Did I miss an email from you? If so, I apologize.
Flying in Wednesday, hitting the trail with the Metal-tech crew on Thursday morning, up Cadillac and down the mountain to flights out on Sunday. I'll be around. TJK __________________ Todd J. Kaderabek TLCA # 9280, Fairview, NC |

Come in from tahoe side, drive the van in a few miles, then hit the Mt Bike for the trek down. I hope I can remeber the way. its been a few years. SO if ya see me late night on the trail, give my backpack a ride. And maybe even feed me LOL.

This hat?

At least if you get lost with the hat you can run the lights and we can find you easier.

Well if daughterofromer shoots that then I will have to interview her. here's mine. Colt M4 Match Target with HK mags. Good shooter, but that one is a tack driver, clearly.

Won't you already be moving by the time Todd's run gets there? Certainly you aren't planning on just staying at Buck for all of the runs?

What run is the Metal Tech crew on? 7am or 9am or ?
Just curious as MTA is going with Big Jim at 7am and it'll be a good sized group. Phil __________________ 1973 FJ40, beeropener 1966 FJ45, (the 12HT has arrived.... )1995 4Runner, AT with dual cases TLCA #9166 TLCA Delegate, Mountain Transit Authority, San Jose, CA |

Metal Tech is on the Buck overnight.
All groups are good sized, even the small ones. __________________ Tony Twiddy #5049 |

This may be another stupid question, but will there be spotters along the trail? Will we be spotting for each other...or will we be running "semi blind"? This weekend Toy350 and I were chatting and discussing the wide array of vehicles we've hear of running this trail stock high mod...and how some stock rigs come out unscathed and other highly mod rigs come out bashed. Our conclusion was line, driver, and spotter?

You will be able to watch others go through the trail ahead of you within your group and that helps a lot. In some areas Carnage Just Happens. It can happen in a easy area or a hard one. This trail always seems to have a rock that likes to reach out and touch you. I have seen others that have gone through the trail with out a scratch, just not me. Bring a great attitude and consider the scratches and dents a remembrance of the trip. If you get to hung up on the dents and scratches then you won't have a good time. Besides a trip to the paint shop when the event is over covers them all up. More Bondo Please! Dave |

Since you're driving an FJC, and since you are NOT on the FJC run, life is going to be a little tougher for you. BIg Jim's run is going to try to be a "fast moving" run, meaning that they expect most to be able to follow the lines, and stay together. If you have armor, and aren't worried about plastic trim, you should be OK. Hopefully you've developed a good feel for your rig, and how to finesse it. I know at McGrew you had a few issues, but the key as always is that when you get into situations, slow down, listen to spotters, and ease through things before "romping" on it. __________________ Ross Woody TLCA #7704 72 FJ40 with some mods...

Ah, I thought he'd be part of the "Straight Through" run that left Thursday morning.

I believe we chatted on the phone and I noted my concerns to you. As stated then and here, you will be in a relatively fast moving group, and passing the FJCruiser group somewhere before Buck Island. Also, I believe you are in this group with another buddy (Garrett)? Fall in behind them and they can provide aid as needed. (although Garrett is also going to have his hands full... ) Rubithon is an advanced run. There are some good photos recently of some trips across the trail in the land cruiser section on Pirate4x4. You can gauge the size and abundance of the rocks. They are big, and they are numerous. I can guarantee you will take body damage. We all do. Rubicon will make the McGrew sluice look like a paved road. Ross and I believe now we remember you from that run... hopefully you have mastered the A Trac and can control the wheel spin. Very important.If you decide it is too much, there is no shame in declining and I will refund (most) of your money. Don't read me wrong, we want you to attend and have a good time... but I also want you to know what you are getting into. I have seen grown men cry (wait, that was me). There is no shame in opting out. I specifically noted body damage to the FJ cruisers in the confirmation... don't say we didn't warn you. Quote:
