Rubicon Run - 2006!!!

[dochummer]

:) On the road right now headed north to Redding to stay overnight. And then home! Sorry, no pics to load yet. We're somewhere on I-5 in California. Had a blast! Thanks to all the great spotters and rock stackers! :jump:

[dochummer]

Just checked, my buddy's camera uses compact flash, and I only have an SD slot on the laptop...too bad! :) I'm sure someone else will be posting soon, considering I'll probably be one of the last to get home....Of course I won't be traveling as far as Shaggy or OldHiker! But, again we had a great time! :perfect10s:

[frenzy1]

Cool ! Lookin' forward to some pics !!!

[KenP]

How did the child hold up through the long days? Hope he did well.:)

[dochummer]

We didn't end up taking the youngest, but I had the 2yo and 5yo, as well as my buddy and his 4yo. They did great, just watched movies and snacked... :)

[dochummer]

Here's the convoy. :jump: More to come later.... Gotta unpack...

[DRTYFN]

Of course I won't be traveling as far as Shaggy or OldHiker! But, again we had a great time! :perfect10s:
I just called to check on Shaggy's progress and he's going through a "blizzard" in Wyoming.
I'm working on resizing pictures right now.

7:40am

I'm starting to think this whole Rubicon thing was just a picnic at a rest stop.:shhh:

I'm starting to think this whole Rubicon thing was just a picnic at a rest stop.:shhh:

hahaha:dancingbanana:

[DRTYFN]

Here's the first batch of the pictures I have. I wish I'd taken more of the "action shots", but I was usually busy stacking or spotting or just too friggin' tired.

Gatekeeper.

[DRTYFN]

More Gatekeeper.

[DRTYFN]

Straddling some little thing.

[DRTYFN]

Another little ledge.

[DRTYFN]

The rig on the right is my buddy's incredible rock rig. He drove bacvk from Spider to Loon in 32 minutes.:perfect10s:

The red rig crapped out an input shaft in the Little Sluice at about midnight on Friday. I almost broke my elbow when I rode shotgun through the Box in my buddy's rig.

[DRTYFN]

Little bridge.

[DRTYFN]

Old Hiker taking it up a little ledge.

[DRTYFN]

Part of Walker Hill.

[DRTYFN]

Aerial shot of same spot.

[DRTYFN]

Same spot, Finally's rig. The challenge is to get your passenger side front tire up the wall high enough to keep your driver's door off the knife edge that sticks out. There's plenty of paint and metal on that rock.

[DRTYFN]

Squeezing over.

[DRTYFN]

The little 3s had an easier time going through. Still challenging.

[DRTYFN]

Doc on a much higher line, but with more tippy action. Had to back up and realign himself.

[DRTYFN]

The Squeeze part of Walker. This was before the massive stacking project took place. I had maybe a 1/4" squeeze here. It brought the suck.

[DRTYFN]

A little more room and almost out of it.

[DRTYFN]

Posing on one of the fire road bumps.

[OldHiker]

Just a side note, the Gatekeeper is the first obstacle that you come to at the start. If you cannot get through this, turn back. After several hours we were all through.

Now the fun begins.

[DRTYFN]

The By-pass overlooking the Little Sluice. The view is back down the trail.

[DRTYFN]

Going down the Bypass.

[DRTYFN]

More bypass.

[The Green Lantern]

As usual, great pics!!

[DDWH]

As usual, great pics!!

:iagree: awesome pics!:beerchug:

[ROX]

7:40am

I'm starting to think this whole Rubicon thing was just a picnic at a rest stop.:shhh::fdance:

[ROX]

This is a pic at the very beginning of the trail.

[DRTYFN]

Bottom of bypass.

[DRTYFN]

Little corner with a leaning squeeze.

[DRTYFN]

Crawling down.

[ROX]

H2Finally going over a tight spot. :D

[DRTYFN]

Getting to another little ledge.

