Why not head in Tahoe(tahoma) side for rubicon. Go to loon and then hit wentworth back to Tahoe. Sets you up for Fordyce in quicker time. Hardly any road time that way. You trailer down to Cisco grove on hwy 80. Decide whether to do top side of Fordyce or brave the whole trail. It's only 1 mile freeway time if you decide to tackle lower part of fordyce. No freeway if you want to do top side
