2024 TD News July

Dean Eppley | Published on 11/5/2024

Last month the Club ran the Rubicon Trail to Miller Lake Campground for adopt-a-trail maintenance.  After cleaning up and repairing the campground sign, they continued down the challenging Cadillac Hill.  Returning up the massive boulder covered hill, a highly modified Jeep near the rear of the convoy experienced transmission problems becoming immobile on Cadillac Hill.  Several folks stayed to help as the rest headed out after leaving extra supplies.  Here’s where using a local shop really paid off.  With a satellite communicator they contacted TJ, Truckee’s Sierra Adventure Vehicles Manager, and asked for advice.  TJ and one of his finest mechanics Jack loaded up TJ’s Jeep with tools parts and supplies and headed out to the Rubicon.  They found the transmission issue and got it fixed on the trail.  The remaining group got off the trail just after midnight.  Thanks to Sierra Adventure Vehicles for the outstanding support!  Good Save!
