Rubicon Trail

[ZOSO]

I am working on timing on my end and will know if this is feasible in June. I have allot going on in a short period of time.

I plan to definitely attend super celebration.

Check the snow pack in June, not sure if it's like the Rockies.

I think he means he will know if he can go once June rolls around.

I think we were looking at not going too early so that we did not run into any Jeep events where it would be miserably crowded.

I believe Chris had a race in Reno the week before so depending on how much earlier we did this- I know that would probably definitely put him out.

So with that said- what are people that originally said they were going thinking on timing? Rob- do you already have a group of buddies committed to the original weekend?

The jeep guys were going to run it the week before us. They didn't want to get caught up running it on a weekend and they are "to good for us".

and they are "to good for us".

If we all add some stickers maybe we can blend in and they wont notice us. lol

There is no snowpack. It's like 35% of average, terrible year. I'd be more worried about forest fires, or even the forest being closed.

My main thing is I want to go as a Bronco group with people that I know and trust and I want Chad to be able to participate with his Bronco so I am very flexible on scheduling.

Thanks Jeff.

I don't have to add 4 days of driving to attend, so I'm pretty flexible. Set the schedule that works best for the Colorado folks. Assuming I can finish this damn shop and get my truck running (and tested) I'm in. If I'm not ready, I'm coming as a passenger if there is a seat.

I'll go back and see what the 'big event' weekends are that we want to avoid.

I also found this calendar. I think its for a campground, not an inclusive calendar, but something to look at. Late August and September looks a lot better, traffic wise. But that only make sense. Forget school schedules the kids will take more from a weekend like this than sitting in a classroom with Mrs. Crabtree*.

THIS!!!!

Don't hesitate taking kids outta school for something like this. My dad did this nearly every year. Late august he would take me out of school for a week of camping and 4wheeling with him, my grandpa, and my uncles. Those are some of the closest memories I hold to my heart and also started my love for the bronco.

I am pretty open to timing. My kids start school a little later, August 20th. I'm good taking them or leaving them. I have pulled them out of school for less as well. My youngest daughter is getting to skip school to go with me for Bronco Safari this year. I also see great value with hanging with the grandparents for a week, giving the wife and I some alone time.

With that said my schedule is pretty flexable weekend or week day.

For me it would be great to finally meet some of you and wheel an epic trail.

Just wanted to check in and see if there is any updates on running the Rubicon this year. Considering the number of events that have been pushed to fall or cancelled was wondering if this is even feasible for everyone that was interested. Anyway times are so just trying to plan and get back on the trail in the future.

[Gunnibronco]

I'll be here, so anyone who makes it out I'm in. Moving into the shop, got my C.O. on Friday, so I can start working on the Bronco soon.

[Eck]

I am sort of on the fence-- as I have had some vacations pushed back so they would start to stack up on each other. But, my work is pretty good at allowing me to take time off so would probably be in for a good time.

The one thing to consider is whether any other "organized" events will change dates and interfere with our ability to get on the trails?

[ZOSO]

I am still in on it. Im still working like so no worries from me there. I just need to find time to get working on the bronco.

I'm in that same boat!

[landshark]

Just an update - I am still on the fence. I have talked to a few folks out in CA/NV and the Rubicon has been pretty busy the last few months and I don't see that easing up anytime soon due to the circumstances.

[Rox Crusher]

Well, the company I work for just completed a major acquisition and we are now going through merger actions. It seems I will be taking on a higher level role which will limit my personal life over next few months.

I am still locked in for SuperCel but Rubicon is now a maybe for me this year.

[pgilbeau]

I have noticed a lot of people have been running the Rubicon this year too. For me I think its probably late in the game to get this going this year. I would say at this point I am out for this year, I have all my effort tied up in getting ready for Super Celebration.

As time goes way too fast I too am in this same boat. I am going to back out of a 2020 run and plan for 2021. This year sucks.

[Justin]

Sounds like we need to cancel and reschedule. I probably can't swing 2 trips that close together.

[Gunnibronco]

After the time it's taken to move into my shop, and other demands on my time, I'm doubting I'll have my rig ready. So 2021 is sounding better for me too.

[Jesus_man]

Such a bummer! Not that I was going, but it's such an epic trip that it hurts a little to see it put on the back burner.

Gives you time to plan and join us.

[Jesus_man]

Just ran into a guy here who goes out there yearly. Just not this year. Says it's 1400 miles. It was 1100 from IL. 300 extra miles is no sweat!

The time off is the killer. I don't have the family support to help shuffle kids around. But with some careful planning, maybe I could get my mom here and see if my dad could convoy with y'all...

[dbasile]

That's a shame.........

Is there anyone still planning on trying?

I am still on the fence if that helps :)

[dbasile]

It does!

[landshark]

I am officially out this year. Too many things stacked and competing for attention and too close to Vegas to Reno then personal stuff that has come up.

[dbasile]

Bummer! I was really looking forward to the trip.

[Gunnibronco]

Bummer! I was really looking forward to the trip.

Me too. I hope we can plan this for next year.

[pgilbeau]

I'd still be in for next year!
