RUBICON......AUGUST 22nd-25th, Any problems with this???

[jays68yak]

Ok so I know a few of us have talked about going to the con this year. Its almost 07 and time to start asking for days off well in advance so I can make a trip or 2 this year.

Do we want to do it like last time and go in the week? This would be GREAT for me as my schedule so supposed to change after the first and Ill have friday-saturday off. So do we want to try for a wed-sat thing? tues-friday? tues-sat?

What part of the year? Is BF going to be in July or June? Before or after that? Id like to go so Im not freezing my arse off in the middle of the night when I have to wake up and take a poo.

Lets get this talk going to we can nail down some dates.

Whos down to go? Dates?

[barbastard]

I'm down to go. As far as dates go I won't need one....I'm married. :p

I'd suggest like May or August and a Wednesday to Saturday run or something like that.

[jays68yak]

Well pismo is in May so I dont think May is going to work for some people.

[barbastard]

Dude...don't even get me started with the sandy mangina comments. Bah....pismo is for broke back blazer boyz who like to play in the sand and build sand castles. :flipoff2:

Although.....if everything goes as planned......I should have a nasty little 383 built and in the rig by then so my excuse for never going (because my rig is a gutless wonder) wouldn't be valid anymore. hmmmmmmmm :unsure:

Fine....not May. I don't really care when. Although any earlier than May I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it.

[crewcabroller]

Did you see the Cherokee video I posted? Also did you know Jerry has another toy....san rail. I think this year should be fun.

no doubt....that cracks me up everytime i hear him say that. Funny though....how my old technology worked flawlessly in the rain in Moab and his "new" technology kept on having fits. :rolleyes:

I'll see about Pismo....

but, lets get this post back on track. So...if not May then when?

[jays68yak]

I say july or august..

[Red Chevy Girl]

I plan on hitting the con at least twice but not till it warms up a bit. So as long as its june or later im a go.

[CaptainInsano]

I'm down whenever except for in the snow. NO donner party shit for me.

I've never been to the con. :( Latin --> ConCherryIntactus

[barbastard]

I'm down whenever except for in the snow. NO donner party shit for me.


Don't worry Mark......I think you're safe here....no one in our club wants to eat you.

:flipoff2:

[DieTryingK5]

i'm down jay, not picky on dates, jsut let me know when. Been wanting to go there for awhile now.

[Cracker]

If it were May or August I'd prefer August. I'm scheduled to take boards on 6/28 and I don't know if I'll be able to use my Pismo reservations for Memorial Day. :uh oh:

[bggrnchvy]

I wanted to go last year, I couldn't make it happen, this year sounds like a plan. Early August would be pretty cool, at least then I have the excuse that its a belated or early birthday trip for my company :blink:

[barbastard]

You have an August Bday too? I'm down with a late August (say...around the 22nd :rolleyes: ) trip. It'd be nate dog bday bash. Also....definitely going to do a high lakes trip this year...maybe around the bday...of course depending on when the Rubicon trip is.

[bggrnchvy]

Yup, but mines earlier by a bit, being the 6th. My only conflict would be classes and at this point Im not sure if Im taking the 6 or 8 week summer course so Ill just hope for the best I guess. Work will be easy enough to get out of for a few days.

[crewcabroller]

Mine is on the 2nd, who's bringing the hookers for the Rubicon Birthday Bash? :pimp2:

[jays68yak]

not it.

[bggrnchvy]

Mine is on the 2nd, who's bringing the hookers for the Rubicon Birthday Bash? :pimp2:

Ill leave the proffesional females to the singles, Ill be tossing a few brewskies back in commemoration of my 21st.

[barbastard]

So am I hearing a mid august trip in order then? Could function as a bday celebration for all us Leo's. Plus....it's enough time after bfest to have our junk back up and running.

[jays68yak]

That does sound like it would work out rather well. :2thumbs:

[Burt4x4]

Lurking :unsure:

[jays68yak]

Ok I added a poll. :2thumbs:

[crewcabroller]

I voted for the 1st through 4th because I want you guys to bring me birthday presents... :flipoff2:

I'm down for anytime, I do like the colder trips though more thna mid summer but whatever.

[Cracker]

I have no idea what my rotation schedule will be but this is the trail that I've wanted to do.

[crewcabroller]

Lets see... Medical school, finishing, getting a job that pays more than enough to keep you going in any hobby you want or going to the rubicon... I think the choice is obvious :rolleyes: ROOOBICON!

[CaptainInsano]

I don't care about the dates, but when out of those would be the least crowded? Thats my pick.

[Cracker]

Maybe my truck will be done by then, maybe not. :p

[gr8pumkin]

If my trucks done I'm in for sure.... Man I need a job :crazy:

[Nosmog73]

If my trucks done I'm in for sure.... Man I need a job :crazy:

Lodi PD is hiring :2thumbs:

[barbastard]

so....what was the final decision? Have we even MADE a final decision or are we still waiting on more votes?

[jays68yak]

Looks like the 15th-18th to me. Should we wait for more people?

[Hoss]

ill go when ever... if i have a rear locker i might take the burban if not ill ride shot gun with some wun nate are you going and if so can i ride with you

HATER :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

[jays68yak]

Ok well I think this has been up long enough. According to the poll its the 15th-18th. Thats a wednesday - saturday. Gives us another day if needed/wanted or an extra day to unwind once home.

Go put your time off requests in. I just did mine. :)

[KidJethro]

I don't have a rig anymore, but if the weather is warm, theres a chance I could bring my gramps Yamaha Grizzly 660 out there and run the 'Con on that. Could be interesting. :)

Count me in for a solid maybe. :pimp2:

[CaptainInsano]

I can't go on that middle weekend now, have a wedding to go to for family that the wifey is in. :(

Unless we go a different weekend I guess I am out. :unsure:

[jays68yak]

Well hot august nights is the first part of the month so I bet a few people from here would be tied up with that.

[barbastard]

8/22 to 8/25 :unsure:

But then Mark would owe us all one for totally rearranging the trip for him.....hmmmmm :flipoff2:

[jays68yak]

yeah seriously. and I alerady got my time off approved. :rolleyes:

Mark do those dates work for you? Everyone else do those dates work for you?

[DieTryingK5]

yeah seriously. and I alerady got my time off approved. :rolleyes:

works for me, count me in.

[CaptainInsano]

8/22 to 8/25 :unsure:

But then Mark would owe us all one for totally rearranging the trip for him.....hmmmmm :flipoff2:

Yes these would work! I got approval from the wifey. Locked in. Is it legal to take a keg to the ruby? Being a county road and all. A keg of Mirror Pond Pale sure would be nice. Make a keg mount for my flat bed and of course I would provide the keg too, even filled with beer. :D

[Burt4x4]

ahhh shit now I have to go :beer: :beer: :beer:

[crewcabroller]

It's legal at camp, but not on the trail, hell I'll kick you out if your drinking on the trail.

[jays68yak]

After watching the people on the trail last time drinking, Ill pass on drinking while wheeling.

[Nosmog73]

My time off slip will be going in when I go back to work at the end of the month.. :2thumbs:

[stunnin650]

me and the sammi are in

[CaptainInsano]

[jays68yak]

Jer HAHA


Jen, Hell yeah! Im expecting you to come now.

[jays68yak]

Oh and I figure Ill leave this up for another week to see if anyone has any problems with the new dates that we changed just so Mark can come. :p

[CaptainInsano]

Are girls allowed on this trip?

gawd I hope so, otherwise maybe I joined the wrong club? It is the bay area afterall...

:rainbow1:

[barbastard]

Bah....age is just a number......it aint no big deal.

[Red Chevy Girl]

You've got it all wrong its not turning thiry, its 29 and holding :2thumbs:

[k5LS2]

So what do you all think about meeting at the safeway around noon, making our way to the staging area by 2 or 3 and wheel into the night? Ive never night wheeled at night, and have always wanted to. We could always meet at the staging area and leave a 2- 3 hour window for everyone to make it. Last year I was "holding up" Crewcabroller who really needed to get to the top of the mountian first, this way there is a cushion for any slow pokes or breakdowns So what do you guys think???

[jays68yak]

Well if thats the case why not just start out in the am, wheel all the way to buck even if it means setting up camp at night. Id be down for so night wheeling. Just make sure Jason knows where he is going this time.

[crewcabroller]

I definately do not see us gettin to buck the first day. Don't forget us southern boys that have to drive 5-6 hours to get there. Meeting at 2-3pm sounds much better to me and then wheelin in to as far as we can get sounds like the plan.

[FRIZZLEFRY]

... Ive never night wheeled at night, ...

So what,you have always night wheeled durring the day???

[k5LS2]

Yep looking forward to this trip :2thumbs:

[PowerWagonsintheSand]

Hi, all
I have been wanting to run the Rubicon, and I was wondering if you all thought my 05 Power Wagon could make it with out too much body damage? I have added a leveling kit and 35's(kind of small to what you guys/gals are running).

[k5LS2]

Your power wagon will be fine (assuming you have the optional lockers)
as for body damage, drivers skill is all you need :beer:

[gr8pumkin]

I think my truck is going to be done so tentitively count me and Alisha in for this trip... :D

[Burt4x4]

I'm in on this one too :beer: :beer:

[PowerWagonsintheSand]

Yeah it's got lockers.
So Count me in.javascript:emoticon(':beer:')

[chvyhs]

Lurking :unsure:
That's me right now.
I should have those days off. I just have a lot of building to do. If I make it, I'll have the wife and kids.

I definately do not see us gettin to buck the first day. Don't forget us southern boys that have to drive 5-6 hours to get there. Meeting at 2-3pm sounds much better to me and then wheelin in to as far as we can get sounds like the plan.

I'm another 5 hours south of Bako. :roll:

Are the dates the 15-18 or 22-25?

[CaptainInsano]

I'm in unless I destroy my truck between now and then! :beer:

:uh oh: I already did. :( I think I should have it back together by then though. Need to fix that stupid rear locker, if it had worked I think I would have been able to get out of that hole.

[jays68yak]

You havnt welded that thing up yet?

[gr8pumkin]

gov bomb :2thumbs:

[CaptainInsano]

nope :( I went wheelin again instead. I'll weld it up before I go out again for sure though. Now I have to do my damn steering too. I might go hydro behind the knuckles so its out of harms way completley. not sure yet. got no dinero to spend on it currently.

[gr8pumkin]

Yeah WFO, IMO the only way to go. Great customer service and their here in cali so your supporting someone local and like you said everything is up and out of the way. The only issue might be the fact you'll have to trim you cross member down for clearence issues but thats it.

So far I have the days off so I can make this trip but my wife and kids will be starting school the week before. I'll see if one of my brothers can make it out with me.

What kind of trip is this going to be? Hard wheeling everyday? I want to camp at one of the lakes for a couple of days. How far is everyone planning on going? If everyone is going to Rubicon Springs, I'll just stay and Buck Island Lake and catch everyone on the way back.

[crewcabroller]

This group? Hard wheelin? You know better than that :p

[barbastard]

[kpanza]

Jason, can you give me the latest as far as dates and meeting times? We should have a group coming from So Cal and we wanted to know more details to plan for...thanks. Any chance of a Tuesday thru Friday trip, or are we set on the Wednesday-Saturday? Just wondering...I'll catch shit for missing my niece's birthday that Saturday, but I'll live...my bro can't go though if it's through Saturday (his wife would kill him). :)

[crewcabroller]

I have no idea, no one is saying much to me, I'll start a post about it...

[kpanza]

Ok, thanks...we were talking about it at our Adopt A Trail cleanup and the consensus seemed to be a Tuesday through Friday or Saturday run, but we're open to whatever of course...it's a real long haul from down here, so I'd rather not pull an all nighter and then hit the trail right away, but I'm sure adrenaline will kick in!

Keep us posted on the details! I've heard of Chris, Garrett, Max, me, Jason W, etc planning on going...probably forgot a few others, but should be a handful of trucks from down this way...
