Anyone willing to take on a passenger? Fordyce is happening the weekend I need to prep and roll out to Ouray, and I really don't want to miss this one too.

You are a seasoned veteran now.

We'll see if we can find some crazy hard lines for you to hone your skills.

You can borrow my truck, Sheff...

I'll watch from here.

Muddygrrl hasn't been on the Rubicon either! Two years with the FJC Trail Teams and no Rubicon. Been just about everywhere else, though.

Mo, post up some pics of your rig.

I don't think you'll slow the group down. You did fine when we did the trail last year.

I was just marking this date on my calender at work and I notice I have that week marked as the Perseid meteor shower. What luck, the view should be great!

FJason80 · 07-03-08, 01:28 AM

Damn, I think I'm going to be in the Yukon for this. My family and I are planning to drive my land cruiser to the Yukon, and up the famous Dempster Highway into the artic circle.

chicago · 07-06-08, 10:51 PM

Im already getting a little nervous to do this run again....

rusty_tlc · 07-14-08, 03:17 PM

I'm a sick puppy.

I'm still itching bug bites, haven't even started the rapairs, from Fordyce yet I'm already counting days until Rubicon.

Do we want to make mention of this run on the "trails events.." section here on mud, or the norcal board, or is that a bad idea?
Who all is in on this run?

That is a REAL BUMMER of a news scoop, but Im game for what ever. All I know is that I wanna get out and do some wheelin. I havent done NEAR engouh this summer...

FJason80 · 07-20-08, 10:56 AM

Lets postpone it a month! So I won't be in the Arctic Circle for this run!

rusty_tlc · 07-20-08, 04:00 PM

Confirmed HERE.

Sierra trek is Aug 7-9 so that will be over, we could do Fordyce again.

I've never done Slick Rock, whats it like?

Barrett Lake is still closed, but it could be open by then. I've never done that trail either but it looks cool on the web.

FJason80 · 07-20-08, 05:32 PM

Ya know if all else fails, and you guys can't find anywhere else to go, theres always the Prosor Pits. Some fun obstacles, maybe you could set up a bbq? just throwin it out there.

450 DUDE · 07-20-08, 09:36 PM

Barret ( from what ive seen) is pretty tough. + I think that there is a gate in the entrance restricting size.

Slick Rock is short and sweet with good camping spots around. You could do MT Reba then slick rock for more lasting pleasure.
