[slosurfer]

wow. That's a lot of sponsors. Thanks for gettin it all together Chris.


:thumbup: Also huge thanks to Lance, he's the one doing all the web work, design stuff, etc... I'm just the guys who gives him impossible ideas to try to pull off. :laugh:

[slosurfer]

The tshirts, stickers, and clam chowder are up on the website and the shopping cart is working. :)
Thanks Lance!

Check it out under Event Swag. (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=49&vmcchk=1&Itemid=49)

[Seanz0rz]

no baby sizes? :D

order placed.

[Scuba]

SAWHEET !!!

I forgot how quick its sneaking up until I saw the countdown meter..
47 days !!!

[slosurfer]

no baby sizes? :D

order placed.


What do you mean? We have 3 smalls just for Scuba and the kids! :laugh:

[Seanz0rz]

chris i was going to call you but i got busy today. whats the firewood situation? should i load up my trailer and then have people pitch in some bucks for the wood? like a dollar per vehicle or something like that?(i cant really afford to pay for everyone to have fire!)

also my parents have shown some interest in making the trip also, so i might have a few more in tow (likely in a ford superduty)

[slosurfer]

no baby sizes? :D

order placed.


What do you mean? We have 3 smalls just for Scuba and the kids! :laugh:


Bringing this to the next page so scuba doesn't miss the funny! :laugh:

[slosurfer]

Sean, that would be awesome if you brought a trailer load of wood. :thumbup: If it's wood you pay for though, don't worry about it and maybe just bring a bundle or two. Even if the majority just brought a bundle, it would be decent. One thing I'm going to do and you may be able to as well, look in the craigslist free ads for free wood. I see it here often, someone cuts down a pine tree, tears down a deck, etc... It doesn't have to be great firewood, even big logs of wet pine will burn once we get the fire going. If it is construction lumber (this goes for everyone), just remember, no nails, no pressure treated, no stain/laquer. I have a small stash of construction lumber I've been picking up. I usually look for little to no nails. The stuff with nails, I just cut the sections with nails out with my skill saw. I've been checking craigslist and hope to get more construction lumber and some decent logs (probably pine or eucalyptus) as those seem to pop up a couple times a week here.

That would be great if your parents came. :thumbup: Tell them I promise they won't get stuck in mud or snow this trip. :laugh: :flipoff:

[Scuba]

What if I want 10 shirts ?

[Good Times]

simple, buy 10 and I'll print more :)

[Scuba]

Lol. Hmm

I think I just need 2 though :)


Im ordering on the 21st..

[xonetruthcrewx]

The shirts look damn nice, great design. And the Jamboree site is money. I may have to spend a few bucks there. And Chris, the Titan is an 09. The family and I cant wait. Werd.

[slosurfer]

Colin, thanks, Lance gets all the praise for the shirt design and web design. I just say, yes I like it or no I don't. :laugh:

I'll have him add the 09 Titan or he will when he sees this. We missed you last year, excited you're coming this year. :thumbup:

[Crinale]

money wise it looks like ill only be able to camp one night... which night would be better for just one night? i may also be able to contribute some wood, cuz from my last camping trip i met a wood chucker here in Nipomo that sold me enough wood to fill my 4runner for $10.. or chris if you can make it down here maybe we can load up your trailer with it...

[slosurfer]

Kevin, if you can only do one night, then Sat. night is the one to do. That is the night of the clam chowder feast and the raffle.

I'll have to see what wood I come up with first.

[DHC6twinotter]

Shirts look good! :thumbup:

[xonetruthcrewx]

We missed you last year, excited you're coming this year. :thumbup:


Ahhhhh, I was missed. :gay: Haha. Yeah, I was bummed that we weren't able to make it. We are definitely stoked on it this year though.

And hey, Gabe (papasmurf) will be there in his big ghey blue FJ again. I think her forgot how to use the internet or something. What an :asshat:. But he will definitely be there.

[Good Times]

Added Gabe to the list which now puts us at 72 attendees! woot woot

[stormtaco]

well i sold the 4runner but i am picking up another on mon. 89 black v6 5spd. sr5 all power :clap: see you there, and for the raffle i will have 2 1" body lifts and 4 delrine nobs, and i will have one for you chris :thumbup:

James, you rock! Can't wait to see the new runner. This one won't smell like spilled gear oil. :laugh:

Thanks for kicking in for the event, that's awesome!

[Crinale]

Hey lance, can you modify the list to show that i will have 2 vehicles, my 4Runner and my CR-V? :-P thanks...

also, i saw the RaceTaco a couple days ago... wasnt milton driving though, it was one of his desert teammates... the truck is still looking SIIIICCCKKK tho... hopefully he can make it this year

[slosurfer]

Kevin, no problem we can change it. :)

Last I heard, there is an MDR race that same weekend so if the truck is race ready, they will be at the race and not make it to the Jambo. :(

[Crinale]

aww that sucks...

[cplvc]

Chris, I plan on attending. Please put me down for 1, 96 4runner.

[slosurfer]

Sweet! I think Lance already added you. He's quick! :laugh:

[DHC6twinotter]

5 weeks till I leave....woohooo!

[Crinale]

hehe... im hopefully gonna have a few new goodies on my 4runner ready for the jamboree ;)

[Good Times]

kevin, it'll cost you $16 for the tee, $4 for the sticker! hehe looks like those will be killer mods on the truck :P

I heard the 2009 pismo sticker will give you an extra 5hp!!!

[Crinale]

haha... i already ordered the tshirt... but i dont think the sticker is for me... 5 hp or not... if i wanted hp i would just get a Honda Type-R badge... iv heard those were good for like 30hp :-P

[Seanz0rz]

i ordered a sticker, since pismo is the only event ive attended every year.

trailer mods start today, hoping to get the truck modifications done in time! 6 weeks left!

[slosurfer]

############################## Update #########################################

Here are a few important updates on the event.

1. Event Store (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=49&vmcchk=1&Itemid=49)- The tshirts, stickers (2008 and 2009), Splash Cafe clam chowder bread bowls, and chowder bowls are all available in the Event Store (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=49&vmcchk=1&Itemid=49). The clam chowder definately needs to be preordered by you, otherwise you probably won't get any unless someone is a no show. To insure you get a tshirt or sticker, those should also be preordered, although we do plan on having a few for sale at the event. You do not have to pay through paypal or use a credit card to order, there is the option to select "Bank check, money order, other" during your checkout if you prefer to pay us that way at the event. This will get your order in and then you can pay and pick up your order at the event. If you do this, be sure to go through the whole checkout procedure and get your confirmation email of your order, this insures that we got it.

2. Attendee List (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&Itemid=46)- We are at 89 vehicles at this moment!!!! If you or any of your friends are planning on going but haven't got on the Attendee List (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&Itemid=46), then please post up here or pm me so I can have Lance add you to the list. We are trying to keep an accurate list of who is coming, this is very helpful to us and our sponsors. So please let me know if you or your friends plan on coming. First name and vehicle will suffice, location is an added bonus just so people see where everyone is coming from.

3. Our Sponsors (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=18)- I can't say enough about our sponsors (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=18), they rock!

Sweet! Dude, shouldn't you be looking for a four door now, with the little one coming? :laugh: That's awesome, I've never had the chance to check out a 2 door 2nd gen, can't wait! :clap: congrats!

[stormtaco]

naa that is what the wife car is for :clap: were is a link
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/1340649325.html

[slosurfer]

Looks sweet! I'm sure you've asked about the HG. I'm always leery on those v6's when they say they just flushed the coolant and changed all the fluids on craigslist. Although it could just be normal maintenance.

That would be sweet to get the inchworm auto adapter and do duals in it. I've always liked the look of those 2 doors.

[stormtaco]

so the black one was crap so i kept looking and lone and behold i find a 90 2dr 5 spd. 150k in show room condition burgundy with gray cloth stealer ship wanted 5991$ :spit: i said 3500otd and i got it i will post a pic sun cant wait and no 50mph dune runs in this on :D

That's awesome! Is it the 3.0 5spd or 22RE ? I found on in santa barbara that was the 22re 5spd and was trying to get a friend of mine to buy it.

