Talking Wife is a Rubicon Trail TEASE

Well......

Went on up to Tahoe for a get-away weekend: had a place to stay free of charge

ALL the wife wanted to do was sun-bath and walk along the beach/shore.....((and with me of course.....
I cant get away THAT easily!!!! LOL!))

So anyway, wife says on the second of 3 days we're there.....at 4:30..."Whatcha wanna do??????"

HA! Whatttaya THINK I saidRUBICON HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we head out from North Shore and get to the trail head...after stopping for gas....stopping for
shops....stopping for food...stopping for a man on his way to talk to a horse.......... And so we get
there to the trail head. Rather deceptive on just how lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng and Smoooooooooth
that initial PAVED section is LOL!

Wife is in noooooooooo way a *Hardcore* rockcrawler...she loves trail rides and forest roads...but I
KNEW this was gonna be interesting.

Make it to the spot where the sign says "PVEMENT ENDS" and they wern't kidding!
Immediately there was a THUMP as we went off the pavement Wife looks at me
and says "Hmmmmm, is it gonna be one of THOSE rides where I'm gonna wish you left
me back home?????" HOWWWWW Does a guy answer THAT?????????????????

Well, long story made short: When we hit the trailhead it was already about 6:30-7pm...
.... I had NO MAP....no trailguide, No spotter (wife wasn't gonna do it).................. So I said
What the Hell-- AND DROVE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Drove in for about a HALF MILE if that....Wife was already giving me the evil eye like
I'd be sleeping on the couch for a week if I didn't stop making her....um..... appendages (LOL!) Jiggle

So to make her happy, and the fact we had NOOOOOO idea where to tread, no camping gear,
and only ONE roll of toilet paper-- I let prudence get in the way of us making national
headlines of "Couple goes missing on Rubicon Trail" and turned the beast around and headed out

Anyway- here are a couple shots Some might enjoy.....

Yeah. WISH I could say I did the whole thing, just the wife and I but I can at least say I got a taste & got the jeep's feet wet.
