[get r done]

how many people are going to the rubicon on memorial weekend? im going up around 11:00 am on friday. it seems a lot of people are going to moonrocks. but i rather go to the snow then have a bunch of dust and dirt bikes and quads running around my camp all day. so im heading to the con. anyone else going?

Are you talking about Memorial Weekend?  If you are I think most of the people on this board are going to stay off of the Con till atleast June and more like July.  Some friends and myself are going to Fordyce for Memorial.  I don't know how it's gonna be, I've never been but should be a good time.

Posts: 1  Stay Off the Trail !!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who think they are above the law, and those who think they are too good to listen. STAY OFF THE TRAIL over MEM DAY, there have been tons of reports saying it is covered in snow and I have seen both sides for myself and agree!!!!!

It is LATE SPRING BREAKUP, you don't have a chance of making DUST so STAY OFF THE TRAIL!!!!!!!! Help preserve the trail for the future, help FOTR keep the fools off our backs!!!

Overcome your will and do what is best for ALL OF US instead of being selfish bafoons and only doing what is right for you!!!!!!! STAY OFF THE TRAIL!!!!!!

Don't like what I am saying? To bad, no one else has stood up and said it so blatently, so I have stepped up to the plate!!!!!


STAY OFF THE TRAIL!!!!


Can you hear me yet?

[get r done [OP]]

yea we hear u but.......  im still going up there to have a good time. that doesnt mean that im going up there to run over trees or make my own rubicon trail. some of us arent idiots and know how to tread lighty and still have fun. so u say u have seen the trail on both sides? how? did u go up there? if so why didnt u wait till u could make dust? or did u see pics of when someone went up there? did u say the same thing to them? or was it ok for them to be on the trail because there were taking pics? just some small ? for ya. And for above the law bull sh*t. its not against the law to go up there. it has been open since i believe May 1st.

I ran the rubicon last weekend on my quad runner.  It had a fair amount of snow but will mostly be gone with the rain from the other day.  I had no problem getting to the little sluice.

thanks for the report..are u going there memorial?

[cruzila]

The post was from PBB. so the q's will go unanswered I bet. Bottom line. If you go be cool don't tear it up and have fun.

I'll be home. I went when the snow was deep and am now waiting for Rubithon. Or uhh, snowbithon. Hopefully not like last year.
