So Tonight....

Marks the first time i got stuck at the pismo dunes, Sorry i didn't take a pic but it was 10:30pm and i was too busy trying to flag the few trucks down that passed by.

I was towing one of my buds on a knee board and the dunes can be very deceiving/hard to see at night (need more lights), ended up in this U shaped dune practically bottomed out. I bent the front bumper back, front driver side tire in the air, rear axle hella articulated, and rear bumper sitting on dune sand totally stuck. A couple guys on those polaris-golf-carts-on-steroids-things stopped and complimented me on how stuck i was, but were of no use so took off.

I ended up bein pulled out by a fellow Yota'er (he was in a white tundra) about 15 min later. I gave him 20 bucks as a token of my gratitude and he wished me a safe journey back to the beach, and that was that. Made it back to the beach safe and sound and had a good ol

Nothing broken, and was able to bend the bumper back so everything is A-ok, just wanted to share my story...i know i know need pics
