Ah, I can sympathize with that. Someone take Vidis with sound of them spotting each other, it might be as good as the Boat ramp at the Lake or the River Hehehehe :D

Bully, no shame in letting someone else spot your wife or you, if you know what I mean!

Sorry I can't make the trip, you will all have a blast!

Here are some suggestions from Scotte:



Going in through the Loon Lake entrance, and driving up to Ellis. Camping there Friday Night....heading out to Rubicon Springs, camping there Saturday night, and then out to Homewood.

Directions:
Take the Ice House Road \Crystal Basin exit off Hwy 50 about 20 miles east of Placerville. Follow Icehouse Road for approximately 28 miles until you hit the Loon Lake road which goes to the right. Follow it about another 4 miles until you cross the second Loon Lake dam, which puts you at what is called the spillway. You are now at the start of the Rubicon.

Know Before You Go
Tips for getting ready for the Rubicon Trail
Before you ride the Rubicon Trail, here are some things you should know before you go.
1. WHERE? It's easy to find the trail heads, but hard to find the trail (it's not well marked). Get a map; use GPS. Read more here.
2. WHEN? When to go? Drive it when it's dry. You don't need a permit nor a reservation. Read more here.
3 WHAT? Go prepared (and with food and supplies). It takes two days to do it right. Read more here.
4. FISH and CAMP? Yes, you can fish in the lakes and streams, but keep your rig at least 300 feet away from water sources, especially Spider Lake (it's closed to vehicle camping). Read more here.
5. CAMPING? Camp only where camping has occured before and park within the trail right of way (50 feet of centerline). Respect private property; be courteous to other campers. Read more here.
6. MAPS and BOOKS? Get a good book about the Rubicon (or a map) FIRST. Get one here.

7. RIG MODS? Make sure your rig is right for the Rubicon -- vehicle minimum modifications here.
8. FOTR? Join the Friends of the Rubicon (FOTR) and stay abreast of projects and trail updates. Learn more and join here.
9. HUMAN WASTE? Pack it in; pack it OUT -- including your human waste. Sanitation shut down Spider Lake. Read more here.
10. ROC? Learn about the Rubicon Oversight Committee -- the folks who manage the Rubicon Trail for El Dorado County. Read more here.



11.
COPS on the 'CON! We have law enforcement vehicles and officers on the Rubicon. Obey the law; don't drink and drive; stay on the trail or get busted. Read more here.

12. DONATE to HELP? You can help keep the Rubicon Trail open by donating to the tax deductible Rubicon Trail Foundation. Read more here.
