some pics from rubicon last weekend

[rockthedog]

the Dixon club invited me to go wheelin w/ them . they are winch hill comm for sierra trek so since it's canceled they spent the week at the con..... bkcruiser and irongoddess joined us fri night. i went up thurs morning and came home sun .....got some wheelin in all 4 days. didn;t take many pics . as a matter of fact i didn't get pics of all 7 rigs that were there.

these are a bunch of good guys . they have one cruiser in there midst and tollerated a couple more ....bk and i

these guys eat like kings too

i finally got to try soup bowl ...... i've been driving by it for years now trying not to make eye contact , so i figured since the 1 ton is done it's time to take a stab at it

this huge boulder fell off the left side of walker blocking the trail. driving over would have meant getting up the dirt side and making the erosion worse so we winched it down hill . it started out behind where the people are , in the narrow part

bst part of the rescue was meeting this guy , 85 i think, wheeled the con first time in '54......super cool guy . he went all the way home and got an axle for this guy he didn't know.....brought back his son grandson and great grandson.
