Thanks for cross posting over in the NE chapter.

A bunch of us had looked at doing this trip in '22, and started figuring out logistics, but it fell through so the plans got shelved.

I have a conference in Vegas starting the evening of the 4th, and I was planning on road tripping out anyway...not necessarily towing the buggy out, but that might be back on the table now.

Theoretically if I put it together, I'd do as you said up there - camp/stage at the Tahoma trailhead Saturday night, cannonball the thing to Loon on Sunday, and then enjoy a leisurely pace back to Tahoma for a few days before heading down to my thing in Vegas on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

*edit - or cannonball on Monday, whatever.

I've been up to Loon a few times, even took a rental to the granite bowl one year for Steaks & Stories, and drove up to the Tahoma trailhead once when I had a few days to kill at Tahoe. It's the bit in between those two that I'd like to cross off the list, and might as well do it twice

Buggy is good to go as it sits, tow rig needs some love and thorough going-over...but I'll keep this penciled in, if y'all don't mind an oddball buggy tagging along :roll:

As long as round headlight vehicles are allowed on this run, I am going to try and make it.

I realized its been 12ish years since Ive done the Rubicon, right about time to change that.

As Blondejon said - reach out to me, I'll post a more official "whose going" thread after our Memorial Day Reno Run to kick off for Sierra Fest.

Best to reach out via email for fastest response :compwork: ([email protected]) but other avenues okay too.

Hope you make it and become a regular in the SoCal (and NorthWest) entourage who come each year!!
