8th Annual 2010 Pismo Jamboree Sept. 24-26, 2010

[slosurfer]

The 8th annual 2010 Pismo Jamboree dates has been set!!! Come check us out on September 24-26, 2010 at Pismo Beach, CA

Get there!

http://pismojamboree.com

I'll update and add more to this post later, but I'm starting to get going on this and figured it was time to start a discussion about it.

Who's coming and what are you looking forward to or would like to see at this year's event?

:clap:

[Seanz0rz]

i will be there with alexus and another friend. probably dragging dan up there as well! i think my parents might follow us up in their car and just spend the day on the beach.

im looking forward to napping in my hammock.

also looking forward to doing the gps challenge. a photo contest would be really cool, with categories for point and shoot and dslr cameras from each of the gps points. something that could be submitted after the event and voted on by us.

[slosurfer]

Sean, great idea!

One of the problems we've had is trying to round up the good pictures after the event. A photo contest that is done after the event would be awesome!

[YotaFun]

With School and the Condition of the Truck, Looks like the only way I would make it out there is if I score a job and move out there by the end of the summer, which isn't looking to likely at the moment :-(

[slosurfer]

Bummer dude! :(


Hopefully I can get the brakes/rotors done on the 4runner and van before this. :laugh: Reminds me, I have to order that 54mm socket

[troyboy162]

hope im home for this! it was a great time last year and perfect to get us out of the rocks for a bit.

i think we set the standard last year on the gps challenge lol. anyone got one of those fancy new garmins? i think those could give google earth a run for its money.

[Scuba]

I might be getting a GPS for my birthday this year, bout time I be able to find a trail head by myself.

I'll be there for sure, 3rd year in a row :)
Can't wait for the GPS challenge again, it and the clam chowder is what I look forward to. :)

[elripster]

So far my schedule is clear that weekend so there is a chance we could fly out to make this. We won't know until much closer to the date though. I hope it works out, I really miss haning out with you all at Pismo.

Frank

[slosurfer]

:thumbup:


Frank, that would be awesome if you could make it!

[elripster]

We will definitely try. I was going to drive the 4runner back to Chicago in July and SAS it so if I do we will likely need to see if someone has two extra seats but those bridges can be crossed at a much later date.

Frank

[DHC6twinotter]

I'm definately going to try and make it again this year. I've got the ok from the boss, and so far, airfare isn't looking too bad. Only thing that may keep me from going is if I land a different job. Unless the job is out there. :D

I'm about 90% sure I'll be there. Can't wait. :thumbup:

[DHC6twinotter]

Oh, and the photo contest sounds like a great idea!

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I'll be there without a doubt!

[Scuba]

I'll be there without a doubt!


Lets effing CARAVAN this time.

[kregg]

Any empty seats for an East Coaster???? :) I'm 75% sure I'll be flying out... This'll be my first California experience!!! Woot!!!

[slosurfer]

There are usually plenty of empty seats to hitch a ride. :thumbup:

[net4n6]

I will be there. I need to submit my vacation request.

[oly884]

With my Montana trip, I don't think I'll be able to make it down there this year, not to mention September is the crazy time at work for me....

One of these years though!

[Crinale]

I will definitely be there! and Bekah (my gf will prob be there most of the weekend as well, as long as schoolwork permits)...

i will have my entire backseat available to riders if need be... but the gf gets dibs on the front seat :-P

[stormtaco]

i would like to try and get there this year, last year kid was in hopital. i will see if i can make some stuff to, and as of now i will be coming in my ranger, i know :(

[Crinale]

we may tease u a little, but other than that we dont mind :thumbup:

[partsman93274]

yay. im on disability and have nothing else to do. can i come too.

[slosurfer]

i would like to try and get there this year, last year kid was in hopital. i will see if i can make some stuff to, and as of now i will be coming in my ranger, i know :(

[stormtaco]

[Crinale]

[Crinale]

i will definitely be there, and unless she has major hw or a job, my gf will be there

Kevin Newbury, Rebekah Kliewer - 91 t4r with new goodies - Orcutt, CA

[DHC6twinotter]

Bump for clam chowder! :drool:

I noticed attendees are now being listed on the website. :thumbup:

[Good Times]

Yeah I'm slowly starting to update the attendee list. I'm also going to posting up info on the new tee and sticker(s) within the next 2 weeks. :D

[DHC6twinotter]

Sweeet! I love the shirts from the last 2 events. They fit well and seem to be really good quality. I'm wearing last year's shirt right now. :D

[Crinale]

oh, just a reminder to EVERYONE PLANNING TO DRIVE ON THE DUNES:

all vehicles driving east of the main camping area NEED FLAGS. its a new law they passed this year. Just remindin all of you so you have time to build or buy flag mounts.


The California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division has received approval from the Office of Administrative Law for revisions to the safety regulations for Oceano Dunes SVRA. The new regulations took effect on January 1, 2010.

The regulation now requires a whip and flag for all vehicles in the dunes. This requirement is consistent with the regulations for Dumont Dunes and Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Areas, which are popular areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25980

[Seanz0rz]

thanks for the heads up! was going to put a flag up anyway but its nice to know that i HAVE to now!

[Crinale]

ya i made my flag mount last november, but was slightly surprised to see there was a sign at the entrance saying it was mandatory... i was real glad i had made one already :-D

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Glad I found a flag in the dunes last year. It fits nicely in my tailgate :D

[malteserunner]

We should be there again, Chris. Definitely going to get there earlier this year. We had a blast last time out.

Adam and Liz.

[troyboy162]

anyone know a good online place to get a whip and mount

[Crinale]

just fab a mount... just need a (i think 1/2" ill go check in a bit) hole in a plate... make something on ur rack or something... and u can buy a flag anywhere near the dunes when ur up here for cheap...

[4x4mike]

I bought my flag at Pismo and stuck it in my old CB mount. Now that the flags are required everyone will be out there selling them.

[partsman93274]

Ok. I guess this is a little off topic but has anyone else noticed that the beach has gotten narrower over the past two years after Pole 2? I remember camping in 2007 and having to walk almost a 1/4 mile to the fenceline where the porta potty was. :headscratch:

[Crinale]

the restricted areas that are fenced off change all the time... but i dont think it was ever that wide, unless it was a crazy low-tide...

[partsman93274]

I know it was right before a storm surge that ran the water up till you had to travel the fenceline. Maybe it was a low tide from the storm. I tend to arrive right after a storm hits to watch the river swallow idiots in small cars that dont belong on the beach.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I don't remember seeing it that low and I visited quote frequently last year. On the contrary, at surf n turf last year the tide was so high there were points where you had to drive thru large quantities of water, and that's excluding the river that flows sometimes

[Scuba]

Looking pretty good for my attendance again. School is "slow" this semester again.. so I should be there :)

[WillRunner05]

I've got my vacation approved so I'll be there. Can't wait to hang out and wheel in Cali again. I'm also willing to help out with the event if you guys need any. :ban:

[slosurfer]

Awesome!!!!! Can't wait to see you again. I'm working on some stuff for the jambo this weekend, so I'll be contacting you to help with some email blasts and talking to potential sponsors/vendors. I was so slow with work this year, but then got busy and working out in the boonies so I'm getting a late, late start. :(

[Good Times]

Just updated the site to reflect the stickers and tees now available for sale! All items will be available for pick up at the event. If you want the items shipped, we'll need to arrange shipping which will cost a bit more (duh). :)

[Scuba]

Nice work lance. OOOHHH RED!! I'll really stand out then.


Hmm... soo fly out to SETO at the beginning of september and skip pismo.. or not fly out and go to pismo.. decisions decisions.

[Good Times]

how about do both? :P

[Scuba]

how about do both? :P


Last year, I'd have said FOR SURE!
But this year, I've gotta buckle down and focus more on school. Plus I'm ridiculously broke.

[Good Times]

broke? sell a kidney ;) haha jk (seriously jk).

I still say do both! you only live once :D although school is definitely important! :)

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Stephen, you ARE going to pismo, I don't care if you go in my truck, you ARE going to pismo. What's SETO anyway?

[Scuba]

South east take over.

[troyboy162]

ill save you the effort.
trails...not as good as ours
people...more republican...funny accents

there now you can go to pismo

[elripster]

Once again I have to travel for work so Pismo again. Plus, the 4runner blew a head gasket in the middle of no where on its way back to Chicago from San Diego a few weeks ago and severely drained my funds getting it fixed and back on the road... but that's another much more frustrating story for another day.

Have fun and take lots of pictures!

Frank

[Crinale]

Oh there will be pictures *DUN DUN DUNNNNNN* nah seriously, there will be tons of pics... my gf is a photographer/editor for her school's newspaper, and we usually have a few professional photogs out there, as well as the rest of us with our digicams... There will definitely be no shortage :-D

[partsman93274]

Just a question I have. How come this event wasnt planned for the first weekend of October when the birdie humping season is over and they open the beach up more? Also, since my memory is about as short as my........ um nevermind. Will the creek be flowing by the time this event takes place?

[Crinale]

creek doesnt start flowing til it starts raining... if it rains september 21st then yes the creek will flow, otherwise, not likely.

And the dates are planned very carefully by the organizers to have as few conflicts as possible, and there is still plenty of dunes available for running before the plovers release their section to the public..

[partsman93274]

True since it's not a peak visiting weekend since school has reopened and no other major events are happening. Thx.

[WillRunner05]

Aw thanks for the vote of confidence. I sure hope I can come!! That's only about 3 weeks in to school tho, what with working on the paper and probably having a job... well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

[calrockx]

i should check this out.
i haven't wheeled in, literally, years. well, two.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Uhhhhh DUH. you used to be the king of offroading. I hardly remember who you are now!

[DHC6twinotter]

Woot...just got my plane ticket! Can't wait! It'll be really great to see everybody again. I miss you all. :D

[Good Times]

Daniel I'm working on the logistics on the RV so you'll have a place to stay. When are you flying in and who's taking you up? Let me know cuz I'll need your help at the event :)

thanks!

[Scuba]

Lance if you need any other help, let me know!

[Good Times]

Sounds good! Just spread the good word so I have a better headcount on how many people are showing up! :)

[Scuba]

Well Chris is slacking on advertising this run on any other boards... We got a month and a half.

Lance, I'm actually arriving at LAX around 6pm on Sunday the 19th. My boss gave me the whole week off. :D The plan is to get a rental car and drive down to Winchester to visit my Uncle and his family for a couple days, then bring the rental car back. After that, I think I'll be staying with Sean and riding up with him and Alexus (If that is still OK with Sean). I'm going to try to visit a few other people while I'm in the area, but I haven't even contacted everybody yet.

I'll be glad to help in whatever way I can. Looking forward to it!

As far as the RV goes, I'll have to see how much it is this year. Sean offered to pack an extra tent, or I may pack a tent with me. Lance, I guess if you could PM me the cost of the RV, then I'll go from there and see whether or not I want to tent it this year. RV sure was nice though.

Thanks!

WEll, get to spreading the word! Start threads on whatever boards you frequent the most and are well respected on. With two kids and being gone 14hours each day and visiting inlaws every freaking weekend, I haven't had any time to do anything. Any help on other forums is greatly appreciated! point them to the website http://pismojamboree.com and point them to the picture thread from last year's event. PM Lance or I when someone on another forum committs to coming so it can be added to the attendee list on the website.

This goes for any other members who are willing to help (especially if you are a well respected member of another forum) as I don't have time to spend a couple hours a day spreading the word on other forums. PM me if you can help Thanks!

Hopefully we have as big of a turn out as we did last year.

[slosurfer]

:thumbup: Thanks dude!!! :thumbup:

[DHC6twinotter]

Hey Chris, do we really have to send you a message to get our name on the list? I don't remember doing that last year. It's not a big deal, but I wasn't sure if you wanted your mailbox full of people registering. :headscratch:

No, just post up here. It's a way for non forum members to let me know they are coming. Just let me know when you see other people posthing on other forums that they are coming just in case they don't let me know.

[slosurfer]

Also, I just got off the phone with Lance and there are going to be couple changes compared to other years. I'll post them up later when I have them confirmed.

[DHC6twinotter]

Are there fires up that way? I was on the pismo jambo website, and the weather thingy said there was smoke in the area. :headscratch:

[slosurfer]

Yeah, there's a fire over near Pozo.

[slosurfer]

Pozo Fire (http://www.inciweb.org/incident/2078/)

[Seanz0rz]

i now own two whip flags. now i can say im truly ready for pismo! well, as soon as i figure out how to mount them!

[Scuba]

I need to get new inner TRE's and a rack guide before pismo. I don't think I'll have my 35's by then... but it could be possible.

[some_odd_girl]

I was wondering! I saw smoke from Paso yesterday, and I smell smoke in the air right now... as a matter of fact, I smelled it yesterday too, I just thought ppl have been bbqing...

With your 3rz the nearly bald 33's will probably actually be better at the dunes than whatever 35's ur gonna get... you'll have slightly more power, and nearly bald or tight tread tires are the best on soft sand.

[DHC6twinotter]

Woohoo....now over 50 people registered!

[troyboy162]

[partsman93274]

Hey Lance, those links are backwards. :hillbill:

Looks good! I have a stupid question about the toppings. It has a list of toppings (lettuce, mayo, etc), but how do we specify what toppings/condiments we want? Is/Will there be a way to do that? :drool:

Bummer no clam chowder though.

[edit - good times - fixed stupid links that were backwards!]

[Good Times]

Yeah the chowder this year won't be an official item. If we get enough requests we may bring it back next year but for this year we'll stick with the sandwiches.

Eventually I'd like to be able to get one of those taco trucks to hook us up on the beach!!! I swear we've got some great taco trucks here and does some mean catering for parties!! :P

[DHC6twinotter]

Now that would be awesome! We have a serious lack of good Tacos where I'm at.

These sandwiches look really good!

[some_odd_girl]

Aw I've heard about bringing in clam chowder for this event and I was looking forward to it! :( Oh well, the sandwiches look good...

