Without question, the WAYALIFE EPIC TREX Rockin Rubicon Runs are always a great time but with almost 30 Jeeps and well over 50 amazing people coming from as far away as Idaho, Ohio, New York and Massachusetts, I'd have to say that this was by far one of the best ones ever! Everyone was so much fun and I still can't stop laughing every time I think about the crazy good times we had at camp. Of course, Andrew proposing to Julie on the trail and her accepting was truly icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take as many pics as I would have preferred but, below are a few that I was able to grab with my phone. It is my hope that others were able to snap a few as well and will add them to this thread.
2 DAYS BEFORE THE RUN
A couple of days before our run, a bunch of people decided to make their way up to Tahoe early and a few of them were kind enough to stop by Camp WAYALIFE to say hello.
Keagan, Alana and Jay were the first of the East Coast folks to show up.
To help welcome all our guests, we decided to have a BBQ and wait for the rest of the East Coast crew to show up.
To good times ahead!
Late into the night, they finally showed up. Here's a shot of Andrew saying hello to everyone.
1 DAY BEFORE THE RUN
Bright and early the next day, everyone who came by Camp WAYALIFE to strip down and store their tops and doors.
Having driven well over 2,500 miles, a few of the guys from the East Coast like Andrew decided to use some of the tools at Camp WAYALIFE to do a once over and take care of some well needed maintenance before hitting the Rubicon.
East Coast rigs stripped down and ready to go.
Getting ready to go up the street to do some flex testing and go over a few of the Jeeps that got worked on.

This is about the point where Andrew proposed to Julie and so, I'm kind of thinking this part of the Rubicon Trail should now be referred to as "Proposal Point"
Coming around and close to the granite slabs.
There's still a bit of water up on top of the slabs.
