I may have one. I mean, I have some, for sure, just not sure if they're standard. Want me to bring the crank too?

I hope to be home before 5pm and I can check.

I hope to be in Placerville by 10pm, parking my tow rig at Bruce's in Pollock Pines shortly after that.

Edit: I guess I should throw my spare starter and alternator in the tow rig too, eh?

Thanks everyone for all of the help!

Outta here to pack up. Loon Lake bound...

Edit: long time packing. I'm going to take a quick shower and we have to stop for gas somewhere cheap. ETA at Loon now 1am or so. Ouch.

Hey all,

My daughter and I will be Rollin' with the 7am friday group. We'll be leavin' the Concord area around 2am and hopefully meet up with you guys at the spillway before 7am. Being' that this I'll be the first time We haven't towed the 40 for any serious wheelin', I wanted to see if anyone knows what Ham freq. you all will be using in case we get waylaid on the way up to the spillway and have to meet you guys somewhere on the trail. I remember there used to be an escape route along the trail by I think is close to where the Wentworth Springs trail meets up by Ellis Creek(where the old outhouse was,a little before Walker Hill IIRC). Either that or if we do have any problems along the way we'll try and catch up to you along the designated route. Not anticipating any problems, but at the same time don't want to hold the group up in case we have problems getting there on time.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out with the Ham freq. I'll also post this in the main thread as well.


Dave,

Hope everyone packed warm clothes and a good sleeping bag, feels like it's going to be cool for the next few days.

I can tell, my sciatica is acting up.

Had a great time with all! Just got up Cadillac and got my first rubicon tattoo on my door!

It was great meeting you folks and putting faces with internet names.

On my way down US50 to hit Moab for a day on the way home.....

Got up early and reached the top of Cadillac by 7 am, had a blast. Will be pulling into PDX by midnight.

I missed it bummer. I need to pay more attention to the events thread.

Any more trips coming up? Rubicon is about an hour from me.

We had a blast.
Rock Chef worked out very well. All teams performed really well. In the end, it was Team 14mm who took home the glory. I was very impressed with everyones ingenuity.

Here are a couple of shots from the trail:
