There have been some questions about paying the extra $3.00 charge that cafepress tacked on to everything. :chair: I had told everyone to hold off till I received the shirts, as I wanted to make sure that they were good. They arrived and look really good. So, for those that want, you can send the extra $ to the same paypal account (stoveck_one@hotmail.com). I'm already humbled by those that have offered to pay me, and I completely understand those that can't as they might not have even bought one in the first place if they were 3 bucks more.

Also, I may do another order, before the event, if there is any interest. Otherwise, after the jambo, I will have it set up where you can just get them direct from the website.

Chris... paypal pmt sent

It was too dark for me to see if the motorhome had tow hooks. Justin and I will be going back down in a couple days when it's light outside to check it out more. :)

Thanks! Got it.

[slowheelin]

Those look good Chris.

Kristina's offer to do next years shirt still stands. She just finished this one for an off-road race in Lurcene Valley :thumbup:

Robb, that's awesome. We will definately take advantage of that next year.

[slosurfer]

Only two weeks away!


Stay tuned for information in the coming days:

(camp info, revised schedule, planned events, clam chowder feast, etc...)

[YotaGirl]

:clap:

[slosurfer]

I updated the schedule some in the first post. I scrapped the night run to Garcia Ridge for Friday night. From our prerun I determined that it takes too long to get out there. Also, since the majority will be arriving that evening, I figured it would be better to stay and "meet and greet" as people arrive. If some still want to do a night run, the dunes are right there and will make for some fun night running.

We also added another contest. The "Can You Believe I Actually Own This Shirt" contest. Wear your funniest, most embarrassing shirt and the group will vote who wins. The winner will receive a (as of now unreleased) Ultimate Yota t-shirt.
Note: You must actually wear it and allow pics to be taken. :king:

Jenn (JnJ) has done a great job getting some stuff together for the kids. These are going to be some lucky kids, by the way. Stay tuned for more info on kids activities.

I will be finalizing the schedule and adding more info to the first post throughout the weekend, so stay tuned.

Safety Information

As always, call 911 first in case of dire health related or safety emergency.

If you have an incident requiring hospitalization, here is a map to the best emergency center in the area, according to my doctor friend who lives in Pismo Beach. The hospital is roughly 5 miles away, but very easy to get to:

Arroyo Grande Hospital
345 S. Halcyon Rd
Arroyo Grande, CA
805-473-7650

http://www.4runners.org/image/pismo/hospital.jpg
Save this as a PDF and print from your printer: http://www.4runners.org/image/pismo/HOSPITAL-PISMO.pdf I highly suggest if you are attending this event, print out a color copy (best) and put a copy in your glove box.

See you guys out there!

Bob

EDIT:

An alternative/quicker, but more twisty route from south entrance:

Head eastbound on Pier Ave
Right on Route 1 (Front St)
Left on Belridge St
Left on 13th St
Right on the Pike
Left on S. Halcyon Rd

Note: This route is not arrow routed nor visible on the PDF map.

[slosurfer]

Thanks Bob, that looks good.

Just a note for those who haven't been there before: Generally if you were to leave the dunes for an emergency, you will be leaving from the South entrance as this is closest to the camp and offroad area. Just a note so you can study the map before you arrive.

[neliconcept]

problem guys, i have a paper and a test due friday before this event. I cannot come and im dead broke also.

sending in 20 for ship and shipping..

Bummer man! You were going to be the only one to be at two 4RJ's on opposite sides of the country in the same year. Maybe next year. :(

[neliconcept]

I wish I could, just so tight on money, and I dont think I can get these things turned in early including the test.

[neliconcept]

oh and be sure to take molte pictographios :)

[surf4runner]

im not making it. ( :screwy: ex :horse: )

:( Bummer Brian! Jack was really looking forward to hangin' with Zac. Ever since DV, when we go camping, he asks if Zac is going to be there. Bummer man, I hope we'll see ya soon though.

[Seanz0rz]

you know what, ive just decided to come. someone fill me in so i dont have to read 18 pages of nonesense!

[slosurfer]

you know what, ive just decided to come. someone fill me in so i dont have to read 18 pages of nonesense!


