Three Rovers and Their Rubicon\
(oops, seems that some of the photo
links have been broken. Am trying to re-link now)
I was trying to look up a friend, and found his web page that had photos we'd taken of
our Rubicon trip. I completely forgot about those.
Rubicon is a fantastic trip. It's located just west
 of Lake Tahoe, and
ends at the lake. It's about 9 nasty miles long, a bit over 30 miles
including the access roads that can also
be a fender-smasher. It can be done in one day in a well set-up rock
crawler, and takes 2 hard days in
a
 Range Rover, if you don't break anything bad. Bring hiking shoes, take
3-5 days, and enjoy the scenery.
If you go, expect body and tie-rod damage
on
 Rovers with wide flanks long overhangs, and low clearance.
In the Range Rover it's hard work the whole way, and there are some real nasty
spots.
Remember too, the trail changes every year The
 trail difficulty changes each year, and during the year as snows and rain move
things around, and as the trail gets groomed during the year. Go before
the Jamboree and it is
 harder,
go right after 500 or so Jeeps and journalists go through, and it will probably
be easier. In any vehicle, bring along a friend, lots of patience,
and a good attitude.
