i was reading the rubicon trail write up by onkover and i found this..."The trail leaves the staging area and goes over a section of slab before you get to the trail head. This is where Gatekeeper was before the powers that be blew it up."
ive been on the rubicon before but never heard about this...

Gatekeeper Project info:

From: Mickey Microtus
Subject: [FOTR] Gatekeeper work project

We all know that the Gatekeeper as we remember it was blasted last fall. Nothing we can do to change that fact. Prior to the blasting the Gatekeeper area had a drainage issue. A work party was in the planning stage after the blasting to help remedy the drainage issues but was canceled following some heavy snowfall and lack of time to coordinate a delivery of rock from the Eldorado County DOT. The drainage issue at the Gatekeeper still needs to be addressed before this years wheeling season begins in earnest.

I don't know of any older pictures of the gatekeeper, but usually it's an obstacle that filters out the rigs that can't do the rest of the trail. Best to find out at the beginning than when you're a few miles in.
