When word got out that the Little Sluice was going to be altered from the state it had been in for almost 20 years, people were in an uproar. And, truth be told, I can’t say I was exactly thrilled by the news either. However, while the recent transformation of the Little Sluice was big news, it was only significant because it was an iconic obstacle on the Rubicon Trail. The sad thing is, there have been work crews on the Rubicon quietly filling in rock gardens with crushed rocks, removing massive boulders, chopping down trees and closing off obstacles from end to end for quite some time now. Many of these changes have occured in just the last 5 years and surprisingly, with little to no resistance. While I understand these changes are being made with good intensions, it sure has been a tough pill to swallow. Looking through some of our old photos, I was surprised to see just how much has changed and thought that some of you might be interested in seeing them as well.