[slosurfer]

By the way, if you haven't checked out the Sponsors (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=18), check it out! There are a few more new ones and a couple in the works that should be added soon! :thumbup:

[stormtaco]

it is the 3.0 but my last one did so well why not, cruiser home at 70 ac cruise control nice :clap:

[slosurfer]

it is the 3.0 but my last one did so well why not, cruiser home at 70 ac cruise control nice :clap:


Nice! :thumbup:



.... i got it i will post a pic sun cant wait to do 50mph dune runs in this one :D


Fixed it for you. :hillbill:

[Crinale]

i dont think iv hit 50 out there, but 35-40 all the time in my runner ;)

i took your suggestion chris... have been running about 8psi in the tires out there... now i can stay in 2wd almost the entire time... i had been running 12, and it wasnt quite low enough

[Bud]

We are attending!
Not sure if we are camping yet but will be there bright and early saturday a.m.
Keith, Laurie, and Korey
2003 Tacoma

[Good Times]

Keith! dude where have ya been buddy!?!?!?! the last time I saw ya was at the TORC event in 2008? :) Glad you can make it man! It'll be good to catch up!

You're our official 100th registered rig!!!! YAY!!!!

[Scuba]

I'm curious to see how many of that 100 actually shows up..
Iirc last year we did have some no shows, but should be a good turnout regardless.


LESS THAN 1 MONTH !!!!

[Good Times]

Comparing it to last year's event, the pre-registered vehicles are up over 175% so I'd say if we lose a few it'll still be more than last years event :)

This just means more chances for you to win the raffle if you decide to throw in a few bucks!

[L33T35T Tacoma]

keith!!!!! where have you been man? I've gone thru 2 cars since I last saw you! see you there!!

[DHC6twinotter]

Yeah, there are a couple names on the list that I don't think will show up, but there are a ton of people going this year. And we still have 3.5 weeks to go! It's going to be awesome. :thumbup:

[Bob98SR5]

bud!!!!

dude, it'll be great to see you guys again, it's been awhile.

[DHC6twinotter]

3 weeks from now, we'll be sitting on the beach with a bowl of clam chowder.

:drool: :drool: :drool:

[Seanz0rz]

just booked my campsite, nearly forgot. luckily the g/f reminded me!

[Scuba]

Speaking of campsites..

Does site and type matter ?
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/pismoreg.jpg

[boogyman]

Speaking of campsites..

Does site and type matter ?


I think there's only 1 site type for the oceano dunes svra. From the pic, it looks like you've got the right one; at least, that's what it looked like when i booked :-p

[Scuba]

Reservations made, Thanks for that reminder Sean ;)

[xonetruthcrewx]

Question. Are fireworks allowed?

[slosurfer]

Question. Are fireworks allowed?


As far as I know, NO, they aren't allowed. Although you see them out there all the time. :laugh:

[xonetruthcrewx]

That works for me. Haha. I have some mortars, figure it would be a good place for them. I looked around on their website, but found nothing.

[Scuba]

I thought fireworks were illegal in CA. period?

Last I heard about that was 6 years ago, So things could have changed..

[xonetruthcrewx]

Nah, just certain areas. Well, the ones I have are illegal in CA. I guess just like guns, CA has an "approved" list for fireworks too. Lame indeed.

[partsman93274]

Everytime I go to pismo people set off mortars. Just hoof it to the back 40 at night, light that mother and run like hell.

[xonetruthcrewx]

But I have quite a few. Ima just put on a show. Eff it. Haha.

[slosurfer]

Everytime I go to pismo people set off mortars. Just hoof it to the back 40 at night, light that mother and run like hell.


Hey partsman, welcome to UY. :thumbup: I just got your email and I'll get you added to the list. Are you a local too?

[Scuba]

Ima just put on a show. Eff it. Haha.


Lawl :rofl:

[Crinale]

sweet... every time i camp out there there is at least one person setting off mortars... usually more

[Seanz0rz]

id really rather you didnt bring fireworks.




but what do i know, im a kill joy.

[slosurfer]

I don't want to know about them or see them in camp. I will ooh and ahh over anything I see in the sky though. ;)

Sean, are you askiered of big booms? :D

[Seanz0rz]

haha no, i just dont appreciate them going off when im trying to relax at night.

[troyboy162]

ok ive also made the reservations and ordered 2 tshirts and a bread bowl. ive got my fingers crossed that i can fanangle a chillie bowl for the lady when i get there :P

[X-Tool Pimp]

haha no, i just dont appreciate them going off when im trying to relax at night.

Thanks for that tip now I know what to bring camping :thumbup: :tongueout:

[slosurfer]

Sean has benjamin button disease and is really 70 years old, so we have to give him a break. :laugh: :flipoff:

[Scuba]

Lmao :rofl:

[Seanz0rz]

:(

[troyboy162]

just dont get the beach patrol after us with your mortors. david hasselhoff is one mean dude hahah.

http://www.topnews.in/files/David-Hasselhoff101.jpg

[DHC6twinotter]

Just put in my order for a shirt and bread bowl. I'll pay at the event if that is ok.

