these pictures are making me excited for my trip coming in less than 2 weeks! cant wait!!!

weather looked to be pretty good huh?

Weather was just perfect. It got a bit hot on the trail on the first day (friday) but the saturday we spent at Rubicon Springs was absolutely perfect. The water started off chilly in the morning but as the rocks warmed up in the sun, you could easily just lay in the stream in the afternoon or swim for a few minutes at a time in the deeper sections and then go back on the rocks and get more sun!

Friday night did get a bit cold but again Saturday night ended up being perfect temperature ... I don't know exactly what it was but it couldn't have been lower than mid 50's I would guess.

I should have gone with you guys. I'm sorry I could not make it.

I ended up going on the Jamboree. I just got back.

The trail was great, but the Jamboree was not good this year. I've been for five years but I have to say that I think I'm done with Jamborees.

First, in prior years the food was great. This year the food was awful. Secondly in prior years there was a band for entertainment in the evening. This year there was no band. Also, in prior years there was a photographer on the trail who took your picture and then sold it to you as a poster. Again, not this year.

The other problem is that they divide the group into three sections, based on tire size and modifications. There are a fair number of relatively stock Jeeps. On several spots along the trail the jamboree folks would block the main obstacle and make everyone take the bypass. In other words, they dumb the trail down to the least capable vehicle because not all vehicles would make the obstacle, or there would be breakage. Frankly I didn't drive 1,000 miles roundtrip to take bypasses. They should have allowed those of us with modified vehicles to take the obstacle.

...And it was $350 per person!

By the way, there were two roll overs in the group and Cadillac Hill was the highlight of the trip.

Here are a few pics from the cheapo disposable camera.

I don't know. It all blurs together for me.

That third picture down is called thousand dollar hill.
