Rubicon Trail 2003
Well, after the long and tedious build up of the Samy. I got it to the point where I could go on a trip for the 1st shake down cruise! It was supposed to be the Hammers, but my buddy Keith was heading on down to the Rubicon..And I figured why not:) So I told Nate that we're "going to the Con"
Keith brought his brand new 72 mini winie along for the trip...nicknamed Cuz'n Eddie. It does not look like much now but Cuz'n Eddie was nice'n warm at the Loon lake camp ground.
We met up with another freind that both Keith and I met on previous Rubicon trips named Samit. Cool dude and sweet trail leader.
Starting to head in, here are a couple of pics of Nate and I just after the Gate keeper.
Samit,Keith and I going in to the bowl, just past the Loon lake dam (Nate is tail Gunner)
Keith testing his luck on the rock that rolled him the year before (just above Walkers Rock)
These three pics are of Samit,me, and Nate on the squeeze rock.
Nate jumping into Spider lake for a "bath".
After a good night sleep at Spider, Keith gave the old zuk a good looking at and found one of his control links breaking!
After meeting a nice fellow, we learned he had an on-board welder hummmmmm I wonder who got to do all the welding???? I won't say it's me but I have a lot of slag burns on my right arm LOL
Above are me in the little sluice...having WAY too much fun!
Keith in the little sluice.... I guess my stick welding is good to go! LOL
I have more pics that I'll upload later:p
