    Me and about 8 to 10 rigs go the Wednesday morning before Memorial day thru Tuesday after Memorial day, but we dont go through, just DRINK, camp, eat, DRINK, horseshoes, lots of BS and day wheeling trips, did I mention DRINK. Too many rigs on the trail that weekend to try to go all the way. Its the guys weekend and we have been doing this for 5 years. All good people. Your welcome to come along if you want.
    We dont have any plans yet this year to go all the way through but will let you know if it happens.

          That snow will melt pretty quick once it starts warming up. My club will be running it June 20-22 and they have done it the last 3 years around then and never had a problem with snow

              Let's plan a NorCal official trip for late Summer Early Fall. Make it a 3 or 4 day trip as far as we can get through. Maybe this way we can weed out the wussie members ....if you plan ikt...they will come.

                    2 days is a nice leisurely trip. 3-4 days would be a lot of fishing time. There shouldn't be a problem getting all the way through. If you can make it to spider, you should be good to go the rest of the way.

                      No doubt...I was assuming that we will have a few marginally ready rigs to help through....that takes a lot of time...but I am game for anything...any day on the Con is a good day!!!

                          If you have 33's and a rear locker you will be fine!! If you don't have a rear locker get one. It was the best modification that I made back then. A front locker will help you as well but with more side effects (broken parts).

                            For anyone going up this Memorial day, please don't
                            With the recent actions and watching so close of the rubicon + still Snow/water run off up there, it has been advised to wait until all of the snow melts before heading up there.
                            For Memorial day, I was going up there, but am now probally heading to Moon Rocks.
