Not updated yet. Did get mine in TT and mailed it off already. Pig, call around and see if someone has the Toyota Trails that just came and get a photo of Reg form. I would send you mine but it is gone and I did not copy it.

Hey all!

Yes, I am late on the web site updates but at least I am consistent (consistently late).

Should be up very soon...

If you must have a form right now, drop an email to Rubithon@tlca.org and I'll email you one.

The registration contact this year is Cindy Twiddy... she is much nicer than I, and usually more available than I. Registration forms are also available in Trails.

Thanks all and be safe!

Tony

Now Phil has me talked into shipping my truck. Would cost less than building one. And I know how it works, wont have to learn how to drive again. But Do I realy want to infest this coast with my rust bucket again??

Maybe. Anyone coming cross country want to bring it from CIncy?

Lets try to keep the conversation focused around Rubithon, not your individual truck plans.

The Rubithon Committee form is now available on the web site, under registration.

So far I'm the only one that I know of from this neck of the woods heading down. I've been putting my hand up for 11 years now at club meetings, and it's finally happening!
It was kind of surreal actually, my wife had been browsing my club forums and read a thread on it, then asked me if I wanted to go "for an early Fathers Day present", well..yah!

Anyways, I'm signed up for the wagon run , 8 am Wednesday June 17th. Google tells me its approx 1500 kms/15 hours to Placerville from my house, but I'm a little confused as to what to do. I now understand the camping portion is actually at the end of run, but is there a campsite near the entrance? I plan on being a little early instead of too late.

There will be a New Mexico contingent again this year.



Can't wait for this trip.

Cheers.

Enigma, there is a camp ground at the start. You will follow hwy 50 to Ice House Rd. then go up Ice House until you see Loon Lake turn to the right( sign says 4 miles) . You will cross 1 dam then the pavement will end and the campground is immediately to your right. The start area is about 400 yrds past the campground, across the 2nd dam and you will see the road taking you to the bottom of dam where you will find lots of cruisers.

 

[TRT2]

Yes, as John notes, Loon Lake on the Trail head side has ample camping including formal campground and primitive camping. If camping along the trail (or near the trail head) be sure to keep your truck on the trail. The area is very open with lots of granite but the Forest Service is vigilant on ensuring everyone trucks remain 25' from the center line of the trail. I suggest the campground, you can have a fire in the fire ring with permit.

We are entering our first large doss of registrations. I'll post the names at the beginning of the this post as confirmations will not go out for a few more weeks.

Thanks!

I have a couple of noob questions

Is the trail closed durring this event to everyone but people attending the event?

I want to attend but I may not have the $$ for the event and TLCA membership.And I dont have a parking brake so I dont meet the minum safety requirements.

Can I still be on the trail but not be on the official run?

Chris

 

[TRT2]

it is an open trail. We do reserve the entire Rubicon Springs area and you could not participate in Rubithon.

The event is for TLCA members, who pay registration, and have a truck with a parking brake.

 

[FRIZZLEFRY]

So even if I could pay for the event and membership,Im SOL without a parking brake?

Vehicle Inspection Requirements

That site gives you a listing for vehicle requirements for TLCA sponsored events. Rubithon is a great event, so if you can get some sort of working ebrake and come join the fun.

What's the status of things so far? This thread is way too quiet, pump it up people, "raise the roof"!
