ATTN ROUND UP PARTICIPANTS
We are monitoring the new Caldor Fire south-west from the Rubicon Trail and just this morning the entire forest service has been closed until at least September 30, which includes the Rubicon Trail. In fact, according to incident reports the fire has already reached the Hwy50 and Rock Creek Road intersection.
We are working on alternatives but for the moment unless something drastic changes it looks like we'll have no choice but to cancel MCR19 as originally scheduled for Sept. 17-19. We have not made any concrete plans yet and will keep everyone updated as news develops.
This is a serious blow to fund raising for the trail because we set a massive new record in registrations which means a significant potential to raise money for both The Rubicon Trail Foundation and El Dorado National Forest.
Last year we endured the largest fire in Fresno County history so we understand first hand the importance of closing a forest for everyone's safety. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the hard working fire fighter personnel and families being affected. Stay safe everyone!

From Big Mike on their website
Hey guys,
Sorry it's been a very busy past two weeks for me. Unfortunately we have no choice but to cancel MCR19 as originally scheduled. Last week we announced this on Facebook and Instagram but it didn't get posted here. I'll edit the opening post to reflect the change.
In addition to El Dorado, as of Sunday night the following forests have also been closed as per Regional Order No. 21-04, however, only until Sept 6:
I am thinking of starting a poll to see what most people would like to do but we know for many this is their only vacation time that they schedule many months in advance so most can't just randomly change the date for when to hang out on the trail.
Obviously we'll make available the option for A) Full refund, B) Move registration to next year, or C) Donate some or all your registration $$ 50/50 to RTF and El Dorado Nat. Forest.
Other things I've thought of are doing an unofficial, very loosely organized meet up at say Moab or The Hammers or even Rubicon sometime later this fall or winter, just so we can get those interested to at least have an opportunity to hang out on the trail with good friends.
Man... We've done 18 events and now two years in a row we're having to cancel. The BIGGEST thing I'm unhappy with is that we had a record number of on-time registrations which meant a HUGE opportunity to raise a record amount of donation for RTF and El Dorado. Huge opportunity lost. These chances don't come often!!