:thumbup:

[Good Times]

Thanks for the orders guys!

If you haven't purchased your event swag/grub and aren't sure how this all works it's just like a small shopping cart on the Pismo Jamboree website. There are two payments so pick your poison to reserve your order.

1) Cash at da event!
2) paypal

Either one works for me as long as I have a heads up on orders so we don't run out of stuff. If I do, I'll just ship you the goods later on (except for the food!)

Thanks ya'll!

[Scuba]

Whats this "Notify me" under the small T shirts ?

[Good Times]

It means we sold out on all of the pre-printed tees for that size. You snooze you lose! I might be able to do another run but I will only do this if I get additional sold out orders.

[Scuba]

Ouch :chair:

[DHC6twinotter]

Thanks ya'll!


Oh oh....Lance is turning southern! :laugh:

"Ya'll" is a small group.
"All ya'll" is a larger group.
"All of all ya'll" is a very large group.

:laugh:

[Obi..]

Soooo, Chris, what time you planning to leave there on Sunday, provided I could actually get out of here at a decent time Saturday night if I don't have to work Sun or Mon?

More to the point, how late you planning on staying up Saturday night? :flipoff:

No guarantee, just empty hope. It may be just me. :thumbup:

[slosurfer]

I'll probably be up later Friday night, I have a feeling that I'll be wiped out by late Sat. night.

I would guess I'll be gone by 1 or 2pm on sunday. I have a feeling, I'm not going to be looking forward to work on Monday. :laugh:

[Bud]

Bob, Lance, Jason,
I'll save the small talk for pismo!
Looking forward to it and its been awhile since the truck has seen some action.
-Keith




bud!!!!

dude, it'll be great to see you guys again, it's been awhile.

[Obi..]

I would guess I'll be gone by 1 or 2pm on sunday. I have a feeling, I'm not going to be looking forward to work on Monday. :laugh:


Trade? Math test and receiving freight to start laying out the store's 28,030 sq ft floorplan and shelving. All for (hopefully) a soft open by Oct. 15th. Thus why I need an escape! Staff orientations are tomorrow..joy-joy. Tough decision, work or play. :smokin:

[Crinale]

I would guess I'll be gone by 1 or 2pm on sunday. I have a feeling, I'm not going to be looking forward to work on Monday. :laugh:


when is the garcia ridge run gonna be on sunday?

[slosurfer]

when is the garcia ridge run gonna be on sunday?


That is an optional run and all depends on who wants to go and what time they decide. Last year, I was too beat to go by the time I had broken down camp. I think a few went that way or at least they went Hi mtn rd and then stopped at Pozo Saloon on their way home.

[Scuba]

Was hoping someone would want to run garcia saturday..

I might have to dip wayy early sunday morn, And I kinda wanna run garcia.
Idk though, havent seen the schedule for that week yet..Lolz

[boogyman]

I might be down for running garcia; just depends on the time though. If we do it Sunday it'd have to be early since there's a long drive back for me afterwards.

I think that's more of a tentative schedule. Sure, some events will happen at the time specified, but optional trail runs can happen whenever. Just depends on what people want to do.

[Seanz0rz]

based on the last 2 years, there is no schedule!

2 weeks from now ill be driving up!!!



oh crap i have so much to do...

[Crinale]

pretty much you have to allow at least a 3 hour block of time to run garcia... whenever that may be...

[slosurfer]

:laugh:

The schedule does have quite a bit of flexibility built into it. :) Part of the reason is because it is the dunes and people can do what they want. We don't have to worry about how many vehicles are on what trails, etc... like some other events have to deal with.

Last year a group did go out to Garcia Ridge on Sat. and some went Hi mtn to Pozo on Sunday on their way home.

The best for this type of trip, is to not do all of garcia ridge as that can take a long time since it's a "there and back" type trail. The best is to go in about a half hour to the play area/steps and play around on the rocks and then come out. The majority of good rocks and hill climbs are in that first section anyways and the brush is cleared pretty good on that part of the trail.

[4x4mike]

Bought my bread bowl.

Put me down as an attendee. Just one for now.

[Seanz0rz]

w000t! glad ur going to be there this year mike!

do we need those flags out there? certainly sounds like a good idea to have one though.

[boogyman]

do we need those flags out there? certainly sounds like a good idea to have one though.


technically, i don't think it's required for 4wd vehicles, but it's a good idea to have one anyway.

[cabbage]

They are actually going to make it mandatory soon I believe. Right now though, if the vehicle is not "street legal" you need to have a flag or you'll get a fix it ticket (live and learn... ranger pointed to the 3 link suspension saying thats not street legal...)

Looks like I'll make it out to this trip! Was there last weekend actually.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Milton, anything online about them trying to make that maditory?

Where's a good place to get a flag and mounting bracket?

[Seanz0rz]

chaparral motorsports in san bernardino has them. pretty much any ATV place should carry them.

Where's a good place to get a flag and mounting bracket?


I got my stuff there at Pismo. There are a couple of shops near and at least one guy on the sand selling them.

Like the others said, you can get them at any of the ATV rental places off Pier ave. Some sell a quick disconnect, Here are a few types (http://www.checkersindustrial.com/product-accessory.php?id=86), I have the "Easy adapter mount" in the link.

[slosurfer]

Milton, will you guys have that swap in the race truck and testing it, or will you be in the work truck? I'm guessing the work truck, since I'd imagine you would be racing if the swap was done. :D

I'm glad you can make it, we need some GOOD pics this year. :D

Taking the work truck... Race truck still doesnt have a motor in it. We're not going to any more races this season, we're actually 3rd in class points right now! oh well..

Hmmm, im thinking about bringing the GPS in the race truck to play the gps game!

[Scuba]

Are there any regulations for what the whip flag has to be..?

If there not necessary yet, I will make a custom one ;)

[4x4mike]

I don't think so. Mine is an orange triangle with a pirate flag.

[Seanz0rz]

i cant believe you jumped that thing!

welding is done on my bumper. few more hours of grinding and sanding, it will be ready for paint!!!

about the flag. im going to look for one tomorrow maybe, if i have time. otherwise ill end up making my own. i think i rather make my own, just not sure if i have the time. in one week ill be loading up the trailer, picking up dan, and heading out as soon as i can on friday.

[Scuba]

My custom one will just fly from my CB flag..
I know what I want it to be, Its gonna be kinda big, Like bath towel size big.
Just wait for it :)

Sean, Do you know what time your heading up friday ? I think me and Jason are meeting up in thousand oaks sometime around noon..

[boogyman]

Lol. just hang a spongebob squarepants beach towel from your cb antenna. :rofl:

[Seanz0rz]

im hoping to be on the road about 12, 1230. i have class that ends at 1135, so ill have to see how fast i can get back to my place in walnut and load up and hit the road.

[DHC6twinotter]

Wow....121 rigs signed up so far! That's a lot of Clam Chowder. Splash Cafe is going to love us. :drool:

[Scuba]

Wow....121 rigs signed up so far! That's a lot of Clam Chowder. Splash Cafe is going to love us. :drool:


:laugh: They will if people actually start ordering chowder. I don't think we've surpassed last years totals for chowder yet.

[DHC6twinotter]

Ya'll need to order yer food!

I was scared I would drop that big container they gave us last year. I would have been pretty bummed.

[Seanz0rz]

and as much as i love you dan, i would have hit you with a breaker bar...

[DHC6twinotter]

:lol:

[Crinale]

ill have to see if i can find the newspaper article i read on the flags... im pretty sure they have to be orange or red, and be at least 8-10 ft off the ground... ill see what i can dig up

[Crinale]

found this for all you lazy folk :-P


21 (3) All Off-Highway Vehicles registered under California Vehicle Code
22 Section 38010 or other vehicles primarily operated for Off-Highway Vehicle
23 activities shall be equipped with a whip, which is any pole, rod or antenna, that is
24 securely mounted on the vehicle and which extends at least eight (8) feet from
25 the surface of the ground when the vehicle is stopped.
26 When the vehicle is stopped, the whip shall be capable of standing upright
27 when supporting the weight of any attached flags.
28 At least one whip attached to each vehicle shall have a solid red or orange
29 colored safety flag with a minimum size of six (6) inches by twelve (12) inches
30 and be attached within ten (10) inches of the top of the whip. Flags may be of
31 pennant, triangle, square, or rectangular shape. Club or other flags may be
32 mounted below the safety flag or on a second whip.

[Scuba]

Hmm so I can't do what I originally wanted too.. Thanks for that Kevin !!