Sweet! :thumbup: You will totally enjoy yourself. All the pertinent info will be in the first post (raffle list is in the second post I believe), that way you don't have to read all the nonsense. I would suggest getting your camping reservation online, so it will be easier when you arrive, especially if you are arriving late Friday night and the kiosk is closed (reservation link is in the first post also).

I will be posting the directions to the camp area later tonight.

[Seanz0rz]

ill make all those reservations come later tonight.

whats the status on tshirts? too late?

damn! was looking fwd to finally meeting you too. maybe next year!

[neliconcept]

maybe if yall have a run during winter break or during my spring break ill try and hit up something!!!

was looking foward to meeting you Bob, Chris, Lance, Bruce and the gang down in socal!!

[slosurfer]

ill make all those reservations come later tonight.

whats the status on tshirts? too late?


Tshirts are here, so it is too late. Let me see what I can do though and I'll get back to you.

[cooldry]

Quick question. Would you guys say this trip is appropriate for dogs or would it be better to keep them at home?

[slosurfer]

Quick question. Would you guys say this trip is appropriate for dogs or would it be better to keep them at home?


It depends. How do they do bouncing around in the cruiser? Do they enjoy it? Also, how are they with loud noises, like motorcycle and atv's driving around the camp? Some dogs do just fine.

You've seen our dog, Bruce, we will not be bringing him. He doesn't like the real bumpy rides (he does fine on slow bumpy trails, but not so good on fast bumpy dunes :D), that and he gets freaked out by motorcycles and atv's. He's such a nervous nelly!

[cooldry]

Thanks for the info Chris. Don't really know how she handles bouncing around in the cruiser and not sure about all the noise. She's never been on a trip like this before. But if you're not bringing yours, I guess it's better to leave her at home.

[Seanz0rz]

all booked up for a reservation.

re. tshirts, its no big deal, just wondering. do go too much out of your way.

i will be getting there about 3 or 4 in the afternoon on friday,

[surf4runner]

not happy about it at all!
im still trying to steal some time from the issue.

maybe we'll show up late sat nite???

[TrackRunner]

I'm in! all booked and ready to go. I will probably get there around 3 or 4 in the afternoon as well.

[slosurfer]

Nice! :thumbup: Make sure you bring some of that beer. :hillbill:

[TrackRunner]

Wouldn't have it any other way :banana:

All my planning is going for nought.

I have a must do job to do on Friday (12th),another overnighter in Mammoth the following weekend.
The bank ledger is steadily falling.
And it would be another weekend in quite a few not at home and i think i would definitely get into some trouble if i went.

I'll get my banking in order and get you some dollars to ship the T-shirts. Everyone stay safe out there.

I think i am definitely going to shoot for a "Birthday Hollister" trip in Dec now.

[slosurfer]

Bummer Reggie! I definately know that feeling. :( Birthday trip to Hollister would be awesome. :thumbup: You'll have to start planning that now so we can get a big turnout. Maybe I'll even get you a cupcake. :gay:

I'll send you a PM about the shirts.

[elripster]

I think I'll roll in around 6 or so. If I hit the road at noon and get through LA by 2 that will be cool but I'll hit traffic in Santa Barbara no matter what. Still, I could pull it by 6 if I'm lucky.

The way things go though, I'll leave by 1 and show up at 7.

I brought my two a couple years ago. They loved everything NOT in the truck, but doing things like racing up a dune will launch them from the back of your vehicle to the front, and they DON'T like that at all. It's pretty hard on them. I'm not bringing them to the dunes again. *sniff*

[slosurfer]

Camping and communication info has been added to the first post.

[slosurfer]

The question has been brought up about firewood. I would suggest bringing some, you probably won't need to bring a bunch, as it won't take too many people bringing wood to keep a good fire going.

The local grocery stores do sell firewood (usually good oak) and there is a company that cruises the beach that sell firewood and drinking water (don't know what their prices are).

Please make sure that the wood you are bringing does not contain any nails! Also, please no painted or stained wood that will give off toxic smoke. :angel:

[Seanz0rz]

haha, i was just going to ask about fires!!!

ill be bringing what i can! thanks again!

