Rubicon in June

[BrettM]

There is a whole section on the Pirate board devoted to the Rubicon and people are posting pics basically every weekend keeping track of the snow levels, check out some from this past weekend, amazing how much is left, but melting fast: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=361056

Yup I looked at the pics at work today, looked at the calendar and decided that I got some projects I got to finish fast cause the time for fun is coming NEAR.

I might be up for going if I can get ready in time assuming you'd let some northwester go Not sure when I'd come in although I'd be more geared towards 2 days on the trail but thats just me.

As long as you meet minimum requirements (buried someplace on page 1) you're welcome to show up. I will post details as to where we're all meeting and what time as we get nearer to the date.

I do less spare tie rod/drag link and transfer case skid but both should be taken care of by then!

So running it backwards huh, that as exciting as running it forwards?

I always like entering from the backside. Tighter, wetter.

So what are the "official" days and times of this event? I plan on being up there from 6/24-26, and may as well hook up with ya'll. Entering from Tahoe or Loon?

The 25th is the first scheduled FOTR work day also. If we start from Tahoe, we'll miss it most likely.

The plan is to start on the 23rd mid day or so from Tahoe end. As soon as I figure out a good spot to meet up I'll post it up.

I'm waiting on my D44 axle housing from Currie and a couple of other misc. parts to make it work on my rig. Assuming no problems and the stars are in the proper alignment I'll be there on Wed. night but we all know how these projects go....

Anybody else know when they're heading up? I wanted a 2 day run to keep my down time down(I'd be driving down from WA) that and if I went Friday and on, my brother could come, 800 mile drive alone sucky, running con alone probably fun but not as fun

I've gone from a "definate" to a "maybe". Doc says no rock crawling for wifey right now. I still may come in Friday.

Are you guys at Buck Island Friday night?

CB channel?

It's possible that we will be at Buck Island on Fri, I'll post a more definate answer sometime next week (after I read some reports as to trail conditions from this coming weekend).

I posted a new thread with meeting spots and departure times (to make it easier to find).

 

[Paul S]

Are any parts of the trail still snowed-over?

3" of snow at Lake Tahoe yesterday, 6 more inches expected today. The Tahoe side still has about a foot or two of snow in the shady spots.

Tahoe side has some snow, but we got a bit over two weeks to go. From what I hear, the toughest part is right before Caddilac hill (when coming from Tahoe end).
Don't tell me Paul that you're scared of the white fluffy stuff

Don't mind the white stuff, but I can't stand the early season crowds, it seems to bring out the worst in people. The environment is much more relaxed after the yahoos have broken & retired for the season.

Actually from the looks of it, the yahoos might stay at home and not come out at all yet

I was thinking of the other guys that might pop in part way through and meet up

Back to "definate" from "maybe".

Snow is melting really well right now, 80 degrees at Tahoe today.
