Rubicon Run 2K6

[DRTYFN]

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.:D

[Bully13]

I'll put my request in when I go in tomorrow. Can't wait! :D

[HummBebe]

MEE TOO!!!!:D

[HummBebe]

DRTY hates teh bugs:p

[Sewie]

Just think - you can lean into this wall, too.:D

Yeah, I think we all left a little fender on that one. :eek: :D

I just might have to go again. :D :D

[DRTYFN]

My first time through was at night. That was less than fun.

[HummBebe]

WTF????
That's it?? 4 trucks???

WUSSES!!!!

[KenP]

WTF????
That's it?? 4 trucks???

WUSSES!!!!There may be passengers.;)

[HummBebe]

SWEET!!

[DRTYFN]

My buddy is bringing his rock rig, Cranky might make it, and the re might be a couple of others. A small group will be better.

Cranky HAS to make it:)

[KenP]

SWEET POTATOES!!Why do you say that?;)

[OldHiker]

I think I might be able to make it. I will be in Moab with the Hummer Club in September. Planning on being out there about a month.

Is this camping only or are there hotels? The reason I ask, I don't think I'll have enough room for the camping gear on this trip.

[HummBebe]

We will most likely camp at least one night. Maybe two.

[Sewie]

Is this camping only or are there hotels?

Once you're on the trail, camping only.

[HummBebe]

I just might have to go again. :D :D


It's cute how you think you have a choice:D

[The Green Lantern]

Hopefully, I have my other 4x4 by then! :D

[Cranky Steve]

I'll do my best to make it! :D

Hot Showers in trade for food :cool:

[HummBebe]

I'll do my best to make it! :D

Deal...Bebe's Rubicon Chicken?:D

[Jesus Christ]

You know I'll be there...

[yoke]

wow, can i go too?

[dochummer]

I would love to go. Just never quite sure with the 3 kids.... :) Feel free to pencil me in.

What about Rox and Dennis?

[HummBebe]

wow, can i go too?

Of course. All are invited.

[ROX]

:D Good thing I saw this thread in time! Whew! I'd have hated to miss this one.
I hope my car is fixted. Maybe I'll just drive the dang dealer loaner:eek: :D

Ken, it'd be awesome if you two could make it!!!!111

[Big Z]

Lookin for a place to Park the camper! :)...Any Ideas?...Anyway, Hope to Make This One! :cool: List Me! :D

[DennisAJC]

wow, can i go too?

You can go, but I don't like whites.

Get it? Get it?:D


I'm in. And maybe get a free chiro session with doc.:D

[OldHiker]

You know I'll be there...

Make sure your buddy Mel stays home.:mad:

[OldHiker]

As of right now, we will be there. Need some info.

When will everyone arrive?
Where is everyone staying the night before?
Food for this trip - pack it in or is it available.
Are shields suggested? In the East it is highly reccommended.This will be an awesome trip for me - My son's wedding, then Moab, Grand Canyon and then finish up on the Rubicon. Life's looking good!:D

[HummBebe]

Lookin for a place to Park the camper! :)...Any Ideas?...Anyway, Hope to Make This One! :cool: List Me! :D
Loon Lake has plenty of parking at the Loon Lake Chalet. It really depends, the trail is one way. In at Loon, out at Lake Tahoe. You will have to drive back to Loon to pick up your Camper.
It's up to you.

Here are some good sites to use for information:

http://www.rubicon-trail.com/

and

http://www.rubicontrail.com/

and

http://www.delalbright.com/Rubicon/rubicon.htm

I'd say this one is the best.:)

[HummBebe]

As of right now, we will be there. Need some info.
When will everyone arrive? Thursday

Where is everyone staying the night before? Hotels or Camping in the Georgetown Area or Placerville Area
Food for this trip - pack it in or is it available. On the trail is Camping only, it is very remote, it is real wilderness style. No bathrooms, no showers.
Are shields suggested? In the East it is highly reccommended. Shields may help minimize any tree damage, but it won't prevent rock rash. Expect damage rock rails, UCP, skid plates, bumpers, and vehicle corners.This will be an awesome trip for me - My son's wedding, then Moab, Grand Canyon and then finish up on the Rubicon. Life's looking good!:D

Looking really good1!!!!!

[dochummer]

Are shields suggested? In the East it is highly reccommended.

We call them athletic supports or cups in the west. They're not required but I know that dennis always wears one when he's around drty for some reason... :D

I think you mean buttplug. DRTYFN's an ass packer.

[Donkey_Kong]

I've wheeled for 6 months by getting my broke H3 drug around. That makes me an authority on offroading.

Shush you.

[HummBebe]

Coward....yellow coward.:)

[DennisAJC]

I would love to go. Just never quite sure with the 3 kids.... :) Feel free to pencil me in.

What about Rox and Dennis?

The convoy is going to make the drive quite interesting.;) :D

Check your PM.

[KenP]

Ken, it'd be awesome if you two could make it!!!!111Child issues to deal with, but we want to come.

