    My wife and I are going to run/attempt to run The Rubicon Aug 24-26. It will be our first time there and the hardest trail we've done. We're usually up for solo trips but I figured I'd open this up to other folks who may be interested. We are NOT going to The Rubicon to blaze through it and run the hardest lines possible. We ARE going for the amazing scenery and camping and to see the various obstacles that I've read so much about over the years. I grew up around Lake Tahoe and love the granite, dust and trees of the Sierra Nevada. We are also completely open to turning around if we feel like we're in over our heads or are stressing out more than having fun. I'd rather go check out other trails/camping than stress myself or my wife out trying to run a trail above our capabilities. We are both conservative, good-natured, level-headed and not awful at problem solving. I'm also fairly handy with wrenches. We will be as fully self sufficient as if we were going alone (after all, we are willing to go alone). And, yes, we understand the benefit/safety of multi-rig trips anywhere remote. But we are also willing to venture out on our own if we feel comfortable doing so.

    I would like to find some similar minded folks (1-2 rigs would be perfect, I think) who may want to go with us. Someone with recent experience on that trail would be great but not a necessity.

    Please feel free to post up any other trip planning details that you may want to share.

    I realize this is crazy short notice but I figured I'd put it out there. Thanks.