[boogyman]

wow. ok, admittedly i haven't looked at this post in awhile.. but i'm finally caught up on all the posts :clap: chris.. saw the notice about the $3 extra for shirts. sending paypal for $6 now :D thanks for getting those shirts together, the pics look awesome! Sending you a PM as well..

we'll be there friday probably early in the afternoon. lookin forward to seeing everyone

-russell

[slosurfer]

OOOPPS!!! :tapedshut: It was pointed out to me that I had channel 16 privacy code 0 as our communication for those with FMRS radios (little motorolas) but they only go up to 14. So we will go with 14 privacy code 0 for those with FMRS.

We will stick with Ch 16 for those with a CB.

Also, for those that don't know. If you are looking for info, I am constantly updating the first post, so you don't have to dig through 20 pages. :D


Russell, Thanks! I got it.

[expatoz]

Wooohooo...less than a week to go....yaaaaa


Is there anyone who would be willing to help show me how to use my HAM radio on repeaters on Sat. at sometime?

Thanks
Mark

[xonetruthcrewx]

Looks like there is a good chance of rain surrounding the weekend. Friday and Monday. This could be interesting. Im down with it though. Haha. We'll see.

[BruceTS]

looks like few showers friday, clear saturday, cloudy sunday...... should be intresting......

[Seanz0rz]

hell i dont care, it gets me out of the house! looks like i need to buy new windshield wipers though! the driver side blade fell off of mine the other day. they are toast!

if all goes well and to plan, i may even have a sleeping platform for the weekend, and for sure a center console and computer.

[mysticzt4r]

Chris, can I paypal you the extra $6 that you have to pay for the increase in price for the 2 t-shirts I ordered? Let me know, you shouldnt have to pay for it out of your own pocket.


I sent mine just now should be in your acct., sorry did not read that increase part.

Thanks again.

[slowheelin]

Hey everyone. Due to a change of plans I'll meet you guys at Hi Mountain Road on Sunday for the trail run. Have fun on the beach, we'll see you in the mountains :D

[slosurfer]

:tapedshut: I re-edited the camp area info. I had the wrong pole # up there before. The gps coordinates were correct. The camp will be right at pole 6. This is where the last of the restrooms are, therefore we won't go all the way to the end. They have now opened up the beach to past pole 8.

Once again the camp is at pole 6!

Well there seems to be a mix up with my reservation, we ended up only reserving one campsite for 1 vehicle and now we cannot get another for our other vehicle.

So if you have that still available, I will buy it.

Thanks.

[mysticzt4r]

Anyone know if I can just buy one camping permit and one vehicle permit for the 2nd vehicle?

[boogyman]

Anyone know if I can just buy one camping permit and one vehicle permit for the 2nd vehicle?




I think it's just 'overnight' and 'day use'... I thought any vehicle staying on the beach after 11pm was considered overnight, so you'll probably need 2 overnight passes. locals can chime in and correct if i'm wrong :D

[xonetruthcrewx]

Looks like its going to be raining tomorrow. Supposed to be a 70-80% chance of rain from about 4pm until 3am of Saturday morning. I guess that made up my decision of whether to use the basket or the cargo box. Cargo box it is. Cant wait for tomorrow. I should be there right around 4pm. See you bastards then!

The guy from the reservations center said I may not be able to get a camping permit at the parks gate for friday either. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I hope we still can. So even when you called, they wouldn't give you one? I just thought that with the online one, that you couldn't do it if it was too close to the date. I haven't got mine yet either. I know that they won't be too full on Friday, so you should be able to get one at the gate.

[slosurfer]

I've posted this question on a local forum for the dunes so hopefully we will find out soon.

[xonetruthcrewx]

I was also planning on paying for the 2 nights when i get there tomorrow. I dont see why they would say no. Just dosent make sense.

[slosurfer]

So far, it looks like they still do as long as they are not sold out, which they won't be. That's why we picked this weekend.

[kmcc78240]

finally can't wait to some pics, have fun guys,n and any gals that maybe going. 20 pages and the trip has not even started yet

[mysticzt4r]

Well just in case I am taking the day off from work and heading out early should be leaving mid morning and getting to Pismo around 2 or so.

The others in my party will be leaving around 6pm and getting there around 9 or so.