[slosurfer]

since yours is a street legal vehicle, you don't have to have a flag and therefore can do whatever the hell you want with yours scuba (until they change the rules :) ).

Some places only allow orange triangle whip flags, some will allow another flag below the orange triangle whip, and some are more about you just having a flag that has orange or red no matter what shape as long as it fits the criteria (like Crinale posted, is how pismo is).

[Scuba]

Ohhh it does say OHV, and my junk isn't ohv, just AMC (around mall cruiser). Sooo I can do what I want :) Awesome!
Thanks for the interpretation Chris !!

[slosurfer]

No problem! I have a feeling it will change soon (as it should) and all vehicles in the OHV area will need flags. I actually still need one, but I forget to buy one when I go there, doh! :shake:

[Crinale]

i still need to buy a mount and whip...

in other news, im almost done installing my cb radio... i have my antenna mounted, and my radio placed (still trying to figure out a way to completely secure it)... all i need to do is run my coax cable... does anyone here have an SWR meter for tuning cb's they can bring to pismo next weekend so i can tune this thing? thanks guys!

[Seanz0rz]

i will bring mine for ya! i still have to retune after moving mine.

[YotaFun]

Man the date is coming up! I wish I could be there hopefully next year I will be there with my own rig!

Take lots of pics so I can be really jealous lol!

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I always have my SWR meter (CB tuner) in my truck also!

[Scuba]

Maybe I can get mine tuned while there, I've never tuned it but it seems to do just fine.

About my flag sitch, couldn't find the color I wanted to make it out of so I may or may not make one. Gotta check a couple places before I call it quits on that.

BUUUT, I did get some camping supplies. FINALLY got me a stove, and a couple small things.

Detailed the rig so the poser shots will look good ;)

Im mostly ready to go, Cant EFFING wait.
These next 4 days at work will be the longest EVER !!

[troyboy162]

hows the toilet situation? its probably on the pismo page but i havnt come acrost it yet.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Troy-
Big hole in the ground, its a long way down, with something sticking out of the ground slightly resembling a toilet.

bring your own toilet paper, and if its #2, bring some sanitizing wipes, or known how to "hover"

Totally NOT kidding. Oh there are portopotties too

[Scuba]

There was that one little bathroom stall near our campsite last year...

[Crinale]

to everyone bringing swr meters, thanks!

@Troy - definitely bring hand sanitizer too... there are no sinks.

[Scuba]

http://campfish.net/camp-soap.JPG

If its huge, My bad

[troyboy162]

haha thanks for the heads up...id squat in front of you all but Kimi is going to hate this. ill let it be a surprize lol

[DHC6twinotter]

I didn't think the bathroom facilities were all that bad. There was a toilet seat at least, which is better than a lot of other places in the world. But there wasn't any plumbing...just a hole in the ground. Same setup as you would find in a lot of national parks.

:poke: :poke:

[Seanz0rz]

alot of people are squeamish about pit toilets. if you camp, you should be used to this as its in probably 75% of campsites. ive had the luxury of having a campsite with a flush toilet and a shower. its nice, but something about it just isnt camping.

by far the worst is digging a hole and squatting or crapping in a bucket. so be thankful you have 4 walls, a roof, and something to sit on!

[DHC6twinotter]

:laugh: That reminds me of some of the older ferries they have in the Philippines. Most of those had squat toilets which were hard to use when the ship is rocking in heavy seas.

[Bob98SR5]

On a more delicious note...

i've made provisions to make hot fried churros at the event. I haven't settled on pricing and what will come with it, but be prepared to have a great dessert on Saturday night! I'll post up more info later

edit: they may be baked instead of fried, but they still will be delicious nonethelrss!

[Seanz0rz]

sweet!!!

whats the fire wood situation look like chris? i have a few pieces, but that will likely be for a personal cooking campfire (girlfriend has never been camping, so i figure i should at least throw something on the fire for her!)

i was trying to get some more, but i just dont have the time to do so. as it is im barely making it!

[Crinale]

as far as firewood... i have a guy that will sell us a lot for fairly cheap... and on that note, does anyone in the central coast area have an extra trailer i can borrow to pick up wood?

[DHC6twinotter]

Awesome! Sounds good. Saturday dinner is going to be great!

