I'm a bit late getting to this forum, sorry about that.
Here's our tentative schedule for the week.
August 14th: Meet up at the Eagle Lakes Road Exit on Highway 80, this is about 45 minutes from the Nevada state line, and 75 minutes from Sacramento. We will run Fordyce in one shot, with a one night cushion if we have major issues. We will stay the night at Meadow Lake, at the end of the trail.
August 15th: Leisurely travel day, depending on how many rigs we have we can travel on Highway 89 around Lake Tahoe, stop in South Lake for a nice lunch, and then head into Loon Lake. The real hard-core brothers can take a short cut from Tahoe to Loon by running the 'Con backwards.
August 16th: Meet at the Loon Lake Dam for air down and safety check. Leave at 10am. It's about half a days run to our first camp spot at Spider Lake depending on the size of the group and any issues.
August 17th: Play day. We'll spend the day at Spider, messing around in Little Sluice, swimming in the lake, and doing some hiking. Very nice in here this time of year.
August 18th: Trail Day. We'll make a leisurely track to Rubicon Springs. Should be a half day run if we have no issues. There is a tougher and easier way to get to the springs, and we'll likely split the group and meet up again at Buck Island Lake. The tougher way is Old Sluice, the easier way is the "Slabs". Both are very fun.
August 19th: Relax at the springs. This is a play day for everyone. Some really fun stuff to do at the springs, including lots of hiking, sunbathing and fishing.
August 20th: Break camp and head up Cadillac Hill. Should be back at Lake Tahoe by 2:00 pm. Those that are headed to Barrrett will make a loop back to that trail. To the rest: Bon Voyage.
August 21: Head up to Barrett Lake and spend one night.
August 22: The end of the road!
Haven't figured out the meal situation. We should have at least one good potluck, probably Monday or Tuesday night. There will also be wine tasting nightly, so everyone that wants to participate should bring two good bottles (not boxes ) of wine. This is an effort to inject culture into our sport.
For the trailer crew, this trip is really trailer friendly, since we are basically making big loops.
Lots of other stuff to plan, and we are always open to input!
