Please post up here to confirm you'll be on is run so we look out for you.
So far it sounds like:

I will meet at loon air down spot at 9 on Sunday and will be going all the way through. If I can get tires I will bring the white TJ, if not the tan LJ. Carl might ride shotgun.

An alternative might be to catch a ride as a navigator/photog/historian for the trip.

I can't confirm the seat yet until I hear back from a friend, but I like having a cameraman with me!
Hello camera man! Please confirm you are a "sure thing" for the trip and I'll hold the PS for you. Bring gear, supplies and your camera for the trip and we'll meet at my house, and then return back here the next day.
Barring anything unforeseen, I am a "sure thing". I'll meet up at your place on Sunday morning for the drive to Georgetown. What time?

Offline My plan, if it all works out, is to wheel in to Buck with the group on Sunday and wheel back out to Loon that same evening.

Is anyone up for going in Saturday and out Sunday? I know the plan is Sun/Mon but I was hoping to not take time off on Monday. I want to go all the way through as I've never done it before.

Offline I am probably out until I decide what to do with my Jeep and get to fixing it.
Might throw new Clayton arms under it and fab up some new steering components.

Yup, I'm debating what to do. If I put money into it, then it will be nice to have it drivable on the road again. But a street legal stretch takes a good amount of money. So, stretch and trailer queen or road friendly again? Decisions, decisions...

We are going to leave Buck Island around 9am Sunday. We will be at Buck Friday and Saturday night. Mostly Commando's and 1 Scout. A picture of some of the usual suspects. Mark[Image Can Not Be Found]

Offline Jason, if you hit the trail at 7 am you could be to buck island by 9 and catch the Sunday group going across.
The trail is a pretty easy 4 hr drive.

Mark, when are you heading into buck on friday?
1:25 pm
9am give or take, we will be at Loon campgrounds Thursday evening. Our schedule (which is loose) goes like this. Friday leave Loon at 9 run to Buck via Old Sluice,camp at Buck. Saturday we leave camp setup at Buck and run to the Springs and sometimes Cadillac, run Big Sluice uphill back to camp, have some lunch and then run Old Sluice uphill and depending on our pace back down Old Sluice or Indian Trail. Sunday am we head out via Indian Trail and Loon. It has worked for us for 10+ years and you get to run a bunch of sections both directions, only setup camp once and the trailer Queens end up back at there trailers. Mark

Sorry Jason. I thought the group was going through.

Offline I'm still working on the logistics, but I'd like to make the Sun/Mon run if you've got room for 1 more. Already pre-booked the weekend camping with the fam at sly park, but its looking like I may be able to cut out Sun morning to make the run. I would likely meet up at loon dam restrooms at 9:00am (I believe that was the last set time) so that I don't have to back track to Georgetown...however I could use some help on exactly where that is 😕

Offline Drive up hwy 50
Turn left at riverton just after you cross the river on the hwy
Drive about 30 miles until you see the wentworth springs road on your left side drive another 2-3 miles and you will see a right turn that says loon lake. Drive to the end of that road. I'll bearing down at the restrooms just before the spillway.
