Rubicon trip recap

[EricsXJ]

My son Taylor and I had alot of fun on this trip. Thanks Johnny for putting this together and sending the invites.

Josh, those are some very nice pics. Nice job. Nice to wheel with you again.

It was nice meeting some other guys for the first time.

I think as far as damage goes I got the worst of it. Just after I repaired and painted the jeep too. :smsoap: Oh well, its just sheet metal right?

I'll see what pics are on my camera and post some up.

Those are marmots. They like wires and radiator hoses.

Yeah, but are they good on the grill

I suggested we rename it to the Beaver Run. It looked just like that damn beaver from the movie with Bill Murray, Groundhog Day.

Don't do that. The Sierra Club will hear about it and make the place into a wilderness area to protect the incredibly rare fur tailed mountain beaver.

Glad you all had a great time. I really wish I could have gone again this year.

Did anyone else try the Soup Bowl?

Only Eric tried the Soup Bowl. There was a buggy that we let go through. After everyone saw how much he was scraping, nobody else wanted to try it.

So what's a guy got to do to get an invite on one of these runs, Johnny? I promise I'll see a doctor about the snoring!

Great pics! Looks like one awesome time, and no rigs lost! Good job

 

[Kejtar]

what are the minimum requirements to run those trails?

I've done it first time on 31's with two lockers and rock rails. IIRC another year we had someone in our group with 31's and one locker and rock rails. It all depends on the driver and spotter Oh yeah, deeper gears are also a must: 4.11's at least with 31's.

Love the pictures! Johnny, next year!

Did the Weimaraner belong to any of you guys?

 

[Vince]

Euge, are you planning on going next year? Dave & Jan want to bring their 6 wheel Pinzgauer over. I'm looking at options and dates now. If I can afford to get my Jeep back over for Fall Fling this year we would have to be out of the US by the end of July 2010.

Did the Weimaraner belong to any of you guys?

Yes, her name is Pepper and belongs to Danny.

When we were at the overlook getting a group photo there was about 4 or 5 mogs heading down to the springs. A couple of the usual ones, a camper one , and even a newer boxy model pickup with a crane on the back, oh and a Vanagon Syncro.