We'll figure things out and go from there. Maybe fly into Portland.:D

[KenP]

Shields may help minimize any tree damage, but it won't prevent rock rash. Expect damage rock rails, UCP, skid plates, bumpers, and vehicle corners.Hiker wheels more than most anyone here, and in more places. I'm sure he's just wondering about tree rash, as the trails out here are cut for Heeps. He'll beat the crap out of the unseen parts of his truck.:D :eek: :D

[KenP]

The convoy is going to make the drive quite interesting.;) :D Maybe we'll fly into Seattle then.:eek:

Maybe Vancouver.:eek: X2

[DennisAJC]

Maybe we'll fly into Seattle then.:eek:

Maybe Vancouver.:eek: X2

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!:D

[dochummer]

Hey Drty, will the wheeling be on the 5th-8th or are you planning on leaving the 5th then wheelling the 6th-7th and back on the 8th? :)

[ROX]

Maybe we'll fly into Seattle then.

Maybe Vancouver.:eek: X2You Said Portland first!;) :(

Rock rash and fender dents, OH MY!:eek: Those pics with H3's on the trail made it look really super narrow. Jamming an H2 thru there is going to be interesting. Who's got an H1 to go first?;)

[Sewie]

Rock rash and fender dents, OH MY!:eek: Those pics with H3's on the trail made it look really super narrow. Jamming an H2 thru there is going to be interesting.

Who me? Never..... http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/devil03.gif

No, I just almost took off one of Bebe's door handles with my stellar spotting abilities. I swear it wasn't on purpose. :rolleyes: :D

[h2co-pilot]

Hey Drty, will you be piking on the 5th-8th or are you planning on piking the 5th then piking the 6th-7th and pike on the 8th? :)

Fixizzled.

[Donkey_Kong]

I can make it. Please include me in the plans.

[OldHiker]

Need to get some dates down. Ken, if you are planning on driving, we can probably meet up.

Now all I have to do is figure out when I am going home.

[dochummer]

Fixizzled.

:D

[Cranky Steve]

You all wil have a blast! But you must be fully willing to accept the fact there is a 99.9% chance of body damage.

Even if i personly can't make it (To soon to know my schedule for Oct, I have a full list of projects i need to finnish before Winter), Rock-N-Roll 4x4 will be on hand to fully support the trip and make sure everyone gets through safely.

Gawd i hope i will be able to make this! I have always found the Boat launch at Discovery Park on a Weekend provides endless hours of Entertainment, but this trip will top that. :D

Here are some links to assimulate you to the Con and the USFS use parameters:

Thanks Cranky, this is really important stuff! Everyone should know that this trail is the Crown Jewel of four wheeling.

I don't want to create any drama here, but we need to realize that wheeling the 'Con has a lot of responsibility, or more importantly, an need for common sense.

I know we all are conciensious wheelers, so I'm not worried, but please take the time to read through this. It really is important.:)

[HummBebe]

Stop hyperventilating.;) It's just a (tough)trail that happens to have lots of enviro-lurking tattle-tales.

[Donkey_Kong]

I'm such an e-wheelin drama pro.:)

Shut it newb. :rolleyes: What makes you think wheelin and busting your junk for a few months elevates you to the ranks of the real vetrans here? Keep your e-drama to yourself and be quiet like you are when out on the trail. Leave the advice to the real pros.

[ROX]

Dinky Kong: Don't be a piece of crap and ruin the fun threads. If I ever find out who you are, expect my size 10 boot up you butt. K? Lay off my friend Bebe too. I wish the mod would ban you.:mad:

x3 on the ban request! :mad:

Bebe is one of the best people on this forum. :) She is an active wheeler who is very aware of the impact we have on the environment and what is necessary to help preserve that environment for future generations on wheelers.

You, Donky Kong, are merely an AE for a coward. We don't need, or want you here. You bring the suck. :mad:

[Sewie]

x3 on the ban request! :mad:



Have another look. He's already been banned. ;)

I plan on traveling/arriving on Thursday, starting the trail bright & early Friday morning and being done & off the trail either late Saturday or early Sunday.

[Sewie]

Where's Georgetown? I'll probably be down on Wednesday afternoon if we're hitting the trail on Thursday.

It's between Sac and South Lake Tahoe. Probably 45-60 mins to trailhead. Not sure exactly since I came in a different way. Bebe would know.

The black line from Loon Lake to 89 is the Rubicon.

[HummBebe]

Georgetown in on 193.

You'll take 80 E, to 49 s, to 193 s. Tis easy

Aren't you teh Garmin Queen????;):D

[ROX]

Aren't you teh Garmin Queen????;):DWhy yes, yes I am. But I figured it's only August and I wouldn't get too excited about putting all the info in it yet.:rolleyes: :D

[dochummer]

Hey Rox, is it faster for me to drive through the middle of oregon or head to portland first? I think the map showed almost a 100 mile difference...but wasn't sure about the roads...

[ROX]

Hey Rox, is it faster for me to drive through the middle of oregon or head to portland first? I think the map showed almost a 100 mile difference...but wasn't sure about the roads...I can find out a time differential for you, but my advise would be to take 395 one way at least because it will be so much more scenic.:)

[DRTYFN]

I can find out a time differential for you, but my advise would be to take 395 one way at least because it will be so much more scenic.:)
Definitely take 395 - it's a great little highway(not freeway) with tons of scenery.

