Midweek would be cool. We could travel out and back on the weekends.

Definitely interested in a Rubicon and Fordyce trip. Mid-week would be best as we would be looking at a total of four days traveling from New Mexico - travel on the weekends. Two or three days camping on the trail with motel on either end would be fine with us.
I know someone that has a semi truck with a trailer. He would want to go though, I think it can only hod three rigs.
Well we can park ours on each other kind of Keith. I can take my bedsides off crawl up on Scott's then you can crawl up on Horton and the primma Donna (@ashman ) can be all by himself
So is there space to park at the trail ? Or a town close to park in ? What do we do with tow rigs is my question?
Parking lot on the East end. Left the semi and a trailer there for 2 nights. It was tight one lane road getting in. Might be tough with a 40 foot trailer behind a semi. And getting around the Tahoe area was scetchy as all get out. Too many people not paying attention.
I could have killed hundreds of tree huggers who were not paying attention.

Not any more with that muffler.....

Around Emerald Bay? Always a shit show through there in the summer with all the tourists.

Yep.
How does fuel usually work out? I was just thinking 3 days of trail running will consume a good bit of fuel.
bring a 5 gallon can and some cash for bribes
I used 6 gallons of gas.
Bet I used more than that on Moab Rim
No way, did you go all the way through?
I think I may have used half a tank or so. I can't quite remember

you also have to keep in mind that gas stations are not close to either trailhead. If you go in through Georgetown it's a 40 mile stretch to the trailhead at Loon. On the Tahoe side it's a 20 minute drive to North Shore for fuel, 40+ minute drive to South Lake.
last time we ran the trail I used over a 1/2 tank from Georgetown through wentworth (when I broke). That was the primary reason why I put the bigger tank in.

We filled at the "rip you off at $6 a gallon" station going into loon lake. Then loaded on the truck at the end.
ouch
