    It hailed on us yesterday...




    The wind was intense.

    ...wasn't the kayaking trip we were expecting, so we left early.


    Saw this flatbed gem up at the other spot.

    Also, there's various pieces of equipment and supplies along the road; it will be officially closed soon...

    You weren’t kidding! Are they going to build a new bridge with better drainage or what?

    There won't be a bridge anymore. The road will be filled up to match the existing grades, with the creek flow redirected under the road through those 48-inch culverts. They've got similar setups all over out there, including the next upstream crossing of Canyon Creek.

    That last spot on the side of the cooler is for the pack-n-play and the dry food stuff.

    Some really cool shit
    Last chance to get in on the action. Monday three of us are hitting the Rubicon. One or two more rigs would be welcome. Send PM if you would like to join us. We’ll leave Bay Area Monday morning and see how far we can get on the trail that day.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Take pics, have fun, be safe. Watch for rattlers.

    Rattle snakes just want to be left alone. Don't kill them just because you happen to roll up into their home.
