RECON G6 Challenge & Rock Riot "Cantina for the Con"

[DRIVNMF]

Rubicon Trail Foundation & RECON Crawlers

Presents

CANTINA FOR THE CON G6 CHALLENGE

The Rubicon Trail Foundation or RTF is a federally recognized, non profit organization dedicated to the future health of the Rubicon Trail. With the help of several 4 wheel drive clubs and countless hours from volunteers who may or may not belong to the Friends of the Rubicon (FOTR), have completed numerous trail maintenance projects since 2001.

The Rubicon Trail is the grandfather of all trails and is the most well known 4x4 trail in the World. I’ve been running the Rubicon since 1997. That was the first and last year my Dad wheeled the Rubicon with me over the Fourth of July weekend and for me personally, every trip I’ve made over the Rubicon Trail since then, temporally fills the “missing you Dad” void in my heart. Besides the obvious bonds of off roaders, the one thing that everybody who has ever driven the Rubicon Trail shares is their “first time”. These experiences that are formed on the Con must be allowed to continue and unify strangers, bond families, and keep building adventures for the next generation of off roaders.

The Cantina for the Con started off with like minded wheelers selling tacos from the tailgates of their rigs. 8 years later, thousands of dollars in donations, several hundred pounds of beef and chicken, hardcore volunteers, and one of the coolest fundraising raffles on the planet, The Cantina for the Con helps RTF do its job in keeping the Con opened and maintained for us. So when RECON Crawlers was contacted to be part of this fundraising event, the G-Train couldn’t get into 4 low fast enough.

The G-Train is gearing up for a truly amazing G6 and we’re headed to the LoonLake spillway for 3 days of fun. Saturday will begin with a Rock Riot in the morning and Stage 1 of the G6 starting in the afternoon. All G6’ers are invited to stay with the G-Crew at CampRECON. Stage 2, a night stage, will start when the stars fill the sky and will be the first G6 night stage ever held on the Rubicon Trail. The RECON G6 Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge (G6 UTAC) will begin Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon will be a RECON Crawlers 1:1 trail run. Bring your 1:1’s, utv’s, or atv’s and experience part of the Rubicon Trail with us. Throughout the weekend, RECON will be giving G6’ers trail rides on Saturday and Sunday.

No sir. The Team Class is still two drivers sharing a G-Ride.

The G6 UTAC, Ultimate Team Adventure Challenge is my version of a team event and more will be posted as it gets closer.

For those interested, get a 3 driver team together and get ready to have the time of your life!

I just checked and I think there is a paved road to the Loon Lake resevior which is supposed to have a campground.

I have not been there is 15 years, so I don't remember how I got there or what it looks like. I'm not even sure I camped there since we wheeled in and got there at night.

Anyone have any insight on this?

[underdog75]

I have wheeled the Rubicon numerous times and will again this summer. The road to the spill way is paved until the last couple hundred feet. There are numerous areas to camp just off of pavement in the area. The spill way itself is gravel with a slight incline at the bottom where you turn to go down to the most popular starting points to the trail. A Honda Civic can make it to the spill way.

The Cantina for the Con is a big event so camping may fill up. I would get reservations early. Parker's post made it sound like the group is camping down at the bottom of the spill way. It isn't hard to get there. The spill way is constructed of countless tons of granite and the whole area has tons of opurtunity for rc.

In my opinion this event will be awesome.

You, fellow UFC fan & instructor of our youth, are never a "schmuk". Driving a little white car to the con, is brave & no mere mortal would ever think of such a thing. You won't have an issue, White Lightning had no problems last year getting to staging & I might have an alternative for you as time gets closer.

Your correct. They have done a lot there in 15 years. I'm spoiled, because we are an hour from the Homewood Staging area, but the Loon Staging area is really nice & large.
