Rubicon on Aug.15
« on: Aug 19, 2011, 06:25:26 PM »
Ran the Con from Loon to the top of Old Sluice and back to Loon. We camped, fished, ate, fished and wheeled. Weather was great. Only problem was we had a bear sneak into camp on Monday night and scared the crap out of me. I was sleeping without a tent and it woke me up going through a cooler 10ft from me  :shocking:

Little Sluice. The pinnacle of my trip  :driving: I wont call it a complete success. I had to get pulled sideways by a Jeep on the last big rock were you pivot around it. My long a$$ wheelbase wouldn't let me do it. Strangely enough, that Jeep that winched me, also said if I tried it he would too. That group took off so fast after I finished all I could do was shake hands through their windows  :slap:

The camera was always in my truck! I'll see if John has any on his camera.

I gave up trying to save the sheet metal. I'll just keep it from getting too bad and try not to brake any more windows :) This truck is what I take out my frustration on and I love her, she keeps kicking ;) Im debating whether or not to try it again. I see what I did wrong on the first spot so thats not terrible but the second spot is one hell of a tight turn :(
