Noah, it was nice to meet you. I hope you had a good time. Tell Brett we found his tall beaver!

Matt,
Thanks for leading the run! I had a great time, and can't wait to head back next time! We'll certainly plan more time for the drive from San Diego, so we arent pulling in to Loon at 3:00AM before the 6:30AM run.

Glad you found the tall beaver!

A fantastic time! Tony and all the gang pulled off a great event. I was very impressed with how nice the Springs area was and how the sponsors really supported the raffle. No issues at all with the rig and smooth sailing on exit and home in 16 hours.



As far as the above, I have no stories, 'cause I don't remember anything! (other than being led home by my dear friends Tony and Michael) & I'm officially done with Tequila!

Ummmm... Jeff? that wasn't Tequila that messed you up. That was Ross' special Screwdriver. Remember saying that the first ones were too weak? I think I counted 6 that I poured for you. Maybe seven.

You were counting?

I had fun heading back to Loon with Bad Coco and Pete. It took most of the day, but we had no issues.

I did take some video with the new go pro. Eric did a nice wheel stand at the top of Big Sluice and I caught it in the background. the last video is from the original June date and is near Ellis Creek.

Congrats to Tony for making the right call to postpone the event!!!

The Rubicon Trail is truly an overwhelming and relentless trail. I was a passenger with Mark and his 80. Both of us Rubicon virgins! From the moment you start the trail, every obstacle looks impassable. Even after you get over the first one, the following one looks even more impassable! What an exhilarating and mind blowing trail.

I want to thank Matt Stoffregen from (www.stoffregenmotorsports.com) and his brother Nate. If it was not for their outstanding trail leading and guidance, I don’t think Mark and I would have made it through. As I said above, every obstacle looked overwhelming, nevertheless, Matt made sure we made it to the end. Thank You!!

Hey Tony, thanks for letting me say a few words at the raffle and calling out the winner of the TemboTusk slide ! That was very cool!

Attached are a few pictures and if you follow the link, there is a full album of Rubithon 2011 pictures.

How about that two envelope final prize with Mike Kulzer and Matt Rodriques? I'll be ready for their curve ball next year.

Sorry to take it sideways on you Tony but I did not want to be the "BONEHEAD" that gave away $500.00

Thank you Tony and Cindy for all of your hard work!
and everyone else that makes this such an awesome event!!

Couple of teasers whilst I download from the camera. I'll save a few goodun's for Trail's and the calender.

Trail Boss Jedi Master Glen thinking "How the hell do I get this big fat, heavy, low slung, wide, and top heavy, beast through this trail"!

The answer of course is to use The Force, with plenty of slider action.
