I never did my version of a "trip report" because we have had limited internet access. I hope this still gets some traffic but here is my version of how things went for the FJC's. Its hard for me to put this event into perspective but the organizers did an outstanding job with the whole event. The breakfast and dinner was very good and all the events went off without a hitch. We camped at "Dirty Dozen" in the "Springs" which was a nice place to hang out since it was a bit removed from the "adult" events.

Bottom line is that I'm very thankful for being able to experience this event and trail at least once. I highly recommend everyone finding a way to do this at least once. The biggest problem is that I have to find a way to pull this off again now that I've done it. I have to see do it again at some point in the future. Living ~2800 miles away makes for a more challenging trip but as I stated before, it was/is worth every mile.

I have uploaded pics to my photobucket site in the "Rubithon 2008" album and here are a few for a taste...




















You have to look closely to see the reaction of my daughter to know how close were were to the granite...
