Wagon run is full. Doug J, Jeff H, Bob B pretty much finished it off.

FJ40_Garage (Peter?)... were you referring to Marc Schafer??? I need some help with all his info.


thanks!

Tony

Tony, not to trouble, but could we get a list of everyone on the Wagon run? I'd appreciate it and I'm sure the others would too. Thanks, look forward to the festivities.

As the run leader for the Wagon Run run, I have Tony's permission to make a few changes, so here they are.

First, I am going to call everyone on the run prior, and talk about your rig and your experience level. Also to remind you about #2, which is extremely important.

Second, the run will leave from Loon Lake, not Ice House. The depart time will be 9am or earlier, just behind the first run. I am thinking we will need all the daylight hours available to get the group safely tucked into Buck Island. We are not meeting for breakfast. There is no breakfast. You can have some of my cherrios if you like. Just be ready to leave by 9am at the #2 dam at Loon Lake and we'll be OK. You can eat all the breakfast you want, wherever you want, just be ready to go at Loon Lake, 9am. Plan on arriving by 8:30, and airing down.

Third, Camping this year must be within 50 feet of the trail. The best sites are way more than that at Buck Island. We may go just beyond Buck Island to the big open spot just before Big Sluice. We'll play that by ear.

Comittee-Alvaro, Mark Warner and Pismo Jim have offered to to help. I will be relying on them heavily to make this work, especially in the difficult sections around Walker Hill.

Looking forward to it!
 
I will edit the info Andy, so when confirmations go out, 8 AM at Loon will be reflected, all drivers ready to depart by 9 AM.

No breakfast is included with the wagon run; however, anyone can swing by Ice House and have breakfast on their own. But as Andy notes, be at Loon by 8AM and ready to go by 9 sharp.

If you wanted the wagon run, but find it full, I recommend the Thursday straight through with Big Jim Adams. You will basically be following the wagon group into the springs on late Thursday afternoon, depending upon when they get up and get moving. :)

I am reminding everyone, including our trail leaders, that camping at buck is going to get sporatic. With Spider closed, the only camping along the trail (by water) is buck and there are no guarantees about spots available. Should any formal group arrive at Buck to find it full (especially Thursday night), don't be surprised if they push on to the Springs. We simply have no control over camping spots... and just because you see others parked and camping off the trail in an illegal fashion, does not mean it is acceptable. You can camp almost anywhere, but technically, your truck must remain in the 50' trail zone (figure 25' from centerline).

If you get asked by a Forest Ranger to move your truck, do not argue at all. Simply comply with the request. The Rangers are there to ensure everyone has a good time, and that we all abide by the law to the best of our ability. They are on our side.

I also want to remind everyone to expect the worst with regards to fire restrictions. Plan all cooking for propane. You are representing TLCA during Rubithon and are expected to follow the rules, regardless of what you personally think about them.

FYI and thanks!

Thanks-looking forward to meeting up.
 
so with fires on the fence should we plan a large poker party or some sort of entertainment to keep busy ?

I knew That! I was just checking to see if you knew dat!

Who said that anyhow!

'Literacy, I should look into it.'
 
I'm very excited. I'm picking up my co-pilot, navigator, photographer, all around good guy on Tuesday in Reno. And from there onward. To be honest, I'll be happy with about anything. If we drive all night, all day, whatever. I'm just excited to be there.
 
As always it's going to be nice to put face to function and meet the guys behind the rigs, comments, pm's, etc. (and see if the all the talk matches the drive).:D One of my favorite parts.

"Captain Drew" Just bring the stape gun in case the other eye feels neglected and decides to do something about it.

Mmmm, wed waggy run straight through :D


I like it :)
 
My Rock lights are on! I got the flight plan for co-pilot this afternoon. His flight gets into Reno at 10:45 pm Tuesday night. So we are going to have our own night run getting to the trail head in the morning. And his plane leaves at 6:30 AM Sunday morning from Reno so probably a evening/night run headed out too. It's all good. I'm on vacation all week.
 
Eric, I can follow you on the way out if you want. I'll be taking a co pilot out as well. And he has a 2 ish flight out. not gonna cut it close on that one..
(nothing against tony and his exit strategy ;))
