not sure if it is posted somewhere or is in the works to be posted, but can we see who is on every run? heck who knows maybe it gets posted and i am un aware. thanks again

[woooody]

It doesn't get posted. I don't think I've ever seen any event post run participants.

Trail Leaders don't' get their sheets until Friday before the run

[chappysfj40]

ahhhh, makes since. thanks

It would be a cool idea to have a "RUBITHON MOB" as per Surf n Turf MOB.

[TRT2]

I have approached this topic with our web guy... and if we post, it will be as of 6/1 to ID who registered before the cut off date.

Ton of registrations in the mail box today! Sweet. Will be entering all week, and shoot for confirmations next weekend.

Thanks!

I'm throwing down the gauntlet at the springs either fri or sat if anyone wants to come out. Nothing oficial just a free for crawl if you will. I want to make sure this is ok with Tony and dosnt conflict with anything he has going. Post up here if your interested

[chappysfj40]

I'm in! Great idea!

[Romer]

Sounds like a great opportunity to give one of the Trail Team FJ's a try

[TRT2]

Sounds fun Neil, suggest Saturday in the springs (everyone should be in by then) or perhaps early evening before dinner while folks are showing up to grab some lawn...

[General Sherman]

Sat work for me. i'm debating on the springs or the slabs. There might be more places to do it on the slabs. Do you think there is a better place in the springs?

What about Big Sluice or even over by Cadillac?

[woooody]

logistics of getting a crowd would be tougher at Caddy or Big Sluice... Plenty of places to use in/around the springs.

[PabloVTA]

FOTR Sep. 29, 2007 Work Project Sign Up

will this be part of the event as well?

[woooody]

They will be at the loon lake end while we are in the springs. Sunday, they know we will have 200 trucks heading up caddy, and have been advised not to go all the way through.

[TRT2]

Del is aware of our event, and Rubithon is a strong financial supporter of FOTR! Just ask Del...

Neil, how about the rocks directly across from the green grass, on the other side of the trail? I am sure you'll find some materials there... there are also the large granite rocks behind the stage... got to be places you can use. What ever you feel works best.

[General Sherman]

I'll be up there by thursday and scout it out then. Sound like Sat works best

[robj]

We will be bringing our 2 year old son unless grandma comes thru at the last minute, but it doesnt look like thats gonna happen.

dude dont sweat it, i brought my 11 month old and 3 year old in 2000 on the rubithon, i was in a orange spring over 40, lets just say we had shit everywhere in and on the cruiser. you will do great.
cheers

[jsuthey]

27 Days till Rubithon!!!!!!!!!! Everyone getting ready,doing pm/mods??

[rutbeer]

I'm trying to figure out how to eat......and poop on this trip. I fly in on Tuesday so I'm packing minimally. No cooler, no stove, etc. I guess I'm going to have to make this like a backpacking trip, but the outhouse problem has me baffled. I can't see carrying a pooper onto the plane!

We will have our PETT system, you will just have to negotiate with my girls on usage...

[alvarorb]

Rutbeer,

Here's an inexpensive portable toilet solution: It consists of a 5 gallon bucket with toilet lid. You can buy them at any sports store for around $15. 13 Gallon trash bags and cat litter. When not in use everything fits inside the bucket. It's very handy and you won't break the bank with it.



Happy TT reading

[rutbeer]

Oh, I have seen it all now! Pooping in cat litter....brilliant. My wife calls me el gato grande anyway... haha

[peesalot]

in all honesty, if you hike it there are outhouses at Ellis, Springs, and a few scattered here and there. You should be fine. Bathrooms at Loon as well.
