Hey Drty, will the wheeling be on the 5th-8th or are you planning on leaving the 5th then wheelling the 6th-7th and back on the 8th? :)

Rock rash and fender dents, OH MY!:eek: Those pics with H3's on the trail made it look really super narrow. Jamming an H2 thru there is going to be interesting. Who's got an H1 to go first?;)

Need to get some dates down. Ken, if you are planning on driving, we can probably meet up.

Now all I have to do is figure out when I am going home.

You all wil have a blast! But you must be fully willing to accept the fact there is a 99.9% chance of body damage.

Even if i personly can't make it (To soon to know my schedule for Oct, I have a full list of projects i need to finnish before Winter), Rock-N-Roll 4x4 will be on hand to fully support the trip and make sure everyone gets through safely.

Gawd i hope i will be able to make this! I have always found the Boat launch at Discovery Park on a Weekend provides endless hours of Entertainment, but this trip will top that. :D

Here are some links to assimulate you to the Con and the USFS use parameters:

First and formost, make sure you fully understand the current restrictions in place from Forest Order Forest Order #03-05-07

I plan on traveling/arriving on Thursday, starting the trail bright & early Friday morning and being done & off the trail either late Saturday or early Sunday.

Thanks Cranky, this is really important stuff! Everyone should know that this trail is the Crown Jewel of four wheeling.

I don't want to create any drama here, but we need to realize that wheeling the 'Con has a lot of responsibility, or more importantly, an need for common sense.

I know we all are conciensious wheelers, so I'm not worried, but please take the time to read through this. It really is important.:)

Stop hyperventilating.;) It's just a (tough)trail that happens to have lots of enviro-lurking tattle-tales.

Shut it newb. :rolleyes: What makes you think wheelin and busting your junk for a few months elevates you to the ranks of the real vetrans here? Keep your e-drama to yourself and be quiet like you are when out on the trail. Leave the advice to the real pros.

x3 on the ban request! :mad:

Bebe is one of the best people on this forum. :) She is an active wheeler who is very aware of the impact we have on the environment and what is necessary to help preserve that environment for future generations on wheelers.

You, Donky Kong, are merely an AE for a coward. We don't need, or want you here. You bring the suck. :mad:

Where's Georgetown? I'll probably be down on Wednesday afternoon if we're hitting the trail on Thursday.

It's between Sac and South Lake Tahoe. Probably 45-60 mins to trailhead. Not sure exactly since I came in a different way. Bebe would know.

The black line from Loon Lake to 89 is the Rubicon.

Georgetown in on 193.

You'll take 80 E, to 49 s, to 193 s. Tis easy

Hey Rox, is it faster for me to drive through the middle of oregon or head to portland first? I think the map showed almost a 100 mile difference...but wasn't sure about the roads...

I can find out a time differential for you, but my advise would be to take 395 one way at least because it will be so much more scenic.:)

Definitely take 395 - it's a great little highway(not freeway) with tons of scenery.

My mapping software says 231-395-207-395-193
Not sure about the little jaunt on 207, so it's your call.

Ok, so why does this thread keep disappearing??

So far, we're in! :) As long as we don't run into problems with the kids... :) What kind of room is there when camping? Don't know if I should bring two small tents rather than one large one?
