MAN! I wish I lived near you guys....schaeffer you think your 9 hour drive is bad???

Total Estimated Time: Total Distance: 1724.01 miles
28 hours, 46 minutes

NOW THAT IS A LONG WAY!!! Man, if i didn't have to work I would SERIOUSLY think about taking my girlfriend down there with me...a little Road Trip/Vacation for us. I dunno though, thats a damn long way!!!!

I promise I will come down one year for sure...just not sure when yet!

 

Yeah, I looked around my desk and saw my earmuffs so that made me think about earplugs. Otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it since I sleep in the truck anyways.

 

wait...who's going to be sleeping at 3am??? :chicken:

also, is there any sort of cerfew at pismo? are we able to drive at any time, or is it cut off at a certian time?

 

I have 2 glow in the dark psi gauges

0-15psi +/- 1/4 psi Accurate enough???

 

No cerfew if you have a camping pass as you all will.

My day pass is good till 11pm (or til they kick me out a 1am)

 

I have ~12 bottles left of BG44k that i havn't sold to tacomas. Anybody interested? $20/bottle. It's the best fuel sys/injector cleaner money can buy.

Hey Chris,

We've designated (i think somewhere in one of the emails) lunch on Saturday as a trade/sell/swap time. Bring some of it along.

Bob

 

I'll take one

 

I think someone was talking about organizing a swap meet type of setup - in case people had extra toys they wanted to part with.

We still doing that? I think I might have a few old things

 

whoa a little too late on the draw there.


I type too slow I guess

 

so about this swap meet business, i have a few things around i could part with....anybody interested in: the headlight guards that attach to the waag brush guards, or a skid plate adapter kit for the waag brush guad, or the silver tube steps for a 3rd 4runner?

 

any second geners interested in nerf bars? let me know. we can take them off my truck and put them on right there

100 bucks (firm) and they're yours

 

I just received the August issue of Cal 4 Wheel and there is an article in there entitled "Federal Judge Enforces Settlement Minimizing Oceano Dunes Closure". The most troubling statement in the article is this: "The settlement calls for an interim, temporary beach closure to milepost six
until the HCP is approved."

The full article is here. You can also visit www.oceanodunes.com for other general info.

I don't have my Pismo map at home so I can't look to see how this could affect us. Chris, do you know anything about it?

 

MAN!!! This sounds like so much fun! Be sure to post LOTS of pics when you all get back!! I wanna see what this is like, maybe show some of em to my g/f maybe she will wanna come sometime!!!

I WISH I COULD BE THERE FELLAS!!

 

update: looks like the weather is going to be REALLY nice

Fri - Aug 08 Partly Cloudy 72°/57°
Sat - Aug 09 Partly Cloudy 72°/58°
Sun - Aug 10 Partly Cloudy 73°/57°

 

Yes, some of the beach is closed off at the far end of the park. Really though, this small closure has no real effect on our pismo playground.

Thanks Chris, I just wasn't sure where that closed off area would be.

Thanks for the weather update. Our final mass e-mailing will go out in the next day or so...stay tuned!

Can't wait to meet everyone, this is gonna be great!

 

Guys,

As previously advised, I said it would be helpful to bring a sheet of plywood that you could prop against your wheels/running board to cover the "gap" in between. While still advisable, you don't necessarily have to buy plywood. You can use medium-sized, broken down boxes (2). I'll post a pic later to show you what I'm talking about.

Edit: Here's the concept I'm talking about. Basically, its to block the wind and then you can comfortably set up camp on the other side. Line up a few 4runners like this in a 1/2 moon shape and you'll have a nice, cozy space to relax:



Thanks,
Bob

 

T-minus 5 days!


Unfortunately though, we have decided that its necessary to now close registration. We're currently looking at 30+ vehicles, which is WAY more than we ever expected. Months ago when the Pismo 4RJ was just a glimmer in our eyes, we thought we'd be lucky to have 10 vehicles show up.

So for those of you that are coming, we hope you're looking forward to this as much as we are...and if you didn't get to register for this one - we'll catch you next time!

 

hey i may be leaving for pismo on thurs afternoon from san diego. i'd just like a whole day on fri. sooooooo...i will try to rope off a spot as large as i can (if i leave thurs), but i cannot find the gps coordinates for the campsite. i think they were emailed but i cannot find it. if someone out there can email them to me at scott@ushireach.com i'd appreciate it.

thanks

scott
