We bagged Barrett at the last minute after seeing the line of rigs rolling in there Friday night!
We shot over to Rubicon, started in and got as far as the top of the granite bowl and had a rear pinion blow secondary to a failed traction bar. So we had a nice day of trail repair on granite! It was still a great trip that I was honored to be of assistance to a fallen brother.

I cant wait to see your pics of the run! Im really curious as to what that trail looks like, and further, how much camping is actaully available once in!
We just didnt want to fight the crowds, get in and have no place to camp and have to turn around...

here's a few pics

heres a few pics of our trip. there's plenty of camping in a very beautiful spot, but not of there's 35 rigs there. i always go mid week, but that is the luxury fo having the fireman schedule. i absolutely love this trail. great camping, hiking, swimming, wheeling and i finally found the old S-2 plane crash this year.

Looks incredible, but that opinion would certainly change with lines of traffic! THere were SOOOOO many rigs heading in, it was scary!
That is an AMAZING pic of the water with the moutains!
I had heard that there was a crash site. Thats cool you found it!
Glad it was a great time for you guyz and all came out safe and sound!
