Rubicon trip May 13-15th 2016

[K85 Octane]

Of course
Been thinking of that one or doing Rubicon backwards. I'd like to do Fordyce but it sounds like a short trail, no? Almost like we could do both? 3 days total

Im thinking id like to go all the way to Cadillac and then back track to loon. Thats an easy 3 or 4 days there. I definitely dont want to be as rushed as last time.

Fordyce is about 7-9ish miles. Its also twice as hard as the Rubicon. Theres no way you could run both in 3 days, you'd be lucky to get to the staging ground of Fordyce on the 3rd day. If it was me i would hit Fordyce first if youre thinking about doing it. You need to be fresh for that trail. Before i hit trouble on Fordyce i was moving at a good clip and after 10 hours i got a little over half way, with some breaks of course. Another thing to consider/monitor is the water flow from PG&E. Water went over my hood on one of the creek crossings...Its likely going to be the same with runoff.

I need more trail time with this rig before I start talking about fordyce. Might be a late summer or early fall trip when we do our big trip up in that area.

No worries, I think I will need more seat time too before I would feel totally comfortable hitting fordyce. But I'm ready to hit the rubicon again.

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

I might be down for a late fall fordyce run. Its definitely a trail you need to run with other fullsizes in case theres trouble.

[K85 Octane]

Ok, then we're doing it forwards and backwards. Oh that sounds damn fun

 

[skunked]

sounds more fun than the highway one way.

need to get gas on the other side for sure.

 

[K85 Octane]

Grab gas and a hotel stay on Tahoe side Wake up early next morning and head back to Buck for the night and Loon the next