[DRTYFN]

There was lots of decision making on which of two messed up routes to take. This one was the lesser of two evils.

[ROX]

Same spot that H2F is in only from the back.

Edit* same obstacle as the last picture I posted of H2F.

[DRTYFN]

We really need some 3D cameras to depth.

[DRTYFN]

The Rubicon doesn't play favorites either. The Crapterra got intimate with some of the rocks. When in doubt, ask for a spot or get:OWNED:

[h2co-pilot]

:beerchug:

[DRTYFN]

There was LOTS of tire folding on this trail. Here's Oldhiker's tire on one of the 975 obstacles on Old Sluice.

[DRTYFN]

I went with the easy to set up little tent after getting done with Old Sluice and making it to the Rubicon bridge camp spot.

[DRTYFN]

The stream by the bridge.

[DRTYFN]

Other direction.

[DRTYFN]

After the Hell Run down the Old Sluice, seeing this bridge at 12:30am was a VERY welcome sight.

[ROX]

I :OWNED: myself without a spotter once too, don't feel bad Shag!

[DRTYFN]

Plaque on the bridge.

[DRTYFN]

Breaking camp Sunday morning was much more efficient now that people realized how important daylight running time was.

[DRTYFN]

Sewie with his mountain money.:jump:

[DRTYFN]

Mountail money + portable library = Bag-O-Doot.:jump:

[DRTYFN]

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

[DRTYFN]

Finally on the bridge.

[DRTYFN]

Somewhere near Buck Lake area.

[dochummer]

After the Hell Run down the Old Sluice, seeing this bridge at 12:30am was a VERY welcome sight.

Not to be nit picky or anything, but it was the Big Sluice that was the hell run. :) Old Sluice was between Little Sluice and Buck Island dam... ;) Big Sluice was after the pass and before the Bridge over the rubicon river... :twak::D

[DRTYFN]

Rubicon Springs area.

[HummBebe]

Not to be nit picky or anything, but it was the Big Sluice that was the hell run. :) Old Sluice was between Little Sluice and Buck Island dam... ;) Big Sluice was after the pass and before the Bridge over the rubicon river... :twak::D

Old Sluice and Big Sluice are the same. Little Sluice and Middle Sluice we by passed.:shhh:

[dochummer]

Drty, Big Sluice is where you stopped spotting me to go help the hottie with her truck...

:fdance:

[DRTYFN]

Wrong line + late night + alcohol(allegedly) = Jeep go boom.:giggling:

Luckily, they were wearing seatbelts or they would have both been dead.

[HummBebe]

Drty, Big Sluice is where you stopped spotting me to go help the hottie with her truck...

:fdance:

But she was stuck....:p :p :p

[DRTYFN]

Same spot that H2F is in only from the back.
No, your picture is before Spider, mine is after and way down the hill.

[DRTYFN]

Drty, Big Sluice is where you stopped spotting me to go help the hottie with her truck...

:fdance:
They needed a winching since they were stuck. She was too young and most likely didn't know any good tricks anyway.:jump:

[dochummer]

Old Sluice and Big Sluice are the same. Little Sluice and Middle Sluice we by passed.:shhh:

:confused: It's always fun when you discover the world is not as it is supposed to be.... :) I was getting my info from http://www.rubicon-trail.com/guide.html.
Is there a better place to look Bebe's?

[DRTYFN]

Oh, the indignity of having to ask the Hummers to be a winch point.:OWNED::jump:

[DRTYFN]

:confused: It's always fun when you discover the world is not as it is supposed to be.... :) I was getting my info from http://www.rubicon-trail.com/guide.html.

Old Sluice, Big Sluice - it's the same thing.

[HummBebe]

We should ask Cranky....that's what I was told....I've never seen that site. :giggling:

Now I'm not so sure.....CRANKY????

