Marlin Crawler West Coast Roundup - RUBICON

[79coyotefrg]

Dallas, that would be cool, Looks like Rockwelled is coming from NC, are the TX guys going too? I was just checked the MCR4 page, #190 is from B.C., Canada.
I've got to finish putting my map together.

yep i was thinking we would cruise right into bakersfield on 40 then right up to fresno,     save some gas from climbing the tall mountains along NV CA border

[Lady Di]

good plan. MrW didn't like the idea of going over the rockies on the northern route. It might be a little longer, but if it avoids that climb (not that we don't have to climb to get to the Rubicon) it might save some $$ (although with diesel, I don't know if that makes a difference).
But it will be cooler to caravan anyway.

[Duffil]

in CA, diesel is higher than gas right now!

[Lady Di]

it is here too, well about the same as mid grade for the most part. But what I meant was as far as pushing the motorhome up over the mountains or taking the lower flatter route, I didn't know if that would make a difference fuel consumption wise with a diesel the way it would with a gas vehicle.
I know it would be WAY slow going trying to climb the rockies. We would have been going over Donner Pass.

Flatter land is better for all driving types.

[TrackVino]

Crawling isnt fun on flat ground 

[Hyena]

SU, i meant road driving with diesel, gas, motorhome, car, truck.  Stuff like that.     

[TrackVino]

Just a joke

[79coyotefrg]

[Lady Di]

[Lady Di]

from what I googled,

Now, this is just on Lake Tahoe mind you, but it looks like it's any where between 6000-8000'! HUH! should I be bringing oxygen??

dangit man!

[79coyotefrg]

you'll recognize me , i'll be the one with the oxygen tank,   if only i hadnt worked in a chemical plant when i was 18

[79coyotefrg]

8000 isnt too bad,  i mean  Van Horn TX is almost 6000

Registered a little late but i'll be there. Cant wait to meet some of you from the board. I thought about getting a big sticker that says "SHAMB" and post it to my window so everyone know's who I am..

hahaha...

[hiluxman]

Registered as well.  Hope to see you all up there.

[Waterman]

  The event is free event but each truck will need to pay the usual $15 per night Rubicon Springs camping fee. The camping fee will be collected by the caretaker on site. Come on out and enjoy the trails with Marlin and the crew!

Chris...unless things have changed the Fee at the Springs is a one shot deal that covers the whole weekend (I think it is good for up to a week of use) and is not a daily fee....

I don't think anyone will have any trouble picking out The Mammoths. At least as long as we are hanging around the mammoth.

[Ramrod]

is there even going to be enough room for everyone to camp at the springs?

[lilbuddy]

is there even going to be enough room for everyone to camp at the springs?

Thats what I asked and the responce I got was, "Think of how many Jeeps are at the Jeepers Jamboree and they camp there." Or something along those lines...

Dooner you're the best!  Sorry you can't make it.  Heard the food is going to be great. 
Funny though how I signed up at like #154 and my name made it to the 201 mark.  Then again, Big Mike and Chris are known for joining the anti-roundeye club.

Oh geeze Come on man. Did you notice how the list went from 263 to 311 in one day yesterday? I can't update that list as often as I want to, and I have all 311 emails in chronological order and that is how everyone has been registered.

But you won't need to worry about it Bruce, because I've been told by Chris that we are now going to bring enough meals for the first 600 People!

[Geno]

Damn, that's a lot of food.

OK guys we are upping the food! We are now bringing meals for 600 people! So we should have food for everyone Saturday night! We are asking that if you have room please help us out and bring one bundle of firewood for the BBQ. We are going to need lots of firewood to cook up all the meet, so please bring a few sticks or a bundle of wood if you can. It will really help us out!

[freds40]

VERY cool of you guys!      I'll have to check with my chaueffer and see if we have room for a bundle. Thanks again for the road marking materials Chris, I'll use them all if I can find spots for them.
