2024 unofficial Round Up chat
« on: Apr 17, 2024, 03:16:45 PM »
Hello Turtle Land!

We'd like to officially announce that for 2024 we are taking a hiatus: There will no no Round Up this year.

Last year was a great event, we pushed it earlier in the year by a month and by God's grace we were able to raise more $$ for the Rubicon Trail without being cancelled by forest fires (2020, 2021, 2022 all cancelled by fires!)

We'd like to give a HUGE shout-out to all of YOU who attend as well as the countless vendors that DONATE to the event, which made it possible to now eclipse $200,000 in donations to the Rubicon Trail!! :clap: :clap2:

In the mean time, there are two things you may do to kindle your own Round Up spirit this year:

  • We have heard of at least 3 groups who'll still be running the Rubicon this fall despite there not being an event, including one group coming down from Canada. The two weekends in particular are September 13-15 (Marlin's birthday weekend) and August 16-18 (equivalent "one month earlier"). If you're planning on running the 'con these weekends then please post up below and see if anyone is interested in join'n ya!

  • Join us in Celebrating Marlin's incredible life here in Fresno on Saturday, June 1st, at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds! We will all be there in our rigs along with The Crawler Truck for one last celebration for Marlin in what is shaping up to be a fun car & truck show/get together!
    Please click here for details: https://www.marlincrawler.com/marlin-celebration-of-life

We hope to see many of our friends in 2024 and thank you for the support through all these years in helping us give back to the off-road community!

Regards,
BigMike

We were planning on running with 4-6 rigs but had been waiting for an official date to be released.

Probably still gonna go, shooting for the Sept 13-15 date.

Is anyone wanting to go in August who has young kids? I’d be taking my two boys, 5 & 8.
