "Whole Sirloin Tip" roasts on sale. They run quite a bit larger than my SoCal Tri-tip, but they are from the same region of the cow. We got one last week...10.5 lbs at $1.79 a lb. They usually come in the packers wrap, as opposed to the supermarket cut and wrap.
I will treat it like a brisket when I slow-smoke & BBQ it for Labor Day Weekend. I do usually lay some bacon strips over the beef in the smoker as it doesn't have the fat-cap that a Brisket has to moisten the meat as it cooks.
