I think the yupterra would do fine when the trail turns into a river.








Let him go.:giggling:




Besides, camping in mud and rain is pretty much equal to sleeping on a used mattress- he'll be fine.:giggling: :giggling:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I'll bet that if you scrounge up a few bucks y'all could get the Shagster to drink some of that water.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

If I can't bring 20% more money that I usually carry (For moochers like Shaggy.), I won't be able to come either.:giggling:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Okay Beebs, here's Chateau La Rouge T&A. :D

It's much easier to put up, 'cept I think I got the rainfly on wrong. oops. I had a hard time finding all the little parts, since the kids were playing with them all, all over the yard.:mad:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

BTW, I think I'll put the little kitty in that picture inside Drty's tent so he can experience some more :OWNED: by a little puss.:jump:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I think it would help if you had a picture....:giggling:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I hate you. :(

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Hahahaha! Could you find a more confined space to set that thing up in? :D :D :D

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

no but! I set it up there because now it's on rocks, and I can get the feel for laying on a really hard bumpy surface before I go. Emma loves it! Weve been having a tea party. I tripped on the door when I was getting out, and almost got knocked out by my potted tree...:rolleyes: prolly outta put the rainfly on right, huh?

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

:D :D We aren't so lucky. We have a tent inside the freakin' house! :mad:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I wouldn't worry about the rain thingy Rocks, it is so unlikely that it will rain, I think DRTY was just trying to scare everybody....

There has been no rain the 1st week in October since 1985 :D

It will most likely be in the low to mid 80's. Bring shorts, and a suit so we can go swimmin':D

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I will offer up $50 for a photo of anyone on this trip doing the baggy thing.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I think a photo of DRTY stepping out of the PETT tent with his little bag lunch is worth WAAAAYYYY!!!! more than 50 smacks.

You have a scat fetish, don't you?:jump:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Obvious, by his choice of pee-colored H2, ain't it? :jump:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Are you still planning on going?
I-5 = 607 miles and roughly 10 hrs (prolly more like 8 or 9)
I-5 is definitely faster, and cut over to Chico and head down the highway to Auburn and across to Georgetown. Bebe, does that sound like the best way to avoid traffic delays?

The shortest route on the map is straight down highway 395 to Redding and then down thru Chico and over. Calculates to 587 miles and 11 hrs on the GPS. I know this route is slower with more windie roads. (is windie a word?:giggling:)

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

If you are thinking I-5 to Hwy 99 (Chico) to Hwy 70 (Marysville) to Hwy 20 (Grass Valley) to Hwy 49 (Auburn) to Hwy 193 (Georgetown)???

Ick! Small 2 lane farm roads with lots of trucks doing 45 mph. (and tractors that dart across the hiway:eek: )

You would save time on I-5 to I-80 to Hwy 49 to Hwy 193. Traffic on Thursday really is not that bad.

(Fridays are a nightmare with all the Bay Area peeps going to Tahoe.)

When I came up to OR in April, there was road construction all the way up I-5. Should be clear by now. Still took me 10 hours to Hillsboro.

Traffic will be bad coming in to Sacramento during rush hour from Business 80 to Roseville, then it clears up. And, rush hour here is short. Say from 4:30 to 6PM.

Otherwise Take I-5 to Hwy 20 (Colusa) thru Marysville/Yuba City, to Hwy 65 (Rocklin) to I-80 E , to Hwy 49 (Auburn), to Hwy 193 (Georegetown). The small hiways going thru have traffic and stop lights thru town.

Hope that helps.

I could have just said no....go this way...:giggling:

Hey Shags

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Thanks for the directions. I took 395 down to Reno and it was very nice. I am not sure if I am going, I might have to wait until next year. :(

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!:jump:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Hey scat packers:

I recommend bringing these on the trip:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

nawwww....... just put it all in Adam's spare tire:shhh:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I'm coming back on 395. I like that road, and there should be a lot of deer out there during that time of year.

Have you and I met before? I'm trying to figure that out.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I met H3Slate at the trials course in Reno. I think you were taking care of something else. But he was there with Vic Alfonso, so you may have met him on the way to Reno.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I sat next to you at dinner Saturday night w/ the Vic Alfonso dinner. :) The jazz club with lousy service. We went on the Nixon trail on sunday.

our guide at 50 mph hill.


I am borderline about going to the rubi. I have to get the time off of work and need to get some 35's.

If you plan any local off roading trips I would love to go. I have gone a couple of times in the Estacada area. Nice views, mud if you want, and a couple of rocky spots.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Oh HI!:o :D Well, if you get the tires and the time off, we'll see you then!

I was just up to Timothy Lake last week, and I live just a few miles from Estacada. Yes, I'll definitely call you next time I go up there.

Do you have lockers on your H3? You'll definitely need them, and be prepared for carnage.:rolleyes: :(

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I have the rear e-locker. The trails I went on had a lot of low hanging trees to scratch at the paint and some stumps to navigate. I utilized my ucp on a rock ledge I climbed at the end of the trail.

I won't be able to make it to Rubicon this time. :( Hope everybody has a great time!

No playing with the poop bags! :giggling:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

I still remember the last time I went with DRTY on the Rubicon. The guy was always looking at everyone's scat. Strange.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

STOP IT!! Please let the subject die! I can't take it anymore!:rant: Maybe it'll snow 10 feet and we won't be able to go...;)

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

If it Snows 10 Feet I'm there!!!!! :OWNED:

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
 

Google Earth has recently been updated so the Rubicon is now fully detailed. Very cool!!:dancingbanana:
