Did you guys realize that the TLCA has their "rubithon" trip scheduled a week before our trip!!!??? They ARE NOT rescheduling so we'll have a gang load of people go through one week prior to all of us......perfect! On another note I read last night that the sign on the Tahoma (Tahoe) side that was in the PBB thread was totally exposed later on Sunday. That gives you an idea of how fast the snow can go away.
NINETEEN MORE DAYS.......damn I can't wait! I am going to take the buggy out today & twist it up.

Stacking is a possibilty however that group (TLCA) is one of the most responsible groups involved in 4wheeling- what I mean is *IF* they stack chances are they will "unstack" once unstuck. The TLCA is a first rate group of folks. If we were not going just after them I would have signed up to run with them as I have quite a few friends who are TLCA members. As Steve wrote the main thing is they are going to help break any snow drifts which will be very helpful.

SIXTEEN MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man I am ready.
Something I want you all to remember. Bring warm clothes as the nights will be chilly. The other thing is mosquito repellent.

Are the mosquitoes as big there as around here? As around here the male mesquito can walk up to a female turkey and "plug" her flat footed.

Since y'all are going to be so close to Reno, I would like to suggest you try Louie's Basque Corner, if you get time. Just go easy on the pecan punch. Hmmm phx to reno; 700 miles. not all that far...

Man I wish I had that wiener wagon instead of my buggy cause I hear those things can sell for mucho cash-hence a really, really fly new school buggy (current ride is a solid two years old).
Anyhow back on topic.......two more weeks........is anyone else interested?????
Come Awn this is going to be a great trip you all will be missing out.
Oh, and for a meeting place we'll be waiting (Steve & Familia, and myself & wife Aimee) at the Safeway parking lot in Truckee. You will not miss us (unless you really are blind) since my junk will be up high on a trailer. My wife & I figured this would be a great place just in case anyone is late (Starbucks, Taco Bell, etc all right there). as far a time hmmm... Not to sure what time do Casey & Joe think they can make it there? I can get there in two hours easy going the long scenic way. Since my plan is to get to Buck Lake on day one we should try to be at the staging area by 10:30 am which would make us need to meet in Truckee 9:45 ish .
Talk amongst yourselves.........

Oh I forgot Aimee picked up a campfire permit today from CDF so no one will have to worry about that.
I will bring my welder so if anyone else had planned to bring one you can save space, and leave it at home.
Make sure to have $10 in cash (two fives) this just in case we have to camp at the springs(It is privately owned). Laugh if you will but I am a debit card kind of guy so I have to remember this kind of stuff.
The portable toliet!? It's not mandatory yet as far as I know. Do any of you already use one of these things?

well i just wanted to say that i will be coming along on this trip. riding with casey.
i'd love to wheel my own rig, and despite meeting the min requirements, i don't wanna wheel the con without a front locker/better skids/rear bumper first. yeah, still waiting on those, but i strongly suspect i'll be prepared for the CO4RJ with those.
but anyway, it'll still be rad even riding shotgun. this trip sounds like a blast and i look forward to meeing some new faces and familiar ones again.

I suspected you'd be going charles.
End of June is end of quarter for us so we're usually really busy at work. If it weren't for that I think I've convinced myself of doing the con. It's perfect too, since it's not during the weekend and it's with people who like sheet metal (for the most part). Oh well, next time.
I was wondering what you guys were going to do with your waste.

Naw, pictures don't make me feel good - the trail will do that for me - I'll give anything a try a time or two and hopefully I'll be able to keep up with you "youngsters" in your tricked out con ready rigs.
