...Our event will ALWAYS be the Tuesday-Sunday after Father's Day...

This was very helpful for those of us that had to carve out a big chunk of vacation time in advance!

Also, save the dates for next year. June 17-22nd! Our event will ALWAYS be the Tuesday-Sunday after Father's Day.

If we end up with too much snow, camp at Airport Flats and make day runs as far as trail conditions will allow!

Even if there is this much snow?

That pic was from the 2011 Rubithon, a week or so before Fathers day.

Holy Cow!! That's a lot of snow. Thank god for man made global warming!

Even if there is this much snow?

Yep, thats the plan. As long as the trail hasn't been closed due to DOT recommendations, plan on camping at Airport flat, or as far as we can get, and call it a snow run.

Too hard to play the guessing game and it impacts peoples vacations.

My (long-winded) trip report of 3 generations iron-butting a 60 4,555 miles to & from the Rubithon... https://forum.ih8mud.com/ms-cottonland-cruisers/747783-three-dudes-one-truck-rubicon-bust.html

Cam, you add up the fuel costs by chance?

I intentionally did not!

But I'm guessing about $1400-$1600. We got 12-13 mpg regardless of how or where we were driving.

lol ouch..

Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

I know your question wasn't directed to me, but i spent a little more in gas and drove a few more miles and i would say... YES ABSOLUTELY!

I would do it again in a heart beat.

Good answer from both of you. Glad you enjoyed our little corner of the world.
Don't think I met either of you, I must have been otherwise occupied. There were a LOT
of wagons there this year.

Cam, Just read your trip report. Very enjoyable, great job.

I spent around $1800 on gas round trip getting 9 mph and it was definitely worth it.

Hands down the best place I have wheeled and I was with a great bunch of people. Hopefully I can make it out there again in the next few years.
