I’m blocking those dates anyhow. Worst case, the gate is locked; I’ll spend the time exploring the surrounding areas. How bad can it be? Camp fire, dirt roads, sand steaks, and wheelers… As they say, the worst day off pavement is still heavenly.
I hear you. Not my kind of jam either. To that point I considered myself fortunate that my only time on the trail was three rigs in and two rigs out. The third rig stayed for the jam!
Rubicon and Dusy-Ershim are my must do trails. Considering how much I enjoyed riding the Rubicon, I may go back.
How many days should we plan for?
My estimate is at 1 mph and the trail being 33 miles, we are looking at 3 days 10 hours per day? My 80 series is so slow I don’t even know it it can keep a 1 mph pace. So maybe plan for 4 days on the trail?
