Re: MIP and Open Container
You were extremely lucky you got the federal ticket. If you had gotten the state MIP citation, you'd have lost your license for a year. The VC section that covers that suspension specifically lists the CALIFORNIA statutes that it applies to. It doesn't have any provision for the federal regulation violations. The fine is also SUBSTANTIALLY less than what you'd have been facing for the state violations.

Is this for sure the federal ticket?

Yes.
The CVC lists specific code sections for which a conviction will result in a mandatory license suspension. No CFR sections are indicated.
You were cited pursuant to Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations as they pertain the Public Lands. This appears to be related to an off-road use area.
