This is Chuck with the gold Rubicon, right? Glad you can come along. We are meeting at 6:00 at Starbucks and then we are going to catch some breakfast. I'll swing by Starbucks (a few minutes before 6:00) to get you and you can follow me to SweetPeas for breakfast.
In so far:
John and Justin
Rob
Troy
Chuck

YummYummYumm 😏
What happened to your post Mike??? Decide not to go???
I got the top on and the Jeep packed...we are going to have fun 😀
I'm activating my Tech-Ice 😎
It's probably going to be a late run...we'll check in when we get back.
If we run into problems, we'll be calling CabinBoy/JoeInAHole first, then Keane second, then Dan third.
Good luck guys, have fun

My Jeeps still topless, so basically I'm ready.

It was an honor just being nominated. 😀
So it's just about noon. Any bets where the are?
Hopefully, half way...
3:30...Attempting the Little Sluice?
7:00...I'm guessing airing up at Loon?
We're partially back..... Rob and John had to return with a trailer to the Tahoe side to pick up one of the rigs with a trailer. Everybody had some kind of damage, some on the trail and I think Chuck got a ticket on the way home right after he passed me on a corner from a CHP officer hiding in the dark. He cut me off pulling out onto the freeway and pulled Chuck over really quick.... 😢 I'll let Rob and John fill in on the details, but Rob, John and I all had some sort of damage from the run
Headed back to pick up a broken rig? What happened? Are they in for a long night?
Wow!
At least a couple people are at home.
3:00 am...I'm home (finally). I tore the track bar bracket off the axle at the top of the Big Sluice. We monkey rigged it, but that only lasted about 200 yards. We turned around and went back out Tahoe. I drove most of the way out with minimal steering. I drove part of the way out with NO STEERING 😲 You haven't experienced Cadilac until you've driven up it with no track bar and no steering. A real treat. We got the Jeep out and Rob and I got his truck from Auburn, a trailer from a friend in Truckee, and got my Jeep home. Thanks to everybody for helping me out, and a BIG THANKS to Rob for getting my Jeep home at 3:00 in the morning. I owe you big time. I'm tired and going to bed.
Sounds like a crazy trip. What is the rest of the damage report?
