All in all it was a blast. This was the first time we attempted to complete the whole Rubicon in one night. As you can see from the pictures we didn't do it. We made it from Loon Lake to Buck Island in 7 hours. It would've been quicker without Jake playing in the Sluice, a couple of flats and a tweeked front drive shaft. We reached the staging area at the Tahoe side about 2 PM on Sunday. It was a great trip.