[Scuba]

Kevin, don't have a trailor but I'd be willing to throw you a few bucks when we get to the beach.. Maybe a few others will do the same so your not paying for all of the firewood..
I have an old dresser that I need to break down, hopefully I'll have time to do so, my moms been bitching at me to get it out of there..

X2 id love to have a spot for me and my lady around a fire and not feel like a mouch. even if you were just selling bundles....it beats me lugging wood on my rack for the 5 hour drive. last time i bought wood at the grocey store and ill be doing the same again without a better option lol

[troyboy162]

also the gps challenge sounds fun. will i be able to use my laptop/google earth? i understand its a big advantage over the standered hand held units.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Did we ever make any further plans with the movie night?

[Bob98SR5]

if you dont want to haul/bring firewood from your home if its far away, just go to a local grocery store or a gas station in pismo and buy a little cord of wood. every little bit helps.

[Scuba]

Did we ever make any further plans with the movie night?


Screw that were gonna be on the beach.
I mean, Id be down if were watching ultimate adventure 08 or something, But anything not related to Toyota Trucks, I will protest :P

And troy, Ill probably end up buying a bundle or two as well..
WHITE MANS FIRE !!!
Sobe Bombs anyone ?

:D

[Crinale]

lol scuba... im trying to find a trailer, but if i have to ill load the 4runner up again... its just a pain in the butt to vaccuum out the little chips that get left all over...

[4x4mike]

Tarp.

I've been checking craigslist for free fire wood here but nothing has come up that is any good or close in location.

[slosurfer]

Firewood!!!!

I have some construction scraps that I am bringing, another dude from the marlin board is going to try to get some cutoffs from his friends at the lumber yard (I need to pm him to double check), some people coming from oakhurst are bringing some oak. With that, if everyone else just brings a little bit of wood, we should be fine. But, if you have access to more wood and can bring more wood, that would be great! I just don't want someone thinking they have to go buy 5 bundles of oak.

Kevin, that would be great if you could pick up some of that wood, and I'm sure we can find enough peeps to pitch in to reimburse you. Like Mike said, if you have a tarp or an old blanket/blankets to throw in there, you should be able to pull those out after and not have many chips left. Depending on room in the van and my time schedule tomorrow, I may try to see if I can find any big free eucalyptis wood on my way to the dunes.

Scuba, I would suggest not to bring a tore up dresser. A) It will have metal, staples, screws, nails, etc.. in it which is a huge no-no and I will be pissed if I see anything with nails going in the fire and B) It is probably painted or stained and that stuff isn't good to burn for a bonfire with a lot of people standing around. On the other hand, if it was somewhere else with big firepits (so no one would drive over the left over metal), and different circumstances, I would be all over chucking a whole dresser in the fire. :D

Also, the gps coordinates for the camp and the group photo are up on the website now. That gps format will also be the same format used for the gps game. For those without gps, the main camp will be just before pole 6, directly down from the restrooms. Good thing is, you can't miss us and drive way down the beach as the beach is closed at pole 6 this time of year.

[DHC6twinotter]

Well folks, I'm off to the airport in a bit. See ya'll there! :D

[boogyman]

Well folks, I'm off to the airport in a bit. See ya'll there! :D


:-/ I still have 2 days of work...

[Scuba]

Chris 10-4

And yeah, today and tomorrow left at work.. :(

[Scuba]

Soo the new-new clutch slave cylinder from NTP still hasnt come in, Was hoping it would be here yesterday, and I could change it out today. But no.
Hopefully it will get here before friday, And I can bring it with me just incase my slave decides to bite the dust at the dunes :(

Im finishing up final preparations, So tomorrow night after work I will come home, go buy my food for the trip, and tomorrow night everything will be ready to load up and be put in the truck friday morning..

[Crinale]

my 4runner is getting loaded tomorrow... and will be ready for me to come get it after work on friday... i will drive my other car to work ;)

about the wood... i know i can get the tarp under the wood to keep cleanup to a minimal... but the 4runner is also gonna have to carry all the other stuff i will have (tent, table, all other camping stuffs...) so a trailer would be ideal... im gonna ask people at work tonight if anyone has one i can borrow... i might get lucky...

Kevin,

I might head out there Friday night and just camp one night. I should have plenty of space in my shortbed Tacoma if u need help moving wood out there.

Let me know, Im in Santa Maria.

[slosurfer]

Here is a quick rundown on the gps game. There's going to be a few ways to play it, but the main way is going to be this way.

