Friends of the Rubicon Annual Meeting

[HummBebe]

Just returned from the Friends of the Rubicon Annual meeting.

There are three big projects this year.

Cadillac Hill:

Fixing the erosion caused by the bypass, then blocking the bypass.

This wiil include hauling rock from Barker Pass Rd. to the potato patch and the mud hole.

Re routing the water run off at Miller Creek (the big tree root section)

Big Sluice:

shoring upwhere the side of the trail is eroding and moving off to the side

Repairing the erosion of the first turn into the sluice

Buck Island Lake:

Blocking the bypass that goes down to the Lake, (this is actually the old trail and should no longer be used for water quality reasons)

Repairing the trail to the left by correcting the large fin, which causes many rollovers and is no longer safe for the majority of users.

The focus of the FOTR this year will be on Education, Route Designation Process, Sanitation, and Water Quality.


HUMMER received many accolades for the time and donations to the FOTR and the Rubicon Trail Foundation. I was proud to be there as a representative of HUMMER owners.

Among the donations received from the "Across the Rubicon" video, the Marketing and Engineering Divisions of GM.

I would like to thank on behalf of the FOTR, HUMMER of Sacramento, for donating several employees who participated in the August work weekend last year.

They worked their butts off and had the blisters to prove it.

It is my goal to have a group of HUMMER owners at each of the above mentioned work weekends.

Please contact me if you are interested in participating in the care an maintenance of one of the most prestigious trails in the nation.
