Annual Rubicon Roundup

Track bar done??







I will need an open seat.

I'm a maybe

Ok, unfortunatly i have a wedding to go to on sunday so I will be heading up to Loon Lake friday night and driving into Wentworth Springs to camp. Runing the rest of the trail and out at Tahoe on Saturday. If anyone is interested in tagging along the company would be more than welcome.

Ok! For the Sunday/Monday group we will be meeting in Georgetown at 8 and leaving at 830. You can also plan to meet us at the air down location at 9. We'll air down at the loon dam restrooms.



Please post up here to confirm you'll be on is run so we look out for you.

So far it sounds like:

Don plus passenger

Brad plus Tom

Rick

I don't recall who else.

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?

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.

Tom, shoot for 7AM. We'll leave around 715.

Roger that. I hope we are on new 38s. 😀

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.

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.

Clayton arms are awesome!



They even sell stretch arms. "wink wink"😉

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...

AS of now im in for the Sunday Monday group

If I go with the group on Sunday is anyone finishing the trail that day instead of camping? I really want to go with the group just hate to miss work.

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

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?

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.

I'll meet you guys at the air down point at 9:00. I'll be in a green 4 door JK.

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 :?

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.
