Correct. There are nice facilities at Loon before you leave and also in Tahoma Staging.

There is a nice restroom just past where Wentworth Springs and Loon meet on the far side of Ellis Creek

There are porta potties at Spider Lake.

I had hoped to get the pota potties in to Buck before the event for those camping at Buck, but my Cruiser went down and that is not going to happen before our trip. Later this summer, there will be 4 nice ones installed that will be serviced by RTF funding

There are multiple in the springs and above the slabs. Most of these are porta potties over a large hole in the ground.

I don't expect every single vehicle to have their own toilet, though it would be nice to not have other peoples booties set on someone elses, but, I would expect there to be Pett toilets, or bumper dumpers that can be used by each group.

I will work with the Leads and Committee guys to try to make sure this happens.

Inside the red goody bags everyone will be receiving, you will find an oil spill kit as well as Wag Bags. For anyone not familiar with the wag bags, your committee guys can explain.

Great question about the #2's on the trail and thanks for being conscientious about it. It's that kind of thought that it is going to take to keep our trails open!

Huge props to the crew that toils to put this amazing event on. Many of us will never know what it takes to coordinate all of this into a great event. Unfortunately it isn't in the stars for me to join in this year. Other projects have taken priority and my rig isn't in the proper condition this year. Have fun everyone!

 

[TRT2]

I know what it takes... and Eric and crew are doing a phenomenal job!

Nicely done all. Should be the best Rubithon in a long long time.

I'd like to go to this year's event, but I need a seat. I almost had a seat, but plans didnt work out, partly my fault. Anyway I will need to do a fly n' ride. So if you have an open seat, and dont mind a long-haired hippy from Austin, PM/email me. I am flexible on where to fly into.

Hope you can make it Jason. Im tagging along myself and dont have a seat to offer or I would.

Really looking forward to the event and meeting some of you.

Since I had a few minutes.. Looks to be cool on the trail still, I think the shorts are staying home.

First timer on the con . Well hopefully have a rig drivable since I'm signed up. Still have lots of work to do. Would it be bad to run with the hard top on? I could use the extra storage from the confer rack.

You'll be tippy... Take it from the guy who's always been told he's too heavy.

The rack should only have light, fluffy things -- nothing heavy. Sleeping bags, chairs etc. No Fuel. No water.

The man speaks the truth..

Hmm. I strapped my 33x9.5 spare on top of the cage. Should I get a receiver tire carrier? I have a little rack that will have light fluffy things...

Me personally...
I'd keep as much weight off the roof as you could. There's lots of off camber to be had on rubicon.
If you have a good way of carrying that spare else where, I would. Your sphincter will thank you for it.

In regards to weather, looks like expect upper 30's at night and mid 70's during the day?

 

[45Kevin]

Where exactly will we be meeting for the wagon run on Wednesday morning?

I am planning to get to the trail head Tuesday afternoon. Where should I camp? Is anyone else getting there on Tuesday? Will there be a vehicle inspection? Where? When?

It's normally pretty warm. Cold at night, warm all day. It can rain, so be prepared.

 

[lisponger]

Anyone from Western CO have room for 4 tires on the way back?

Trying to figure out a way around shipping with the dudes in poo brown.

Will gift heavily in

Cheers

 

[cruzila]

Just got my confirmation, cruzila is coming off of a year long sabbatical for this years Rubithon!!

I will be bringing some raffle goodies too!

 

[Bad Coco]

Happy to report for those that ordered breakfast, it will now include sausage links.

Also, for those that will be there Tuesday and Wednesday, members of the Joe Gibbs NASCAR racing team will be joining us for a little break before their race in Sonoma.

They will be camping behind the kitchen with TOTR and leaving very early on Thursday morning.

There is another group that will be on the slabs on Monday-early Thursday. If they are rude or taking the "premo" sites, let me know. I am trying to accommodate a group that comes up from San Diego and not be a jerk. If it becomes an issue, please let me know in camp! You guys are first!

It looks like fire restrictions will be in effect starting Monday June 17 below 6,000 feet. But we will be fine at Buck and the Springs!

Is this drivers or crew? Either way is cool. JGR is the Flagship Toyota team.

 

[nuclearlemon]

my buddy robert is a huge nascar fan and said that kenseth is into ohv activities, so maybe he'll be there (btw my buddy robert may kill me because he also loves cruiser events...he's pissed he's gotta stay here and watch my house now )

 

[Pighead]

Pighead had a thought...this being the 25th annual...do any of the first annual Rubithon T-shirts exist? Or the second annual? Point being, how about a group pic of attendees in old, prior, Rubithon Ts...might be a good calendar (or not) pic.