My mapping software says 231-395-207-395-193
Not sure about the little jaunt on 207, so it's your call.

[dochummer]

Hmm.... you guys will probably be running straight down I-5 right?

[DRTYFN]

Hmm.... you guys will probably be running straight down I-5 right?
Nope. 5-58-97-395
I might change that, so stay tuned.

[CO Hummer]

[ASTAR]

You guys are planning to go from Goergetown? If you stay in Placerville, you can just head up 50 to Icehouse Rd and head in from there. Much better accomodations in Placerville. I might be up for the trip but I'll likely bring my jeep and just offer help and support. I will also let a few other Hummer owners know about this.

I think Georgetown is about 20 miles closer to the Loon Lake entrance.

Your rig is so set up for the Rubi, why not bring the H2???

[ASTAR]

Its just too new and I know a spot where brush scratches are unavoidable...
Black shows that too much! :)

I've still got a big scratch on my roof from my last Rubicon trip in '03.

[dochummer]

I'd take a scratch over actual metal/body damage any day... :) Don't be a wimp, just go...I've got black too...I'll go first, then you'll see what kind of scratch is coming up when it's your turn... :)

Yep. We'll be crapping in bags. But we should have one of these (http://www.thepett.com/) so its not that bad.

Yes. Although some might still want theirs packed in.:OWNED:

No way I'd be packing it out. Just through it on top of DRTY's rig. He'll never notice.

[HummBebe]

And to get "WAG" bags, you can order on line from http://www.outbacktoilets.com/ because they fully support FOTR and the RTF, and donate big time to keeping the Rubicon open, so please give them the business to show we appreciate their support of our hobby and the Con.

That is all, now back to the regularly scheduled H* Banter ...... :beerchug:

[Cranky Steve]

And one more thing, please return the PETT sans any "Skid Marks" :giggling:

[CO Hummer]

I think you guys should wear Depends undergarments. Save the hassle.

[HummBebe]

ewww...:jump:

[CO Hummer]

If it were me, I might think about buying a load of that fake dog poop. Toss it in a baggie and carry it out. You'll get the accolades of the treehuggers without the disgusto factor.

[HummBebe]

You're just sick of having to set that hangar up. ;) :D

:jump: :beerchug:

[CO Hummer]

Technically, if you ate food that came from the Rubicon you wouldn't have to pack it out. I would think about eating small game and berries from alongside the trail.

[Sewie]

I think you guys should wear Depends undergarments. Save the hassle.

Maybe if I had the leather.

I think an accident on the cloth would just ruin the resale value. ;)

Just have to crush a stink bomb in there to make it a little more authentic. :jump:

[CO Hummer]

What I might do is to mark each #2 spot with a GPS waypoint. Then, on the way back i could stop and each spot, pick it up, and pack it out. It's good to think about these things.

[CO Hummer]

You know guys, if you eat a ton of meat tenderizer before you leave, you can justify leaving it on the trail as fertilizer.

[ROX]

I'm not going anymore. :mad: EEEWWWWWW!!!!

[CO Hummer]

Since the trip is so close, I suggest you guys start practicing. Do your business in the backyard, then "pack it out" by bringing in back into the house. Practice makes perfect.

You know what? You just keep your ass back in Denver.

Since you've had such a sh*tty education and all you can do is pick out relatively simple words from sentences I'll try to make this easier for your limited reading comprehension to grasp.

If the weather forecast says there is a 100% chance of HEAVY RAINS we will cancel the trip. A little bit of rain won't change anything.

Simple enough for you, turd? It's not like you're coming out to check out chicks or anything.

I think the yupterra would do fine when the trail turns into a river.

I set it up there because now it's on rocks, and I can get the feel for laying on a really hard bumpy surface before I go. Emma loves it! Weve been having a tea party.

There has been no rain the 1st week in October since 1985 :D

It will most likely be in the low to mid 80's. Bring shorts, and a suit so we can go swimmin':D

I want to go! :excited: I am getting the rock rails tomorrow and 35's in a couple of weeks. :)

I am serious about going. What route are you taking down there H2 Rocks!? Definitely want to know more details!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?:giggling:)

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:eek: )

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...:giggling:

If you plan any local off roading trips I would love to go. I have gone a couple of times in the Estacada area. Nice views, mud if you want, and a couple of rocky spots.

I was just up to Timothy Lake last week, and I live just a few miles from Estacada. Yes, I'll definitely call you next time I go up there.

Do you have lockers on your H3? You'll definitely need them, and be prepared for carnage.:rolleyes: :(

[H3slate]

I have the rear e-locker. The trails I went on had a lot of low hanging trees to scratch at the paint and some stumps to navigate. I utilized my ucp on a rock ledge I climbed at the end of the trail.

I won't be able to make it to Rubicon this time. :( Hope everybody has a great time!

No playing with the poop bags! :giggling:
