To show the people who haven't been there what it looks like, I present these images.

Waterfalls abound.

Lots of water near Rubicon Springs.

Yep, there is not much that's as nice as running and camping the Rubicon. I hope the mid-week schedule allows for planty of out of towners to make the trip this year. Up to five days on the 'Con wheeling, camping, and hanging out is going to be a real nice vacation. Plus, there won't be much traffic like there can be on a weekend.

If you've been wanting to run the Rubicon, this is the way to do it. Plus we'll have Fordyce and Barrett Lake thrown in if you have the time.

Dang, that looks real nice! Helen and I are gonna shoot for this one. My gear seems to meet the criteria, but I'm the low end of just about all the requirements.

31 MT's, 4.10 gears, 29 spl 8.25, rear locker, 4.5" lift, rock rails, gas tank skid, xfer case skid, tow hooks in the front and hitch in the back

Will that take a lot of the fun out of it?

I'm very similarly setup to you, and I will be trying to run it in late June (certain things just complicated my August

) so I will let you know how it goes. You're also stick shift, arent you?

Jeff, glad you're planning to join us.......you'll love it! It's easily worth the drive, just like us coming back to Moab. It's also nice to be able to have a real relaxed pace. The camping spots are so good that it's a shame if you can't hang out a little. The wheeling's fun, too.

loop · Feb 4, 2004

oh my...Jazzy Jeff is going to make it out for this run?? that and the excellent mid week scheduling just made up my mind i believe! unbelievable...XJEEPER on the west coast...nice :guitar:

Phil · Mar 4, 2004

TTT for the Rubicon! Any more pictures?

Big Red · Mar 6, 2004

I moved from Chicago to Citrus Heights, CA to be able to do the con, bring it on

CRASH · Mar 17, 2004

Jes, you are breaking my heart...

The only thing worse than seeing those pix and knowing that I have to go to work tomorrow is seeing the Crystals every day on my way home from work and not being able to get up there. Snow's melting fast, but the Crystals are still, quite visibly, snowbound...

I got the trail itch, bad. I can't figure out whether it's more important to complete the kitchen remodel or light a fire under Crash to get the XJ done...

Jes · Mar 18, 2004

Yep Britt, I'm ready to get back up there for some relaxation.

If Andy would get that thing going there is still time for another JV run before it get's to hot.
I'm looking forward to a week on the con this summer. I think it has been 3 years sense the last trip.

Lu.... get Crash cranking on the rig so that he can show me around

CRASH · Mar 18, 2004

I'd settle for him fixing the dang-blasted cookies so that I can log in again.

The man tends to get the most work done when I take off on the weekends. Fortunately, I'll be gone for the next two. I'm expecting a brand spankin new shiny red Princess II by April 5.
