Well the TLCA group(s) already have rigs entering the trail! Tomorrow there will be in excess of 100 rigs in the main group. It sure is tempting to go take a scout run into the springs to meet up with the association members BUT I'm still finishing up regular business since we'll be closed for a few weeks(my first real vacation in seven years!!!!!).

Joe & Casey email me (stubbswelding@yahoo.com) so that I can get your cell#'s , and also so I can give you both mine.

Richard

Oh, if you go over to the Landcruiser section of PBB, and look at the thread "rubithon in the snow" there are very recent pictures, and a couple of stories so you can get an idea of what to expect.

We pull out very early tomorrow morning (Monday) and head to Death Valley.

We'll be in Susanville Tuesday night, I'll see the rest of you guys in Truckee on Thursday bright and early.

Talked to Schaefer last night.

They are all safely off the trail.

Sounds like a memorable time.

Got back this morning at 4am. Left the trail around 630.
A truly indescribable trip. It was absolutely beautiful and the trail was much harder than I expected.
We have many stories and lots of pics and videos. I'm sure they'll be posted soon.

It was a really good trip. Everyone did well and we all had fun. Definitely a lot more water/mud than expected, but it wasn't too bad. I'm thinking Schaefer or someone is compiling the pics for release, so I've held back on posting a link to my gallery of pics, but hopefully they'll come up soon.

I only experienced the 'Con as a passenger, but that's all it took for me to fall in love with it - the scenery and challenge are quite the experience. I look forward to the day when I can wheel my junk on there.

Charles, you can post a link to what you have. I have all of my pics, Charles's pics and Stubbs pics.

All I need is Casey's and Joe's, but I don't think Joe is back to Fargo yet.

Steve told me about that last night. I would like to have heard that post-incident conversation.

Did you get good news yesterday?

I was getting the same error at about 6:30am, i posted here, but then deleted my post when it started working. I think it's a problem with the host. Funny thing was the error message was like:

This domain expired on 1-15-06, blah blah other stuff.

Maybe the server is a Ford?
