Sounds good to me! It's like running the trail twice!

Ran the Little Sluice today in my buggy. Hopefully someone there got some pictures. Sue was supposed to take pictures because she was to afraid to watch me thinking I was going to break something. Took a little horse power (maybe a lot :twisted:) to get past the first obstical then it was easy past there. I guess they can blow it up now that I have done it in the buggy

I am still a go for the Rubicon Run on 7Sep as long as I do not hold up folks with my relatively mild JKU. I guess the plan is Loon to Buck Island and back, 830 start at the Spillway?

Its really up to the crowed on how far we head in. If the LS doesn't take too long I would like to make it down to the bridge crossing the rubicon...everything beyond that is cake anyways and it would be nice to run back up OS. What do you guys think???
PS they cant blow up LS until I run it on Friday!!!!!

If we keep up a good steady pace, we can get to the springs in 2 to 3 hours at the most.

I agree. We should be able to make spyder in under an hour and the springs in about 1.5hrs from there.
Rob/Scott. My passenger is driving up from Gilroy so can you PM me your cell #s? That way I'll call if I'm late and have to catch up on the trail with you guys.

I think I am going to have to pass on this one after all . I injured my leg recently and had hoped it would be better by now but I suspect a long day of using the clutch will be hard to keep up with the fast pace. Sounds like it will be a great run.

Not a problem. Maybe next time. Two weeks until Fordyce, but I think you should ride that trail before driving it or look for an overnight trip.

So...we'll be hearing of the actual time elapsed from Loon to Springs of roughly ~3hrs or less. 8)

Since I've previously made Loon to the tahoe staging area in 4 hrs, the time you reference is doable, but I think our time is better spent in Old Sleuce becuase True Big Sleuce is now 80% gravel highway and kind of a waste of time...

It took us about 1.3 hours to run into Buck island. After lunch we headed back up to the Little Sluice. I ran it then I spotted Scott through. Headed back out and right at the top of the Granite bowl, Brad ripped his front track bar off the frame. Couple hours of attempted welding fixes that failed, we chained and winched the front axle into place, and Brad limped it off the trail. He drove it to a place called the phone booth and called a tow truck. All in all, it was a great trip!!

For my first JK breakage, it wasnt too bad. Scott and Rob helped out a lot, along with several other jeepers. I'm glad I didn't try little sleuce this trip as I likely would have broken in there and been stuck for a while.
I still though it was a great run and the weather was perfect.

Good to hear you guys made it home safely. What was the cause of the track bar break?
