I was at Cadillac Hill on Saturday and made contact with the group for a while by CB radio. I did hear that H2 Rocks broke a tie rod. Too bad Adam wasn't there. I got to the top of Cadillac Hill around 11:30 am and hung out until 4:30 pm and could not get the group on the radio at that time. They said they were hoping to make it to Rubicon Springs by 5:30 pm that day. They would have had about 3 hours to make it out from there I would guess to the staging area on the Lake Tahoe side.

When I first made contact with the group Sewie gave me his GPS coordinates and they were only 1.8 miles as the crow flies from where I was at the top of Cadillac Hill.

I was heading back to the Lake by myself when I came upon a tight spot with a sharp right hand turn with a large boulder in the center of the turn. I got stuck on my drivers side undercarriage and thought I was screwed. This was about 5:30 pm and I had no winch with me. I stacked rocks and messed around for about an hour and then a jeep came by and strapped me off of it. This was the most built jeep I had ever seen and it was clean. I was so filthy from digging and stacking that I didn't get any pictures though.

I went back Sunday morning around 9:30 am almost all the way back to Cadillac Hill but could not get anyone on the radio so I headed out.

What time and what day did you guys make it out? It sounds like you came out on Sunday some time?