[Seanz0rz]

im leaving at about 8, should be up there around 1 or 2, but ill be stopping by SLO to visit a buddy of mine.

i find it hard to beleive that they sold out spots on the beach. there are reservations for actual campsites that are on the other side of the berm...i think less than 30 (?). perhaps that is what you might of reserved by mistake.

shizzle, i still need to buy mine! i'll confirm what i just wrote in a sec :)

bob

[BruceTS]

I'm all packed up and ready to go...... plan to hit the road right after work around 3:30pm and if my friend can't make it, I'll head straight there, should take me around 3 hours if the traffic isn't bad. If my friend can go, I'll be there much later........

Bob, you can't reserve online because it is too close to the date that you are reserving for. That is why some could get saturday but not friday. From what I'm hearing, you can pay for your camp pass at the gate as long as they are not sold out, which they won't be.

[Bob98SR5]

ah, ok. in anycase, its a non holiday weekend in october, so i can't even imagine the place selling out.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

ya i'm packed up too. i dont understand how i can bring so much stuff! i guess it's all my air tanks and shower system and everything that's taking up so much room.

here's my tally:
3 air tanks
1 air tank as a water tank.
2 compressors
2 optima blue tops in the back, 1 yellow top under the hood
sleeping bag
floor jack
tent
shower tent
roadside box with orange triangles and oil.
coolant
smaller tool box
my goodie bag
cooler
shovel

ahh so much stuff!

[slosurfer]

Ummm... you forgot air tanks. :tongueout: J/K You must still have that killer air setup that you had last year.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

its a lot better. now actually i fixed my leaks (i actually found it today by mistake), and i have my shower system to go along with it.

[slosurfer]

Nice, I got your email, thanks. Do you want your crisp 20 at the beach?

[L33T35T Tacoma]

sounds good. she said she wants her sweatshirt too, lol.

[elripster]

Just curious, do you guys think it will be any issue crossing the creek if it's been raining a while?

Frank

[slosurfer]

Frank


Frank, there isn't even a creek right now, so it won't be an issue. They are saying that at the most we are looking a .3 inches, so no problem.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

the weather looks pretty bad for tonight, so i probably wont go, sorry guys.

[slosurfer]

the weather looks pretty bad for tonight, so i probably wont go, sorry guys.



:shake: No! The local weather is telling us that we are at the tail end of this thing and not to expect much. They are even saying that it might not even make it down to Santa Barbara.


If you're not going, I'll take your other reservation, but I would rather you came. It might make it better to get away from down there for a couple days.

[Bob98SR5]

WHAAAAAT!?!? Jason, c'mon! Surely you must've gone through worse in Marine boot camp?!? Dude, i have not seen you in about 2 years. Just make the trip, alrighty?

[boogyman]

we got into slo last night .. we'll be out to pismo after lunch (maybe around 2 or so).

russell

[04 Rocko Taco]

You guys take LOTS of pics, and someone give me a free t-shirt. lol

[L33T35T Tacoma]

have a great time everybody! there are many more reasons besides just the rain that i'm not going. chris check your email

[slosurfer]

I just got back from taking a load out there. We are located just before pole 6. We have a staked out area to park around with bright orange tape and there is a blue pop up shade thingy there right now. Jenn and Justin are there with their motorhome.

Just a few sprinkles so far, nothing major.
I'll be back out in a few hours.

[Bob98SR5]

well at least some good news for me on the speeding ticket: ive been reading quite a bit on how to beat these lame tickets and so im filing for a continuance as well as a written statement defending my egregious crime :roll: anyways, i talked with a park ranger to get some info on when i actually entered the park and he could tell i was fighting a ticket. he said not to worry so much b/c these tickets, while recorded on your dmv record (assuming I lose), they do not count as points. i'm going to have to verify w/ my insurance agent if that is true, but i'm pretty confident that he is not yanky my wanky. thats good news b/c i really don't need any more points as i kamikazied my truck into that H3 a few months back.

for those of you who also got a ticket, the infraction number was SLCC and some numbers (dont have the ticket in front of me). if it starts with SLCC, then the above applies to you too.

bob

[paddlenbike]

You don't know how bad I wanted to jump out of the truck and take your photo as I passed by. :tongueout:

Good news though Bob!

[Bob98SR5]

officer would've then added 'assault and battery' on the ticket :flipoff:

that park ranger was a real curt SOB. dont get pulled over by a ugly lady cop in pismo. won't even give you a chance to say anything.

[paddlenbike]

you had me LOL...
