Hummer (http://autos.msn.com/browse/Hummer.aspx) officials, notably women engineers and female public relations officials, accompanied this first all-women Hummer excursion. Previous off-road Hummer groups had been predominantly male—men make up the majority of the automotive press corps, after all.
This is the group that I posted about the week before we went to the Rubicon.

I've been off-roading pretty regularly for the last dozen years in a variety of sport-utility vehicles and trucks. My driving partner for the first day, writer and former racer Denise McCluggage of Santa Fe, New Mexico, also has steady off-road driving experience in a variety of vehicles.
She wheels....

Denise and I took in the scenery—stands of tall trees, water trickling across the trail. We were starting to relax when our group came to a sudden stop. Other off-roaders approached from the opposite direction.
They were hardly what we expected to see on the Rubicon Trail: young guys driving military Humvees. We pulled over as best we could to let them pass. They were dirty and dusty in their doorless, roofless barebones vehicles. I felt embarrassed sitting on leather seats in the bright red H3 with the air conditioning on. I got out to watch them go by.

I think this is where they ran into Josh Hall and his group of trainees.



Cadillac Hill was such a strenuous exercise this day that we managed to go only 0.8 mile in an hour and a half of driving. Journalist Sue Mead later got a flat tire but limped her H3 to the rocky bluff where we ate lunch the day before. During lunch the tire was replaced.


Other vehicles had damage, too. The outside mirror on one H3 dangled down onto the passenger door. It had been whacked when the SUV got too close to a tree. Another H3 had a fog light in front knocked out of its socket, evidently whacked by a rock. There were more than one dented tailpipe. And everything, even the leather seats and dashboards of the H3s, was coated by fine dust.

Carnage......lets see some PICS!!! :giggling:


I hope H2BULLY, H2Rocks, Kira, h2Copilot and I all get invited on the next all Woman Rubicon HUMMER excursion!

Pleeease. They drove down Cadillac Hill and back up the next day and they call that wheeling the Rubicon. It's a bumpy dirt road between Tahoe and Cadillac. Whats really sad about this is it took them all day to drop down into Rubicon Springs. If they thought that was wheeling, could you imagine what they would do if they went past the springs? :lame:

[HummBebe]

Well, H2Bully and I went from Loon to Wentwoth, Wentworth to Spider, and Spider to Loon, dossat count?????

And I've been meaning to ask you, Isn't Spider Lake still closed? And did you really swim in it?

[HummBebe]

You can camp and swim, you just can't park near it.

[Urban Ops]

Do you know WHY it was closed originally?

[HummBebe]

I have a PETT thank you. And I'm not talking about my Beagle. :D

[HummBebe]

When we went we had Scott Emmons with us. He is one of the Rubicon Trail Patrol members. Uber cool guy.

He kept us on the trail and in compliance at all times.

I did a ton of research about the 'Con and it's recent history. I met Randii and Ken few weeks ago at a RNR barbeque.

I have a great deal of respect for what these men and many others like them have done to keep the 'Con open.

We would never do anything to jeopardize that.

Just sayin':D

I was never in any way implying you were doing anything wrong. I just know I would never swim in that lake after hearing AND seeing the problem. HEHE.

Why not? We had to hike up through Little Sluice, almost killed myself, but the water was warm and clear.....a great time!!! So worth it.

[Urban Ops]

Why not?


Because you're swimming in a toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:twak:

[westhillsat]

Cool article Bebe, at least getting some good press for the H3 :)

But they need to have the Queen of the 3'rs show them how to wheel :D

[DRTYFN]

Whats really sad about this is it took them all day to drop down into Rubicon Springs. If they thought that was wheeling, could you imagine what they would do if they went past the springs? :lame:

They would have stroked out and had to call for a helicopter rescue.

14 days, bitches.:excited::excited::excited::excited:

what frightens the crap out of me is ...

...

... what if, when wheeling, the women join in the pee wars. society could dissolve very quickly.

[Agriv8r]

great post for the girls until the toilet and pee war issue took over.

great job ladies:excited:
