Do you all typically leave Thursday night, or Friday morning? Ideally, you come up Thursday when you can, camp and take in the incredible scenery...then we start running groups Friday morning. If you can't make that work, just let us know when you'll be arriving so we have a group for you to run with on Friday. If we have enough interest, could do a run down to Uncle Tom's on Thursday night. SplurGn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don;t think I'll be able to make it until Friday morning, but in case I can get out on Thursday, which camp ground are people staying at? We disperse camp right on the trail, about 500 yards from the Rubicon Trail Foundation Kiosk. So can drive into us as it's a short run or you can park at the staging area and walk over. On Friday however, we begin heading down the trail from 8am until 2pm so get there early if you want to see us head out. Still openings if your rig meets the requirements, but sign up soon as we'll be building the groups this week. SplurGn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far for me is to drop off the trailer at the end of trail {Tahoma} Thursday and make it to camp Late afternoon. Is anyone else dropping off a trailer ? Also do we need extra propane for campfires? to camp Rovicon.kmz Edited August 14, 2023 by lutz update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Mattson Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Iv got a propane fire pit I'm bringing and a tank hopefully it's enough to support the trip but extra propane is never bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elherbinator Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Don and I decided we want to run the Rubicon back to Loon Lake from the Springs. In previous years we have just run the trail from west to east, Loon to the Tahoe side, but have always planned on incorporating an optional run back to Loon Lake for folks trailering. Plus it’s like running a whole new trail if you haven’t done it before. I especially enjoy running Big Sluice uphill instead of our typical downhill descent. Our plan will be to split it into another 2 days and head home on Monday. So the plan will remain the same as far as Friday and Saturday. Sunday morning we will still be running the traditional trail run up Cadillac and to the Tahoe staging area like we have in previous years. For those who are trailering or anybody who would like to run it back to Loon Lake, we will lead an optional group run heading back the way we came and running the trail “backwards” relative to how we have been running it. At this point we aren’t sure how many trucks will want to come, so we aren’t get ahead of ourselves on the specific plans as far as camp and exact parts of the trail we want to do on each day. We will figure it out once we have a better understanding of who would be coming with. So please reply on the thread if you think you’d be running this option with us. We don’t need to know in advance though, so you’re welcome to just figure it out up there and decide on the fly. Feel free to DM myself or Don with any questions or concerns.
