CRAP.

ok, i made my reservation about 6 weeks ago and i can't find the confirmation email.

i believe you can just drive up w/o one b/c they'll have your name and plate # on file. or at least thats what i want to believe.

is this how it works?

i think so.

but give looking for the email another shot. if you use outlook like me, use the search feature and use a keyworld like "oceano" to search for the email. or sort your emails by sender, maybe that'll help. either way, i'm sure you'll get in, somehow. you just do what you gotta do.

They should have sent you something in the mail as well. I would imagine they have something in there database. Worst case scenerio you can print out your credit card statement that shows when you were charge.

air available?

I know this is a dumb question, but hey... I couldn't make my onboard air setup work for this trip... Is there a convenient place to air up at/near the dunes?

there are many near local gas stations at Pismo that have air pumps while you gas up.
If not, most of us have onboard air.

There's air available at the gas stations in town...not a far drive on pavement. Should be fine, that's what most of us did last year.

guys,

it was great meeting you all. always great to put the nick/handles w/ the face.

one of the highlights and embarassments for me on this trip was competition hill. i made it up 2 of the 5 times i tried. after having my manhood license self-revoked after the 5th try, i decided to see if there was something wrong mechanically and also decided to check my air pressure.

i was running 26 psi!!!! talk about a rookie error! but scottiac did say "well, you did make it up twice"

(whadda guy)

anyways, looking forward to meeting you all for the next trip!

Bob

Hey everyone,

If you are missing a beach chair, contact me. There was a beach chair just sitting out in the open and no one around camp claimed it. i have it with me so if its yours, ID it in an email to me and we can make arrangements to get it back to you.

Thanks,
Bob

All I can say was I had a blast, my computer is giving me a few problems, so I'll have to post some pictures after getting it fixed.

I guess I should get an "Official Recovery Vehicle" sticker made up
