hahaha I am on the 'A' list

[MiniSimp]

I doubt he'll watch for a second time.

I'll be following him.

[mudaddict]

[BLACKDOG]

man that is early wakin but it will be well worth it!

No kidding   I think Mark may need to use his winch to get me outta bed   I'm thinking I may just sleep in my truck 

[4RnrRick]

Getting up early is a piece o cake.... the problem is trying to get packed up quickly and everything strapped back on the vehicle!

So is the plan to get to the Springs Friday night? or anywhere else on the trail?

[Lady Di]

The plan is going to be to try to get to the spring by Fri. evening, but that will all depend on the circumstances. We did it last year in about 6 hours but that was just straight driving through, hauling butt pretty much it seemed, we didn't stop to play much at all. The only time we stopped was at soup bowl, I think it was.

we didn't even see Little Sluice didn't even know we passed it. I didn't know any of what we did. We were following Angelo from the shop and just kept going.

Yup... are you going to do it, Yotaboy?

[79coyotefrg]

I'll be there in spirit,

Thats totally understandable.... I've only been on the 'Con once and we did the first part from the Gate Keeper to Little Sluice in the Dark (thank god for rock lights). So it would be nice to see what that part of the trail even looks like in the day light. But now with 20+ rigs in this group, thats really going to slow things down if people get out and take pictures at every fun spot.... Sure a picture or two would be no big deal - but having everyone get out to take picture sof everyone at the same location is another story. And that doesn't include carnage or traffic, which can REALLY slow things down. It would be nice if we only have to setup up camp once on the trail (at the springs) instead of moving camp each day.

Anyways I was just curious - I'm just planning on following the crowd.

[BLACKDOG]

I don't care if we don't make it to the springs the first night.  seems like it would be more fun to take our time, play around, find a nice spot to camp kinda early (Buck Island ) and kick back and hang out then finish the trip into the springs on sat.  and hang out and wheel with the people there some ? 

It doesn't really matter to me, but we've got essentially 2 days to  get to the springs, no need to hurry

[mudaddict]

i agree with bd on that one! we dont have to be at the springs until sat night really so we ahve plenty of time.

[*FFC*]

Last year we had Us, Yotaboy, what was his name in the yellow yota? Tony?

Yellow Yota... Overrev?


MrsW... I have a decent size frying pan if you have another burner and I can bring some pre-chopped and seasoned potatoes if you have the space to cook em   Just lemme know

[Rocksurfer]

Look out or you're gonna drop those eggs!

BigMike is planning on camping at Buck Lake Friday too, so that might be fun. We'll be following everyone else. I agree that there is no need to rush and it would be more fun to make it an adventure.

Yeah, that was it Overrev, he was really cool, anyone know what happend to him? He said he was going to travel around some.
We've got the propane grill as well as the stove in the LBC so we'll have plenty of room, that would be great!!   But no green peppers in your taters please! Vegetable of satan!   
(or you can have them, just let us know, we won't eat the taters)

This is going to be GREAT!!!

[Lady Di]

I didn't even realize last year that we did it so fast that we didn't even actually experience the area at all.
Not that I didn't appreciate getting to the springs as quickly as we did (I just wanted to get out of the Mammoth, I wasn't an happy camper, but this year will be different)
But it would be way more cool to get some pics and vid, and I would love to see Buck Lake (island?)
We have a Buck Lake in Ocala NF.

You got it.... Onions okay?

[Lady Di]

Are they vidalia's?

[Rocksurfer]

We used to spend a couple nights at Spider go swimming, cliff diving and I have an inflatable raft and we'd take it on the lake, sucks we can't do that anymore

[*FFC*]

Are they vidalia's?

Are they who?

Niki said after mine there was only a couple spots left. $25 a day tent site, $25 a day to leave tow rig there, Ima probly camp koa and tow to Robbs and vice versa on the way out. Robbs is $5 a day storage on tow rig/trailers plus its only 8 miles out from the trailhead

So you're going to be KOAing again too? It's the goats isn't it? You couldn't resist the lure of the goats.       

We got a couple more for breakfast, FFC!    btw- vidalia is a sweet onion. It's really good, I won't use anything but sweet onions anymore. I'll have some with us if you want to use that.

Someone here said they reserved a RV site for tent camping, I'm sure there would be plenty of room to share some space and split the cost.

[4RnrRick]

Ima probly camp koa and tow to Robbs and vice versa on the way out. Robbs is $5 a day storage on tow rig/trailers plus its only 8 miles out from the trailhead.

How many other people doing this? I'm not towing - I'm driving - but my buddy that is comming with me "Elotsip" will be towing his sami down there and I recommended "http://dorobbs.com/".

Also can anyone tell me the fastest way to get back there once you exit out of the Rubicon Trail at Lake Tahoe??? I'm having a heck of a time figuring that out on crappy internet maps.

I see that he started a seperate post here to discuss the plan for tow rigs: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=26674.0

[KYOTA]

Rick if your going out thru Tahoe your better off just heading for Reno and then 395 North to 5 then  Oregon. Going back to Placerville from Tahoe is way out of the way

[Ramrod]

you can also take 89 to 80 to 5 pretty easy because the trail ends right on 89 on the side of the lake
