Cool. I am SOO surprised no one else is wanting to go. I may ask some friends locally if they would want to go with this low of a turn out.

Put us as tentative. If I can get our rig reliably ready in time, we'll find a way to be there. I might need those extra days to prep for the Exodus. Will confirm in a few weeks based on progress.

a quick couple of questions as I plan for this trip.
Do you plan to stay in the staging area the night of the 17th or someplace in Georgetown or Placerville?
Do you know of anyplace to store doors while on the trail?

We are on our own on the 17th. I am hoping to make it there in time to start at wentworth and stay near Loon Lake.
I would suggest at least starting in georgetown (as I am told that's the original start of the trail)

Thanks for planning all of this. I'll be heading up from SoCal on the 17th. First time on the Rubicon and super excited about this. Looking forward to hitting the trails with y'all!

MAKE SURE!!!! You get gas in GeorgeTown
You Will Loose cell reception around 10minutes out. When you get to the tee 30-45min out of town go left. This camp site will be on the left hand side 6ish miles from the tee. You will pass the street that takes you to loon lake and the entrance to the Rubicon on the right hand side at 1.2ish mile. Sign will be well marked

RE: extra fuel... I'm thinking for my 2011jk I don't need extra gas along, but for my '60 cj I better pack an extra 5 gal Jerry can of petrol. Any suggestions? Am I planning right?

How many miles between gas stations? I have the impression that it's not a lot. That said, if I go, I will fill up my auxiliary fuel carrier, which holds 12 gallons.

JKs will be fine with one tank of gas if you fill up in George Town. Not sure about CJs or TJs
There is a close mom and pop gas station when you pull into Lake Tahoe
I went through a 1/4 tank getting to the Rubicon from George Town to the campsite then backtrack to Loon Lake

Ha...if your co pilot is your daughter. She might like hunting crawdads. My boys caught 86 and had a blast.
Bring some bacon or sausage and fishing line. 2nd waterhole from the big waterhole with the rope swing.
Note, no hooks...just wrap the line around the
the crawdads are so greedy they won't let go. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I wish but she will be in school. Maybe my brother. He could hunt crawdads too. Did you eat them?
