Thanks

Pack it -- The raffle prizes are brought in by the Mog Crew from Tahoe side. No one transports anything from Loon start point.

Not to mention you decided to move out of this beautiful state before you got the chance to run it. Your summer road trip should be an awesome adventure.

Coming in thursday/friday doing the historic route starting at Uncle Tom's. If anybody needs me to help with anything or want to ride shotgun, just let me know through a PM. I am going to have one seat in the pickup. We just lifestyled the pollock pines safeway so make sure to stop by and support our store. I will let the store manager know to have extra goodies in the backroom that week.

Lifestyle construction is a visual and retail content upgrade to the storefront, adding specialty departments etc. I am in finance at division - bean counter Feel free to PM me about your business reasons. I am happy to help if I can. What I meant by notifying the manager is I could shoot him an email about the event and assuming a lot of people will buy their meat and booze and ice there for example I would hate to see them run short on something - maybe they can load the backroom heavier that week.

Just received my Rubithon info...I have to say I like the hand written add-ons and love the FJ disclaimer stating "your truck should exceed our minimum requirements and you will most likely incur body damage."

rubithon

Hey guys! I'm from Myrtle Beach, SC and will be in Tahoe on the 22nd. Is there any way I could get in on the festivities. I would love to meet some of you guys. Is base camp down the rubicon or at the beginning of the trail. Is there any way to hook up with the group on Sunday?

I think Jim is on vacation right now too. What kind of question did you have.
The only damage on jim adams run will probably his trailer.

Looking at you by line for your 67 fj40 you shouldn't have a problem with the trail unless it is driver error. This coming from someone who flopped in a relatively flat spot.

It is O.K. Dave, Gunner flopped 200 ft up the trail and proceeded to initiate his smoke screen so no one could get a pic of his flop.

I just found out we'll be in Tahoe on Sat. I'm hoping people will not be packed up by then?! Is the base camp at the beginning or on the trail somewhere? I'm hoping I can meet up with some people then. I stayed in Burbank for 6 months in 98 and got to wheel the old Santiago Canyon, Pismo and Hungry Valley and the mojave and love wheeling out there.
We don't get that kind of wheeling in Myrtle Beach, SC except for Tellico and a couple other places. I would love the chance to see the Rubicon trail with a bunch of TLCA cruisers. Any info would be appreciated...
Thanks, Scott Shelley

If you really wanted to you could easily get dropped at the Tahoma staging area and hike down Cadillac hill to the springs for the Sat night dinner and raffle + bonfire, bag it and thumb a ride up to the top on Sunday. It only takes a couple hrs to hike in.

OK, I am back... and that is just too dang funny! Yes, many folks have learned not to trust my 'no problem, you can make it' comments.

Cruise Moab... awesome. But talk about get me excited about Rubithon!

Oh, huge Rubithon committee turnout at CM! Seriously. And when they handed me the microphone (ya, I can hardly believe it too), I forgot to acknowledge both Ross and Phil (and probably others)... please accept my apologies.

Lots of Rubithon news and updates. Getting caught up today. Details to come.

I gotta go unpack. 17 hours straight home yesterday.

Okay, so I have been to GSMTR about 10 times and I can't make it this year due to wife's grad school graduation. I went to Moab in 99 and that was a blast, but I haven't made the Rubicon yet. Hmmm.....I'll have kids in a year, and who knows about a job with vacation next year, so I think this trip needs to happen for me this year.
So....how crazy am I to have my 40 shipped out to Reno, then drive it home after Rubicon? BTW, I live in NC, so that's a 4 day drive. Mind you, this is no ordinary 40, it has a 5spd, turbo diesel, a/c, and pwr steering, but that's still a very long ride.
I don't think I can afford to ship both ways unless somebody buys one of my toyota diesels up for sale, but that would make it much easier. If I was in a gasser, the mileage expense to shipping would be a wash, but not in the diesel....that's just a LOT of days behind the wheel. Am I nuts or just growing some?

I will be running my 80 actually, the wife and kids will be along for this one. I can't make the wagon run and wanted to make sure Jim's run was going to be an OK alternative.
