Typical memorial weekend weather? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Been to the Rubicon in the summer but never that early as this Memorial weekend so I wonder what typical weather and trail condition would be like at this time of this month?

Need to know so I will bring necessary camping gears.

thanks in advance

Daytime temps should be nice, but it can get darn right cold over night.

Oh gee! this is not what I expected! Ok, I will bring DEET...

thanks for the advice.

Actually my guess is only the male mosquitos will be out. With the cooler weather we have been having, I have been up there this time of year and seen black swarms of non-biting buggers. I'd still bring the repellant tho.

This weekend was great weather, but still got really cold at night. And the mosquitoes were out in force...PIA

There is still snow in the shadows, but other than that, you would think it was July
