Rubicon Run 2K6
We're going the weekend of October 5-8(Thursday-Sunday).
We'll be starting at Loon Lake and doing the whole trail. Hopefully, by going so late, we won't have to deal with any mosquitos.
Let me know if you're interested in going, as this will be going private soon.
Just think - you can lean into this wall, too.  |

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
Since I am leaving Friday, I need to get my gear together this weekend. What temps can we expect at night? Need to know what to prepare for.

Are you still planning on going?
I-5 = 607 miles and roughly 10 hrs (prolly more like 8 or 9)
I-5 is definitely faster, and cut over to Chico and head down the highway to Auburn and across to Georgetown. Bebe, does that sound like the best way to avoid traffic delays?
The shortest route on the map is straight down highway 395 to Redding and then down thru Chico and over. Calculates to 587 miles and 11 hrs on the GPS. I know this route is slower with more windie roads. (is windie a word?  )

If you are thinking I-5 to Hwy 99 (Chico) to Hwy 70 (Marysville) to Hwy 20 (Grass Valley) to Hwy 49 (Auburn) to Hwy 193 (Georgetown)???
Ick! Small 2 lane farm roads with lots of trucks doing 45 mph. (and tractors that dart across the hiway  )
You would save time on I-5 to I-80 to Hwy 49 to Hwy 193. Traffic on Thursday really is not that bad.
(Fridays are a nightmare with all the Bay Area peeps going to Tahoe.)
When I came up to OR in April, there was road construction all the way up I-5. Should be clear by now. Still took me 10 hours to Hillsboro.
Traffic will be bad coming in to Sacramento during rush hour from Business 80 to Roseville, then it clears up. And, rush hour here is short. Say from 4:30 to 6PM.
Otherwise Take I-5 to Hwy 20 (Colusa) thru Marysville/Yuba City, to Hwy 65 (Rocklin) to I-80 E , to Hwy 49 (Auburn), to Hwy 193 (Georegetown). The small hiways going thru have traffic and stop lights thru town.
Hope that helps.
I could have just said no....go this way...

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
Thanks for the directions. I took 395 down to Reno and it was very nice. I am not sure if I am going, I might have to wait until next year.