[DRTYFN]

It should be call the Big Suck Sluice.:giggling:

[HummBebe]

I think I see what he's calling Old Big Sluice is what they now call Middle Sluice (since its in the middle of the trail). We bypassed it when we stayed left on the slabs after Middle Sluice (Old Big Sluice).

[The Green Lantern]

Got any more pics winching the chick's rig? :excited:

[DRTYFN]

Got any more pics winching the chick's rig? :excited:
I think that was about 10:30pm and we still had a ways to go. Pictures weren't a priority right then.

[timgco]

DAMN! You guys/ girls ROCK! Waaaaaaayyyy hardcore.

I'll be the first to admit, it would have been too hardcore for me in the H2. Mental anguish would have taken over quickly. :crying:

It makes Golden Spike look like easy.;)

I think Drty's friends more than likely :OWNED: that trail with those rigs.


Great pics!

[PARAGON]

Finally on the bridge.LOOK AT THE PROTEGE'

Wearing camo pants and all. Making sure they weren't even close to capri length.:clapping:

Cool pics. Keep em coming.:D

AWESOME PICS!!!! Makes me wish I could have been there. :crying:

Keep 'em coming!!!

[HummBebe]

THIS is the bridge that HUMMER OF SACRAMENTO helped to build during the last FOTR work weekend.

5 people from their Service Department volunteered their own time to help.

Cheers to Hummer of Sacramento.....love yous guys :excited: :excited:

All I can say, Drtyfn, is I'm pissed because I didn't take you up on the offer. Those photos are awesome...and it appears you guys/gals had fantastic weather.

[KenP]

Fire road.:giggling:

[Cranky Steve]

Great Pics!! As far as Sluices go, I think you guys got it right. Little, Middle, and Big Ol' sucky.

Definitely the trip of a lifetime, every time you run the Con. It's different every year.

Drty - You'll probably be able to hear his whimpering on the video. ;)

31582

[dochummer]

I've been spending the whole day with my mind running around trying to sort out the whole Rubicon trip. It went so fast, and was such a blur, I figured I'd use the keyboard to help me out. :D I still can't believe it took 3 days to run it, and looking back, it would have been nice if we had planned for 4 days, maybe it would have helped us all soak it in better (of course, just my opinion. I think we left the hotel in Auburn at about 6:30/7am and arrived at the gas station in Georgetown so everyone could fill up and empty their bladders... :) We drove the windy two-lane highway around until we hit Loon Lake and then the trail head. Bebe's was nice enough to distribute the wag bags and also oil spill kits and flares...all located in a little shack at the trail head. After everyone aired down, we headed off...of course, with Drty in the lead. :) After running through gatekeeper on my stock tires at 20psi, Bebe's recommended that I drop to 18psi. Definately a BIG difference, the tires gripped a lot better at 18psi. Thanks Bebe's!!!
Gatekeeper was a blast, and I felt that it wasn't really all that bad. I think Drty's buddy showed up around that time with his built-up rig...that was sweet! We then hit the granite slabs/bowl which really reminded me of moab. Just big slabs of rocks and steps to climb up...Drty graciously did some "trail clean-up" while traveling the trail. :) After the slabs, some moderate obstacles, and then Walker Hill. Walker Hill/Rock was a more difficult obstacle...if I remember correctly. That included the big squeeze, and Sewie took some damage to his front passenger door after picking a bad line. :) On that same hill, we already had another group catching up to us, and as we were navigating the hill...there were a lot of pics and video taken by the onlookers. I think a lot of them couldn't believe that we were all actually on the trail... After finishing that, we setup camp right before the Little Sluice and Spider Lake at about 6-7pm. Is that about right for the first day? Rox made some GREAT kebabs! and Finally's wife had some GREAT asian salad! Thanks again for the great food ladies!