1. Teams of two vehicles
2. One gps and one digital camera (it can be played without a camera as well, but the main game will need the camera)
3. GPS points will be printed up and available for pick up at the main booth. They will be in this format:
Camp:
N35* 03.786
W120* 37.725

4. This game can be done anytime throughout the day. Once you are ready to start, come to us and we'll record your starting time. Same goes for when you're finished or just done playing.

5. Each spot will have a question to answer and some will have an "activity" that needs to be completed and a picture taken of. You can do the whole thing with just answering the questions, but major bonus points go to those who complete the activities.

6. Ideally, we would like to use the photos as part of a slideshow on sat. evening.

That's the quick rundown of it, just to give you guys a heads up.

[Scuba]

Sounds like it was reworked a bit for the better chris!!

Can't wait to play!!

Troy!! I'm on your team since my gps is a pos..

Ohh chris, Troy had a quesion about his gps setup on the last page.. I guess he wants to make sure it gravy..

[Seanz0rz]

cool setup this year.

i will, however, be sitting in my hammock or just cruising around. this is the last vacation i get, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[troyboy162]

whats the word on swiming there? any place i can show off my leet vermont boogie board skills? hahah

[troyboy162]

yea steve we gotta locate some local wood. must be there some rip off place we can get enough for some smores lol. this is gonna be fun! oh and steve bring your swiming trunks.

[Scuba]

Dude if there ain't enough fire wood so we can cook our smores we can make then on my new grille/stove dealio.

And dude, we live in the effin dessert, ain't no fire wood around..

Oh, Ill bring my trunks but I doubt I'll get in, camping + no showering abilities + after feeling of swimming in the ocean makes me shudder. Yeah ok call me a panzy but whatever..

[slosurfer]

Troy, I sure hope you bring more than trunks if you plan on boogie boarding for more than a couple minutes. Water temp will probably be a warm for Pismo 57*-60* :thumbup:

[troyboy162]

Troy, I sure hope you bring more than trunks if you plan on boogie boarding for more than a couple minutes. Water temp will probably be a warm for Pismo 57*-60* :thumbup:


that seems doable. i might skip the boogie board since that will be a hassel and lure me out into deep waters lol. steve ill have a shower thingy there and at least 5 gallons to get the salt off. that should be enough to make things barable. i might have to bring my BBQ too. i hate how it rattles while driving but it does cooka da foods well.

[Crinale]

Kevin,

I might head out there Friday night and just camp one night. I should have plenty of space in my shortbed Tacoma if u need help moving wood out there.

hey milton... sounds good, pm me ur cell # so i can get ahold of you... the guy i get wood from is on highway 1 about half mile south of the Unical refinery... he'll fill your shortbed for about $10 ^_^

just a question... do you remember/know who i am? im Sean's little brother...

[L33T35T Tacoma]

You get wood from a guy? ewwwwww

[Seanz0rz]

trailer is packed except for the ice chest. truck is packed except for food stuffs. still have to reaim headlights before i leave to go pick up dan tonight!

[slosurfer]

Just a heads up: the gps format we are using is generally referred to as GPS Format which is Degrees, Minutes, Decimal Degrees rather than Degrees, Minutes, Seconds It is pretty easy to convert either way with a calculator, for example 30 Seconds = .5 Degree Minutes. Anyways, just a heads up so you can see what your gps is set to and change it if need be.

I'm off to meet Lance at the dunes right now and start staking out the camp. :flipoff:

[Bob98SR5]

..wont be hard to find Lance. He'll be in drag tonight :p

[Seanz0rz]

[Crinale]

work will be hard to get through tomorrow....we will be down there around 11pm. anyone know if we will have to sneak onto the park? will the gate be closed?


on a weekend, the gate on Pier Ave should be open... the gate on grand might not be though.

[Scuba]

So.

I got my spare tire carrier re mounted after taking it off to paint..
I think I finally got my hard to shift into first from a stop problem fixed with some lube on the shifter seat..
ALL my gear is in the garage ready to be loaded up.

In the morning all I have to do is grab some Ice and a sandwhich while gassing up. And I will be on the road. :clap: :clap:

See Yall there !!

[Crinale]

The forum is going to be dead for the next 4 days....

[boogyman]

What time are you leaving. We'll be leaving the Roseville area after 8am with a stop somewhere along the way for food and ice.


I'm guessing we'll probably leave around 9:30, just because I'm lazy and didn't start getting everything together until this morning.
