I don't know what my schedule is yet. This is always scheduled during my first week of Summer School and I never know what my schedule is until the week before. I hope to get to run at least one day. Plus, it would make it easier to drag you out if I'm already there mr-green

Justin, I am planning on running it from Tahoe to Loon on Monday and maybe stay until Tuesday if you want to go from the Tahoe side..But to be honest, I really doubt you will be able to run the entire trail until late June. Here is a photo taken at at the beginning of Wentworth springs road this past weekend..There is still 8 to 10 feet and more at the higher elevations..You guys might want to have a back up plan

It ought to be interesting on seeing the snow melt. My work's temp projections show a +16 for 14 days, starting next week. We should begin seeing strong run off in about 10 days.

If the temps stay high, there may be a chance.

That is what I am hoping for. It is nice to have the snow, but it sure puts a downer on the start of the 4wheeling season.

Rob, do you have any details on your run? I may be interested in a fun alternative to the 2-day run if that's ok.

My plan was to leave Auburn around 8 or so. Have breakfast in Truckee or Tahoe City, then head onto the trail and wheel to Buck Island or futher depending on what others might want to do. Tuesday head out to Loon lake. I'm not opposed to doing it in one day if others don't want to camp. I am open to suggestions too. I just enjoy the Rubicon From Tahoe to Loon over the traditional way

Sounds good. I may even be ok with a day run but it depends on my jeep situation. I need to get the black one working, or make sure I still have the yellow one.

I think we talked about moving the maintenance run to the Roundup date, and moving the Roundup to July.

If I go, it is only going to be from Tahoe side. It is the only real challenging way on the Rubicon, plus it takes less time from my house to Tahoe and to the trail than it takes me to drive to Loon lake.

Driving to the trail is a non-issue since you still have to drive home from the Loon side 😛

My new plan...

1.)Drive in from Tahoe to Buck on Sunday.
2.)Camp at Buck Sunday night.
3.)Night wheeling up Old Sluice and back down to Buck.
4.)Leaving Monday, either back out Tahoe or through Loon, depending on what the group is doing.

Like I said, it's going to be hard for me to take time off work this summer thanks to all the late rain we got this spring. It's going to take a couple of months to catch up.
I should be good to go for the Roundup though.