[Sewie]

H2Finally at the same spot :D

31583

[ASTAR]

Looks like a rockin' good time and I wish I had been able to make it!
Next time maybe :)

[Sewie]

Oh, yeah, I was there too. :shhh:

31584

[Sewie]

One of the best things about the trail are the amazing views. This is looking across the slabs at Buck Island Lake in the background.

[Sewie]

I've been spending the whole day with my mind running around trying to sort out the whole Rubicon trip. It went so fast, and was such a blur, I figured I'd use the keyboard to help me out. :D I still can't believe it took 3 days to run it .......

When I was driving home Sunday night I was thinking back to the parts we did Friday and it seemed like sooooo long ago. I think after Big Sluice every other part just faded into the background. :crying: But it was such an amazing trip. One that I will never forget. Thanks to everybody that came along for the chow, the rock stacking, spotting, everything. :beerchug:

[dochummer]

Drty, taking the wrong line.... :D Of course, it didn't happen too often...that we know of... Hiker's winching him off....

So what is every ones Carnage reports?:crying:

[PARAGON]

If anybody knows what the H*** he's doing there, please let us know... :)

He's steering the rear of that bridge beam. Just like the guy steering the rear of a ladder truck.

[f5fstop]

If anybody knows what the H*** he's doing there, please let us know... :)

For steering around corners, similar to the old long hook and ladder firetrucks. It would hurt if that beam fell on his head.:giggling:

[ROX]

Here's one just before camp. :D

[ROX]

Shaggy and the RexTerra. :)

[ROX]

We should have camped here, but we had no idea what was waiting for us up the road. Now we know why everyone kept saying, "I've never been all the way thru the Rubicon, I always turn around half way".

This is by the Lake (can't remember the name of it.:o )(buck or something)

This part of the trail was just like the exit of Goldenspike. Ledges that needed a little bump to get up.

Tim was right, this made Goldenspike look like a cakewalk. :crying: I'm really glad I was with people I know and trust. Thanks everyone! I'll stack rocks for you guys anytime!:perfect10s: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

[DRTYFN]

Observation Point. I parked, looked around for a minute and then started down the trail pruning and cutting as I went.

[DRTYFN]

Not a bit of body damage from rocks, but my paint is 'tatered pretty good from the brush.

[DRTYFN]

My rails saved my bacon plenty of times. I'll sand them down a bit and rattle can them back to new.:dancingbanana:

[DRTYFN]

:fdance:

[DRTYFN]

The view back towards where we came from.

[DRTYFN]

More.

[DRTYFN]

Anybody know exactly where we wheeled?

[DRTYFN]

Don't think we were that far to the North.

[DRTYFN]

IROKs > ALL
IMO, there isn't a tougher, more capable tire for this kind of wheeling. My wheels took some abuse, but not as much as I thought they would. Wheel protectors are on the list of things to make.

[DRTYFN]

Barely even a mark on the tires. After watching my tires grind around & off of all the rocks I was sure there'd be some kind of tears on the sidewalls.

[DRTYFN]

Bumper held up like a champion. Somehow I did manage to slightly bend the center piece of 1/4" plate. Think it was on The Big Suck Sluice.
Again, a little sanding & rattle canning and it'll be good as new.:D

[DRTYFN]

The Rubicon doesn't like when H3s try to come through with Line-x on their rails.:shhh:

[The Green Lantern]

Again, great pics!!.......I wonder if a stock FJ/KY can survive the trails in one piece. :giggling:



:dancingbanana:

[DRTYFN]

The Rubicon definitely doesn't like fender flares either.

[DRTYFN]

"Doesn't like" might not be a strong enough term. Hate might be better.
If it weren't for all of the extra rock-stacking those flares would be completely gone.

[DRTYFN]

:shhh:

[DRTYFN]

:shhh: X2

[DRTYFN]

I think there's little pieces of bling scattered along the entire trail.

[KenP]

Observation Point. I parked, looked around for a minute and then started down the trail pruning and cutting as I went.Where's everyone else? Did you just leave them behind since they didn't need spotting?:giggling: ;)

[DRTYFN]

Even the 3's weren't immune to getting Rubicon rock autographs.

