Well it's the kind of question you ask of a wheeler who often leaves his rig on the side of the trail and says "I can't make that with this truck". Didn't know if you were going to fly out there and ride along or drive out there and ride along. Gee, is the question really that mind boggling for you? Have you heard that air traveling is safe, affordable, and convenient?

I have ordered my bags from Outback Toilets http://www.outbacktoilets.com/ Have you.....?


We need to talk about food too....

I will make Girl Scout Omlettes for everyone both mornings, Saturday and Sunday (if were are still on the trail)

The ingredients are:
eggs
peppers
green onions
kielbasa
cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

If ther is anything you don't like. Let me know now.

I will have everything I need except for a camp stove. Rocks, Sewie and DRTY are bringing theirs.

Anyone else bringing a stove???

For lunch we'll be on our own foodwise.

For Dinner, Rocks and I were talking about Kabobs. These can be made up ahead of time. Otherwise just bring your favorite meat, and cook it up. Great opportunity for marinading.

Remember, we cannot have a fire on the Rubicon.

I made one of my favorite dishes tonight. Aunt Betty's potatoes in the Dutch oven. (I've never done it on a grill in a dutch oven before) Now I have concrete potatoes to clean out of the bottom of the dutch oven. :( The top layer was really good though! I made them when Adam was at my house visiting, but thank heavens they weren't stuck to the bottom of the dish!

What's everyone's favorite Dutch oven recipe? We can cook a couple on the trail.

Mine is definitely my breakfast caserole. Sausage, bacon, hashbrowns and eggs. The eggs are scrambled and poured on top of the other ingredients so it mixes inbetween all the other stuff. Tobasco tops it off nicely. Milk chaser. Coffee to finish.

Here is the latest. I am still in Moab as scheduled. We are leaving tomorrow to return to Albuquerque as previously planned. The dealer in Albuquerque will try and have mine repaired on Friday, if they have all the parts required. Will be covered under the GMPP. If they can repair it Friday and not need to order parts, I will still be on schedule for the Rubi. Saturday I leave for the Grand Canyon then to Phoenix. One day in each place gives me the time to get to the Rubi. If they have to order parts, the earliest that I will leave Albuquerque is Tuesday.:crying: :( :crying:

Plan for two nights.The trail can be done in two days. It is safer to leave the extra day just in case of breakdowns, slow going trail traffic, trail blockages etc. (We were there for two nights in July)

This trail requires a certain amount of flexibility. I totally understand winging it would be tough with the little ones.

Allllll righty then. I'll plan on spending two nights in the new Tent-aroo. Then I won't have to worry about a room at the end of the trail until I'm actually off of it. :) I'd rather stop and camp somewhere earlier in the evening, than get off the trail after dark and have to worry about somewhere to stay. I'm assuming it's okay to pitch a tent anywhere along the trail. California. UGH! This is out of my comfort zone!;)

I'll be flexible! I promise! Thanks for the info.

I just finished a one hour shower. Can't believe the dust that is all over, in and around my body and truck. Flares took a beating. Popped the center perf grill when I slammed on my winch. Never used it so much in one day.

Looking back, I'm glad it's done, now I don't have to go back. The absolute most technical and difficult wheeling I have ever done with this truck.

It was great meeting all my new friends. Food furnished by Each Morning I Love You. Outstanding. My wife enjoyed the camaraderie. Jeepers were considerate for the most part. I think they were amazed More then anything else. We are driving mostly stock vehicles. My mods are 37" MTR, Fabtech tie rods, rubber duck ucp. I heard one jeeper say that his cost $58,000! He could of had an H2.

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?

Last night around 10:15 ET is when we started getting calls.

I can't see the pics on that web site posted earlier.

Sounds like you all had a great time. Now go take a shower and watch out for the hidden spiders in your trucks.:giggling:

BTW, nice driveway pic, DRTY.:giggling:

Tah2oe, I would like to make another run in thru the Tahoma to Rubicon Springs. Let me know when you are wanting to go, I'll go with!

It's no where near as difficult as it is from Loon to Spider Lake or Spider Lake to Rubicon Springs, we can camp at Rubicon Springs and come back out.

Who else wants to go :giggling: :giggling: :giggling: :giggling:

Tah2oe, I believe the silver Jeep with the family passed us just after we broke camp for that day. Really nice family.. :)

It depends on if it is before or after I retire!:excited:

It was well worth the trip.

When I was packing the truck at your house this morning, I noticed the Right rear sway bar link was broken. I am in Sparks, NV and seems like I am in 4 wheel lock. I might run by the local dealer tomorrow for them to have a quick look. They don't have a link in stock.

My wife and I had a great time with our new friends. Anytime anyone heads to the Right coast, make sure you contact me. Would love to see everyone again.

Thanks for Dirty doing a great job of leading, spotting, rock stacking and being a general pain in the ass. It was great meeting you.

Beebee for organizing this. just remember, when we are on the trail, sleeping is a no no. No matter how late it gets.

Finally and family, keep your daughter under careful watch, my wife loved her. Great spotting and driving.

Doc and family & friends, it was great meeting and wheeling with you.

Rox, we meet again and did we do it right! We now are the owners of the First Official Triple Crown, Paragon the best in the East, Moab the most scenic of anywhere I have been so far in the country, and finally and without hesitation that I say the most difficult, technical, frustrating, tiring, truck battlefield and the Crown Jewel of all off-road trails, The Rubicon Trail. Incredible!:beerchug:

Sewie, excellent spotting and driving. Great meeting you.

Shagster, what can I say? You got to the end.

Great group dynamics.:clapping:

What's next?

They don't have a link in stock.If it's a t-case issue, call me and I'll tell you how to manually change the t-case gears to 4-hi. Very easy and you only need a 10mm wrench and a pair of pliers.

Sounds like you all had a great time. I hope there wasn't too much damage and too much pulling of the non-HUMMERS. And I really hope there wasn't any crying.

Congrats and hope to see some of you in Moab next year.:excited:

I am in 4 wheel hi, but when I do a full lock turn at parking speed, feels like the wheels want to go straight.

There was no :crying: because there was no one but us holding us up. And no hostility towards us.

Glad you all had a great trip and all made it home safe. Sorry I could not make it!!

I consoled myself Friday by having a huge BBQ Lunch at a friends 4wd Shop and then continued the food fest throughout the weekend with my Wife as we cleaned out the junk from the Garage!

Looking forward to seeing more Pics!

What's next?Great to see you again too Oldman! I loved getting to visit with your wife this time! Awesome gal!

I think we should do Deadwood Forest (or whatever it's called) in the Dakotas. Maybe next summer? I can bring the family again, and Theresa even wants to go see that. Now that I have a tent, the possibilities are endless.:D
Have a great trip home, and post pics of your adventures along the way!

SO, how many are going so far?
How many will be going through Denver?
How many are flying in and shipping their trucks?
Does anyone want to go but cannot get their truck out here?
