The runoff wasn't that bad - I went on a supermarket run last year and ended up having to find ways around the high tide when we got back.
It was really crowded so there were A LOT of people that had parked too close and were getting wet. I ended up taking the higher ground reserved for the ATVs and bikes. The sand was a bit soft and I was concerned about getting stuck so I ended up going back and forth.
As long as you're 4WD I wouldn't worry about it too much. I made it in my Prerunner

nah... hard to get stuck as long as you keep your momentum and you're properly deflated. If I can do it with a Prerunner that's got mud tires then you should be able to go across just fine.

Man, I don't know how long I spent down there with a pressure washer when we got back! Every now and then when I go to work on something I'll find an old dried up green souvenir from Pismo. I'm not worried about ever having any rust down there but the smell from the engine after driving a few miles when it rains... peeyew!!!

looks like i will be able to make it again, unless there is some hostile takeover of my days off for that weekend. weekend of the 11th, right? go ahead and add me to the top of the list of attendees who won't be getting stuck.

(that is if bob decides to let me attend this year 
)
