Ok, getting me concerned here. Is the Rubi a 1 night camping doable or a 2 nights kindda trail? With small kids in tow, that's a significant and important difference that we can't just "wing" it.

Would appreciate input from those in the know.

Plan for at least 2 full trail days if no one has problems ....

Plan for two nights.The trail can be done in two days. It is safer to leave the extra day just in case of breakdowns, slow going trail traffic, trail blockages etc. (We were there for two nights in July)

This trail requires a certain amount of flexibility. I totally understand winging it would be tough with the little ones.

Allllll righty then. I'll plan on spending two nights in the new Tent-aroo. Then I won't have to worry about a room at the end of the trail until I'm actually off of it. I'd rather stop and camp somewhere earlier in the evening, than get off the trail after dark and have to worry about somewhere to stay. I'm assuming it's okay to pitch a tent anywhere along the trail. California. UGH! This is out of my comfort zone!

I'll be flexible! I promise! Thanks for the info.

I guess this means we'll have to take all the easy lines.

So, I should schedule everybody on Tuesday just in case... I'm with H2F, winging it with kids is a little more difficult...

I know some people are bringing poo buckets, but is anyway bringing a potty tent also? My wife is having a hard time being too "one with nature"

Yes, Bebe is bringing a PETT. Tent/toilet, whole works, just need your own bags.

You're assuming there are some.

I can almost smell the sudden trepidation.
Stop trying to make our peeps askeered. They've already got to sh*t in bags in the woods all the while making sure snakes don't bite their asses.
Who says we have to do the whole trail. From the intel I'm getting, the top part of the Rubi' is pretty chewed up. My buddy with the professional caliber rock rig is going to be running it from the top down to meet us so he'll give us a good assessment of the last 1/3 of the trail. It's going to be sofa king fun!!!

Well from the pics and stories and stuff, it seems like they're all easy lines.

X2. I might try it blind folded just to make it a little challenging.
