What can I say but WOW!!! As most of you know, we just got back from running the Rubicon Trail with DizzyLiz and kidjeep and for those of you who haven't had the opportunity to run it for yourself, let me tell you, it really is everything that it's cracked up to be. Likewise, there is a reason why the Jeepers Jamboree has the world famous legendary status that it has and it's that they put on one hell of an event. I apologize for not have more photos than I do but we were short a photographer and were forced to choose between taking video or still the entire way. Anyway, here are a few shots from our run....
