Heading for the Rubicon tomorrow
 

I'v lived in this region for 16 years, and never been there. I'm going with
a group of Jeepsters, at least we share common parts.

You should have a great time. We did it last year, started at around 10AM
and made it to Buck Island Lake first day, then just did the big Sluice the
second day and camped at Rubicon Springs. Did Cadillac Hill the next day and
on to Tahoe. We had eight in our group, which was just about perfect. Expect
slow going, lots of dust and a relentless string of obstacles.

You will love it!!!!

Its fun (however unless you locked, loaded, and don't mind possible body damage I
don't recommend the Wentworth springs entrance). Its not all that hard IMO, although
there are spots (like I said above) that are. That is some fantastically beautiful
country. I have not made the whole run yet, we went in, camped near where the two
entrances come together (one guy had busted a front axle already). Next day went on
to Buck Island Lake, camped there for 3 days, took a day run to Rubicon Springs and
back, then went out the Loon Lake entrance (well, I didn't manage that, busted a
drive line and took the escape route towards bugle lake out). A most memorable and
enjoyable trip!!!

Have fun, and take lots of memory sticks for your camera.
