Rubicon

[lbh]

Hello everyone. I ran the Rubicon (third time this summer) along with four other trails in the area (Strawberry, Deer Valley, Barret Lake and Slick Rock) and was happy to see that the Rubicon was tougher than ever. This was the toughest I have seen it in years, however, it will be "modified" this week as the guys for the Jeepers Jamboree and Jeep Jamboree were reporting up to "stack rocks" I ate it when they do that. Just an FYI. The other trails were a lot of fun and moderately challenging. I will be hading back up next month to run Fordyce if anybody would like to come along. An extra rig is always nice.

It depends on traffic and breakdowns. I have run it in one day (8 hours) from Loon lake to the top of Cadilac Hill--this is pushing it. Last week there were several broken shafts, steering linkage, drivelines along the trail that held everyone up. At the top of Walker hill, two TJs lost a bead that took time to reseat. Then at the little sluice box (if you decide to go through) we had two broken axles (D44 sand a driveshaft). At the bottom of the Big/Old Sluice there was a cherokee who snapped its steering linkage. Finally, we were delayed on Cadilac as a moron had a locked D35 while running 35's with STOCK shafts that snapped. All in all, we were delayed!!!!!! A good pace is two days, make it into Buck Island or the Springs and camp, then head out the next day. Again, it was more difficult this last run, which made it more fun.
