NOTE: We still need 1 leader to lead this run. 

One who is willing to lead the Friday group (Official Leader?) and someone to run the Saturday group (Brad/Dale). 

I will be attending this run and planning to camp both nights.

Rubicon Camping Run - Friday, Saturday & Sunday (June 19, 20 & 21)

The plan is to do a 3 day trip June 19-21, 2026 (Friday - Sunday). Meeting at Loon Lake

GROUP 1: Will meet at 8:30am at Loon Lake just on the other side of the damn where we will air down and have a driver meeting.  We will roll out at 9:00am. Day one would end at Buck Island where we would set up camp for the weekend.  Day 2 can start with a run back to the RTF loop for those who want, then return back to Buck. Day 3 we will pack up and roll out stopping at the springs for some pictures and head out Cadillac hill.  We can decide then if we want to have lunch at the springs or go to Burger Lounge.

GROUP 2: Will meet at 8:30am at Loon Lake just on the other side of the damn where they will air down and have a driver meeting.  They will roll out at 9:00am. Day one would end at Buck Island where we would set up camp for the night.  Day 2 we will pack up and roll out stopping at the springs for some pictures and head out Cadillac hill.  We can decide then if we want to have lunch at the springs or go to Burger Lounge.

This would be a great run for Prospects Member BBQ.  

I don't have a lot of Rubicon Experience but am willing to lead Group 1 if necessary.

I am interested in the Sat/Sun and can go with Dale.  This will be my first time in this jeep so no guarantees!

And now you have a chauffeur? I think you are living too much of the good life, time for us to go back to winch hill 4.

Not if we just bring the kids with us.  It's our day.

I tried really hard to keep this in the calendar, but it is not lining up, I need to back out crying2

Anyone else able to jump in and lead the 3 day? Brian, Jeff, Chris, you all want to tag team it? I think the hardest part is deciding on the camping spot Friday night and coordinating with the 2 Day crew on meetup plan.

I'm sure we can make do with a community effort.  If it comes down to it, I can be "labeled" as the group leader.  On Saturday we can always just play a game of hide and seek.  We can see how long it takes the saturday group to find us.

Disregard,  I just read the last line of the original post.  It looks like Roy already volunteered to be group leader...

Roy, if you want any help in planning, just put Brian at the front so the group stays together.  If anyone can't keep up with him, they don't belong on the trail.

Agreed and just fine being tailgunner myself. Brian can take lead. Otherwise I’m down for anything. We will figure it out. Can’t wait.

Hey there folks! It's been a few years since I've traversed the Rubicon. It's also been over a year since I joined you on the Slick Rock/Deer Valley run, too long all the way around. I'd love to join you all on this. I'd be most interested in the 3 day trip.

All, I must bow out of the 2 day run, and related leadership.

It is my daughters 21st birthday.  Being a great parent I forgot about it, until the boss reminded me.

 

Good luck all.  I would be willing to lead a separate 2 day run later if others would like.

Does your daughter want you anywhere near her 21st birthday? She is also the boss in this situation. Ask here while wearing an embarrassing dad shirt might get you the weekend free.
