You'll need to pick up a fire permit, and we won't know the status of fires until Tuesday.

Propane power is the key.

If you get a permit, then you can have camp fires. They will check and ticket.

Thanks! Charcoal briquettes are all I need actually for a dutch oven. Do they fall under campfire regulations? :hmm:

"all I need actually for a dutch oven" And you will be camoing where ? :grinpimp: Nothing like fresh Desert when camping LOL , But REALLY where will you be camped ( YUM ) :cheers:
 
yes, briquettes fall under permit rules.

But in the Springs it's usually not an issue, as it's private land.
 
Propane bottle, briquette barbecue and briquettes should fit easily into my carry-on. No problem! :D

Sadly, that's probably true. I'm sure I'll be told my metal spoon is illegal though, and it will be confiscated at the gate.
 
done - Go with route 1 if driving straight through, route 3 if staying in CC.
 
Curious about who is on your formal Run... visit the Rubithon website.

PS - if running solo, then don't bother visiting for only formal groups are listed, no solos, bootlegs, renegade, rogue apples, or anything else close. I mean, that is why you went solo, correct??
 
I hadn't thought to ask this before, but does anyone coming through reno have an empty seat that would be passing through/near the airport around noon? I have a ride to rubicon, but he's coming from placerville, so if I could save him a ton of miles, he might appreciate it.
 
Woody, and the rising sun member (convert) coming up from Nevada City. 49 to 193 up Wentworth Springs road is hands down the best route. You take a right on Ice house and you're there.

I live near Cameron park and that route cuts a half hour out of the trip to loon vs going 50 to Ice House

We will be leaving Sunday staying in Pollock Pines if you need help on Tuesday please let me know I could drive out to the staging area and help in the morning with whatever you might have going on. Feel free to Pm me with anyone's phone numbers I could get in contact with to help out.
 
and you'll be providing a critical role for the FJ Cruises... one the Trail Teams are very excited about... serving as walking spotter!!! Most awesome.

Yeah, but how many escorts do we need? Looks like 10 FJ's and three of those are Trail Teams. Looks like I'll about have my own personal escort? :p

Hope he's cute! ;)

If you guys have too many escorts on that run feel free to send one over to the straight through Thursday run to help the one 80 and FJC :D. They would be well compensated :cheers:
 
Hey Rising Sun Guys-----For maximum fun, here is an alternative route from Reno. Take the Truckee-Tahoe City route to Tahoma, leave your trailer at the Rubicon exit staging area and drive into the Springs either Monday pm or Tuesday morning. You can then run the trail backwards on Tuesday either with Mudrak or me. That would put you at Robbs Tuesday night via the BEST possible route -- the Rubicon Trail. And your trailer would be waiting for you in Tahoma at the end of the week.
 
Rides over the Rubicon

After many phone calls and confirmations with Tony, Mel, John, Becky and Pearce, we will be having Helicopter rides over the Con this year!

With fuel prices as they are Jet fuel is way over the $5.00 mark the rate is 60.00 per person with 3 minimum per ride.

If you have not experienced the trail from above i highly recommend it, it is worth every penny.:bounce2:

i would like to give a special thanks to Pearce Umlauf at JJUSA for his help with the details. He will be arriving on Friday to survey bear damage to some storage sheds. If you can, walk over and introduce yourself and thank him.:wrench:

See you there, Scott

That sounds awesome Jack. Not sure if any of us will be there in time as most of us are leaving Denver area Monday, arriving at Robb's Tuesday afternoon. I will post this up on our forum and see if there is any takers.... Most of our group is Rubi virgins and I think Andy has them scarred poopless....I would hate to burst their bubble and let them see it's just a nice Sunday drive on a Kalifornia country road! ;) :lol::lol::lol: :cheers:

That is way cool....how and when?
 
There is a Ranger Station on the way up Ice House Road. (for fire permit)

Do we all need to get permits on our way in? I assumed it would be either NO fires, or a group Rubithon permit.

If you guys have too many escorts on that run feel free to send one over to the straight through Thursday run to help the one 80 and FJC :D. They would be well compensated :cheers:

No, that's ok, we'll keep them! I'm sure we'll have enough compensation in our group to keep them interested!

:cheers:

Helicopter rides? :) How much better could this trip get?

Sooooo you've got the great spotters and BETTER tequila!!! You're killing me here! ;p
