The meet up location is the Chevron station on Hwy 50 in Pollock Pines (7720 US-50, Pollock Pines, CA 95726) which is just east of the Sly Park exit. It is know as Fresh Pond. Is that what your were asking?

What a day what a day! Beautiful day on the trail. We made are way through the con and stopped at soup bowl for lunch and watch multiple rigs from other groups try soup. It was a slippery mess and there was only a few that actually made it up it. Dale wasn’t sure about it the he finally decided to give it a shot. Try 1, backed up try 2, slight adjustment then 3 and climbed right up! It was fantastic to watch a full size tank climb soup. Nice work dale! We ended up just turning around at soup after hanging out for 1.5 hours. On the way out everything was smooth until Dale high sided a rock on the bowl and rolled 1 1/2 times stopping against a big rock on his side. We all ran to his rescues and thankfully he was fine. We worked together to get his rig back on the wheels with winches. We were successful. Cleaned up oil spills and he fired it right up. We continue on after that to the kiosk where we aired up. So happy dale was okay and it could have been so much worse than it was. Thank you everyone for coming out today. Another great club run.
Lynda and Guy Member Joined: June 2021Lynda and Guy Member Joined: June 2021Oh wow!!! Ok. Seriously. Gracious Dale!! I’m glad y’all had a great day but what a heart stopper!! And Dale, you couldn’t look more annoyed in your pictures!!! Lol
That’s why you have all that protective stuff on you big Dodge!! Well done!
Thanks for posting details Robert. Looks like you got the Trail Boss thing down!
Glad everyone is safe!
I love the group photo!

That is now known as Dale's Rock. Glad you were not injured and in good spirits. What a day

Take a good look at this picture. Robert's Jeep and the bolder next to Dale's truck stopped him from rolling off the six foot high shelf below his truck. Thankfully Dale wasn't injured and that his truck received relatively minor damage. Things could have turned out much worse, so all in all, we were lucky. It was a great team effort to get his truck back on all four wheels and back on the trail. Most notable was Dale's great attitude having experienced such a traumatic event. In spite of this incident, we had a fantastic day. Dale's roll over pales in comparison to the fun we had watching him climb up soup bowl. Thank you Rob for organizing and leading this run. We had four drivers who had never been on or driven the Rubicon. It seems everyone had a great time.