Speaking of, Drty, where are the Camo pants? Didn't see them in any of the pics....did we hurt your wittle feelings...:clapping:

See, now you all come to Colorado.......

In a 4 day period of time we could hit up:

Wheeler Lake
Bill Moore Lake
Mill Creek
Cascade Creek
Spring Creek
Red Cone
Twin Cone
Radical Hill
Webster Pass
Red Elephant Hill
Jenny Creek

and then we could trek down to Buena Vista and run that trail system...

Until then I'll just wish I had been able to join you all in Cali...

Again, Great Pics!

[ROX]

That was the last pic we took that day. Technically, we took this one the next morning on the bridge at Rubicon Springs, but really it was 8 hours after the one above it on the rock. We were at Big Sluice at about 6:30 and we got past it at midnight. I don't know who those guys were with the tequilla, but I wanted to take the bottle from them and :twak: them with it!

BTW, this is H2F on the bridge. I was so happy to see camp on the other side.:clapping: :clapping: YOU HAVE NO IDEA!:crying:

[ROX]

Observation point! Woo Hoo! :beerchug:
We still had a couple hours to go, and the rest of the trail was nothing but lots of low laying rocks making the going slow and we didn't really have to stop for anything.

[ROX]

From here the road was like the autobahn. :excited:

Just ran through the car wash, took some 60 grit sand paper and a powersander to my bumper & rails and rattle canned everything. Looks like new.:fdance:

I don't see it :confused: What's the Butt-humpskiHis tire was rubbing on the wiring harness, and exposed some of the wires. Don't know what they go to, but it would have been funny if the dinger would have kept going on and on and on and on for infinity....:giggling: :D

Look at the wiring harness. That's a picture of AFTER I tucked it up out of the way.

Latest update. Still in Reno with no loaner, rental or my truck. And I'm not even getting kissed.

Now this fukin dealer called WinkleDinkle is giving it to me good. I pulled in for them to check it out on Tuesday morning. Seems it felt like it was in 4 wheel hi locked as I stated before. So what do they find?

1. My Fabtech tie rods are worn out? What wears on the tie rods?
2. Idler worn
3. Pittman arm worn
4. Ball joint worn
5. Building a case for why the Fabtech are to blame and NOT covered under the GMPP.
6. Something is keeping the transfer case locked. Have yet to diagnose this. The original problem.

Now I have to wait for GMPP to send an adjuster - 24-48 hours. They approved a 48 hour rental, but Enterprise is out of cars!!!! :mad:

Spoke to Hummer direct.:crying: Not much help. Switched me to GMPP. Again, not much help.:crying:

Mona is doing better, now that BeBe brought her the charger.

But I'm about to kill someone, probably the service manager at Dinkles. The mechanic looked at it yesterday for about an hour. First thing he finds is the tie rods. Give me a break. Today he was pulled off it to do a radio install. Are their priorities screwed up? A little courtesy and compassion for a traveler. NFW! How many nice things can I say about these Dinkles - none. I hope they are following this. I am just getting started. I hope all locals switch to a more experienced dealer. If not, I feel your pain.:rant:

More to come tomorrow.

Too bad you were wearing your seatbelt.





P.S. DRTY hollowed your girl out while you were passed out. We're enjoying the pictures in PM.:shhh:

[OldHiker]

If I wanted your comments, I would rattle your cage. I can't stand redneck aholes that go out with to much alcohol and testosterone and fall off big rocks. The trail went no where near where you fell off. Must have been seeing 2 trails.

I think your buddy has more repair bills then me.

Look at the wiring harness. That's a picture of AFTER I tucked it up out of the way.

When I got my 37s, I immediately bend those wire holders straight up to keep the wire away from possible rubbing. I was worried about that happening. Yikes!
