Start thinking about the schedule and where we want to camp. Buck Island is not a bad over night stop on the trail. I would like to spend a night at Rubicon Springs. Play in the water and go play on some rocks...

I'm leaving this up to you sir - you've been there before. I do love the idea of spending two nights at the same camp... giving us a day to just hang out, play on the rocks, swim, whatever.

I agree, buck island was a great camp and spending a day at Rubicon springs would be very relaxing.

x3 - one of the things we missed out on last year was exploring the old mining town, would love to spend a day there. The springs were the perfect temp too
