Here are some pics from our group running the Rubicon.
Starting it off with our friend in his Formula Toy headed through Gate Keeper
George getting spotted up a steep climb by Jason
Me and my rig, "Bruiser" about to head up the same climb. Loon Lake in the distance.(My son just had to bring his Tonka Truck)
Homemade trash bag on the back of my rig. I'll gauge interest in them before i offer them for sale. If you want one PM me.
Jason and my wife setting camp. Martini time!
Happy toddler recipe. Just add dirt.
Our local wheeling crew, 3 80 series and a Formula Toy on our way to Little Sluice.
Getting close to the trees on the Little Sluice bypass.
Not much room for error here
Who says XML's don't flex???? 8psi works fine for me
My family enjoying Buck Island. Wife had so much fun she said, "I want to do this every year!" <-----winning!
Flexing and stuffing 38.7" rubber. Clearing the body but rubbing the sliders - Doh!
Our crew on the bridge
The Dirty Onesies gang with PismoJim after my 3 sheered knuckle bolts fix in camp.
PismoJim leading our crew up Cadillac Hill. Both he and Jason rubbed that rock.
PismoJim getting the most tippy, spotters lended a hand to prevent the flop.
My turn, not nearly as dramatic as PismoJim.
Can you name this spotter?????????? Ha ha ha! Thanks Woody!
Ready for Rubithon 2014!

Post some up, and any that you think are awesome, email them to me at chairman@rubithon.com, and I'll try to get them posted up on the website
My dad with two mud legends! Micky rubicon and pismo Jim!
Also got a new tattoo from Cadillac hill! Slid down into the darn thing instead of staying low and letting the slider do work...

I'd like to thank everyone that helped me getting the Rubithon put together, put special thanks to Jerry and Julie Reffner, for helping Karen and I in registration and putting on a great wine tasting event for RTF.
I can't thank Russ Watkins and Woody enough for your selfless efforts getting everyone up Cadillac Hill on Sunday, that is one huge area for improvement for next year!
If you have an intrest in helping with this next year, contact me at chairman@rubithon.com for a free ride!!! First 10 people get it!
We have some ideas to make the raffle go more quickly and smoothly next year as well. And while I'm sure I missed thanking more than these two, I want to give a huge thank you to Luke Porter from 4x4labs for donating his bumper for the FJ40's. It is a top quality bumper that would be awesome for anyone lucky enough to have one.
Also to Paul Decker from Deckers' Hot Camp Showers for the awesome hot camp shower set up he dontated. I personnally bought one of his continous hot water showers and privacy tent, and can attest how awesome it is to have a nice warm shower to get all the Rubicon DG dust off!
I was amiss in properly acknowledging these and possibly a few other raffle prizes that people so graciously donated. Please accept my appologies! Next year, we will have the prizes written out so in the chaos and darkness, I don't drop the ball again
I'm glad everyone had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Eric,
You guys did awesome. Great communicationbefore and at the event. I heard a lot of compliments and praises about the added activities.
Joel kicked ass on the raffle. Thank you for taking this over from me. I could not have done the task this year and you graciously took it over and ran with it. I know how much work it takes.
Wine tasting definately needs to be back next year. Can you post up the list of winery's and wine tasted?
One of the best things about Rubithon is everyone working together. When Ross Wooody asked for help in the kitchen to serve, people jumped up to help. I think Georg may have broken into a sprint.
Woody, besides hosting all this communication on the forum and giving us a place to gather on the internet, volunteers to spot on the exit. Not like he had a long drive to get home.
Ross, great meal as usual. Enjoyed the breakfast. Raffle gods were good to you.
Toy's on The Rock's- Great job getting the area ready and supporting Eric through out the event.
My fellow PMCer's always good to see such a large turn out. We had 29 members (not including family or friends show up!)
Big Jim Adam's Trail Run- We had 2 trucks that were being nursed through the trail one with a bad rear 3rd that jim was pulling to assist when needed and another truck that had lost reverse that when needed to go backwards had to be pulled. No one complained, everyone worked together and we made good time.
I could go on and on.........
I will say that if you enjoyed the event and want to be involved, get a hold of Eric and offer to help for next year. There is a lot of forward planning that goes on if you do not want to be committed at the event itself.

Picture of my buddy Craig in my rig not taking the Talledega turn on Big Sluice. The trip definitely motivated him to finish his Cruiser. Got a rear wrap bar fabbed up yesterday.
Eric, that was the best Rubithon I've been on for sure. All the events Saturday were hard to keep up on. Thanks for all your hard work.

I still find it hard to believe that in this century I get nothing but blanks looks when trying to order a ceasar south of the 49th.
No it is not damn bloody mary!
Oh, and try bacon or beef jerky in place of the traditional celery/bean garnish!
Got back in time to have a glass of duty free vino with my wife on her birthday.
Great job on the raffle Joel. That is always the hardest job to do.
Two winches, a fridge, several air tanks, soft tops to name a few of the bigger prizes.
I got skunked on the raffle but won big time on the trail. More pics tonight.

So you got the inofficial Iron Butt Award?
My 2 cent:These 22 miles are well worth it no matter what distance.
Yep, Eric knocked it out of the park.
Julie or I will get that list of wineries (they are someplace, just have to sort through all of the unpacking. Still have to send thank you notes to them) and I will get them posted.
Thanks to everyone.....It was awesome!
