Good question, I’d have to go back through the thread and see.How many Jeeps are planning on July 11 run?
If you go up hwy 50 the closest gas station will be the fresh pond chevronI’ve reserved a campsite at the Northshore campground near Loon Lake for the night of the 10th.
Anybody know how close a gas station is to that spot?
I see it, thanks.If you go up hwy 50 the closest gas station will be the fresh pond chevron
I plan to drop my tow rig at the Tahoe side staging area then I’ll take 50 around to loon lake. I’ll probably get fuel at the Silver Fork store as I won’t have to travel past the road to loon lake.No problem. Will you guys be coming up that way? I might try and make on the trail if it's an open run
Awesome @mvigo sounds great.@Apparition, looks like the stars have aligned and I can join you on your Rubicon trip. Again, I would meet you Sunday AM at Loon Lake Staging area as I am coming off the trail. We can PM next week to sort out the details...
Was looking forward to it but saw why. Hope all is well.I'm out.
it was pretty warm up there this weekend wasn’t it? Glad you got to experience the ‘Con, are you still going to visit Yosemite?Completed my bucket list item of the Rubicon.
Thanks @mvigo for guiding us and for being an awesome guy to hit the trail with.
Really enjoyed the trail it is a beautiful area and I can see why people love it. I hope all jeepers that want to take the time and make it a priority to come out and do it.
I plan to come back and do it again maybe in a couple years and hopefully can get a few more members to join.
The Jeep got a little beat up ended up rolling a rock up and over the rear wheel but not too bad of damage. The skids all held up but have battle scars to show for it.
I turtled myself on one unnecessary obstacle and got stuck on a rear diff hanger on another but other than those the Jeep performed well.

Hot yesterday, one of the things to improve is my cooling system, had to let it cool down a couple times. No issues with the cooler weather today.it was pretty warm up there this weekend wasn’t it? Glad you got to experience the ‘Con, are you still going to visit Yosemite?
