we've always started at the bottom (Cisco Grove?) and went all the way up to the squeeze. We could also start at Meadow lake and head down, camp and head back up? that may be good for leaving the tow rigs at Meadow lake instead of at the bottom. Anyone heard if there are still problems with rigs getting broken into at the parking area at Cisco?

same here, seems like we do Rubicon every time we come down, would like something different and besides we'll be coming back for the Roundup so 2 Con's back to back- meh

toss out some ideas, we have a month to get it set

Oh sounds good... well wherever we start we should just meet up and cruise in together.

Sounds good there... Im down for fordyce or rubicon. I hgavent been to fordyce in a while so thatd be cool with me... either way i want to get out and do some rocks instead of the snow, im bored of it

[Ramrod]

ill be down for fordyce way more than the rubicon if someone has a seat for me, or better off someone hook me up with $200 and some hole and ill hit both

going to check the funds in my bank and hopefully get some goodies ordered to get my truck back on the trail so i can haul some hole up on the bench seat

[Doof]

con is fun, but never been to fordyce so that would be sick to hit up

Nice thread jack

Take a stock front drive line up to Jesse at high angle and you can get it done for probably $200 (since steel prices went up) He clearances the cardan joint and retubes it with like3 times stronger then stock.

EIther that or you can take it to Eddie at EO Enterprises. He does it pretty cheap. Thats where kyle gets it done. I just dont know how much it is.

I just remembered that it was Memorial weekend last time we were there and went all the way up to Meadow lake (through the trail) and down the main road back to the highway. We barely made it out in our wheelers due to the 10' plus drifts across the road so taking tow rigs/trailers up to Meadow is going to be not doable unless ALOT of snow is gone by then. I really want to do Fordyce but not too keen on the parking sitch at Cisco because of past problems with break-ins I've read about.

 Any other solutions for secure parking for Fordyce?

other options:

Webilt guys are talking about Moonrocks -->awesome wheeling but can get boring for a long weekend. your tow rig/trailer is on site (good for security and having all your gear/spare parts right there)

Con--> Con is always fun and tow rig parking at the spillway is pretty safe. But like I said we'll be coming down again in Sept for the Roundup so back to back Con runs is kinda redundant.

just tossing out ideas - lets here yours! 

[BigMike]

wow

KYOTA, I think I am interested in this. I will keep watching this thread. I will not know if I can make it or not until after the 25th -- pending if I can get a lot of stuff down to my truck first.

BigMike

[KYOTA [OP]]

get after bud! I have a lot to do too but we have a month!

[BigMike]

I am pretty sure I will have everything except my on board air working by then, so I might have to borrow some power tank

Well if thats the case and you dont go to Fordyce then I will for SURE go to rubicon. Moonrocks looks fun but I dont really want to go there with the lack of protection i have to my truck and I dont want to destroy it doing trails that I will want to for sure do. So doing something I cant do in my truck isnt really that funin my book so that one is out for me at this point...

I say we just might as well go to Rubicon if we arent going to Fordyce.

I know Callen (sluice box hero) and Colby will be going there so we might as well also.

wow

You say that as if its my fault

[lilbuddy]

Ouch

 

Well Memorial weekend will be a good start to our Summer long adventures of wheelin

[KYOTA [OP]]

I'll make sure its full  8)


and I'll see what I can find out about the break ins if its still a problem there

Moonrocks looks fun but I dont really want to go there with the lack of protection i have to my truck and I dont want to destroy it doing trails that I will want to for sure do.

Moonrocks is pretty much guaranteed carnage 

[Doof]

if its moonrocks count me out... i dont want to go there jobless (breakage) and without adiquate protection. seems like a fun place, but im not down the bills after wards....

as if my opinion counts, im with lil buddy on this one... if not fordyce, then the con for sure

[BigMike]

I'll make sure its full  8)

Thanks buddy, I'll trade some for it

According to Google, Rainier to Cisco Grove is 706 mi (about 11 hours 3 mins). I figured you were closer.

246 mi for me

For secure parking you can leave your rigs at the campground at Cisco Grove, they charge a fee but at least it is secure.

The gas station in Cisco Grove will let you park in the lot just down below the pumps for free.  Not really secure but there are people around all the time.

Last year, before the trail was shut down, people were having problems parking at the trail- head - rigs getting broken into.  I don't park there.

[KYOTA [OP]]

thats what I found too, Cisco campground is $5 a day to park and is about a mile to the trailhead