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Bekah, we may have to make and Friday dinner or Saturday lunch run for splash.

Lance, how the hell are they gonna cater from San Fran?!

[some_odd_girl]

If I'm there, I'm down, I'm sure Kevin is too. :) Even if I'm not there he loves their clam chowder lol

[Crinale]

Lance, how the hell are they gonna cater from San Fran?!


It's Masa's store, and he is probably gonna be there. He was last year, gave out a few gift certs, and stayed in the trailer with them.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Ahhh.... awesome, a fellow member. Make's sense

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Even if I'm not there....


Your lack of attendance is inexcusable. You are required to be there. Ha Ha.

Stephen will probably wanna roll with us too. I know he's excited for splash. I think he even ordered some from them online and had it shipped

[slosurfer]

For those that haven't had one of Masa's sandwiches, you are in for a treat!! I had one a year ago (the simon special on dutch crunch) and I've been craving it everyday since then! The dutch crunch bread is amazing! :thumbup:

Also, I was getting really burned out on having to leave the beach (it would take about 2hours to do) and then having to play catchup and get the raffle going and night run, etc.... This way, I can still help with dinner but not have to leave the beach.

I'm sure that I and others though will be making splash cafe runs though for other meals that weekend. :thumbup:

[Crinale]

im likin the idea of either as we are coming friday night, or leaving sunday lunch... :-D

@Jason - Bekah'll be back down at school, working on the school paper, and hopefully *crosses fingers* have a job as well... so i really hope she can come, but it will depend on multiple factors, not the least of which is being able to afford the drive

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Ya I understand. Hell if it boils down to the money factor, I could pick her up on my way up there and take her back, as long as I don't have a passenger (as of now doesn't look like I will)

[Crinale]

Looks good! I have a stupid question about the toppings. It has a list of toppings (lettuce, mayo, etc), but how do we specify what toppings/condiments we want? Is/Will there be a way to do that? :drool:


i too want to know this question, cuz there are some toppings on that list that i very much do not want.. some of it sounds real good though

[some_odd_girl]

Ya I understand. Hell if it boils down to the money factor, I could pick her up on my way up there and take her back, as long as I don't have a passenger (as of now doesn't look like I will)


Aw that would be awesome! If I do have a job, I'll probably be able to afford the gas, but might not be able to afford the time off. If I don't have a job, there's no way I'll be able to afford the gas. Ah, the joys of being in college. >.<

[slosurfer]

Be sure to check out the Sponsors Page (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php/sponsors) as we are starting to get some cool prizes from awesome businesses!

[mysticzt4r]

Ahhh.... awesome, a fellow member. Make's sense


Yup I will be there with all the equipment and everything needed to make everyones sandwiches.

awesome list chris!!!

[93yotasr5]

Wow all kinds of good companies !! I'm excited

[93yotasr5]

I'm actually in Fair Oaks.

Nice I'm right off of greenback and 80

[Crinale]

Again, just wondering about when we order our sandwiches, how do we specify what we do or do not want on them? or will it be easy to tell Masa when we are there what we want on it?

[slosurfer]

hmmm.... not sure. I'll have to check with Lance and Masa

[troyboy162]

http://www.amazon.com/Tusk-UTV-Horizontal-Flag-Mount/dp/B003AYUXGE
just bought one of those and a flag/whip for 27 shipped. seems like a good deal. i know you guys say just buy one when you get there but last year i arrived at like midnight so the stores would be closed if i do that again

[Crinale]

im not really sure how that one works, but good luck :-P lookin at other Tusk ones, im eying their quick release mount... been wanting some kind of quick release for a while, as its annoying to have to get my 2 wrenches out each time i want to mount or unmount my flag... might get one for the jambo..

[Scuba]

im not really sure how that one works, but good luck \


Big hole go over tube....
Whip pole go in small hole. (on left) :flipoff:

[Scuba]

Ps, Troy, thanks for that link. Perfect! I'm gonna order one of those up and mount it on the rear bumper side wings.

[troyboy162]

i couldn't figure out what tube size i have. when i measured yesterday it came out to be 1.91 diameter so thats either bad measuring on a 2" tube or 1 7/8 hahah. the price is good though.

they had a sideways mounting one too. like one that would work on a vertical tube

[Seanz0rz]

nice! i still have no idea where to put my flag(s). i guess i could make a mount but that seems like a lot of work. i think a bunch of zip ties will do just fine.

[troyboy162]

that was my other option if i didnt find something cheap haha you know me...

[Crinale]

this is what i did:

[L33T35T Tacoma]

For the tacoma world, with stock tailgate, all you gotta do is buy a flag and stick it between the tailgate and the truck bed. works well even at high speeds

[mysticzt4r]

Again, just wondering about when we order our sandwiches, how do we specify what we do or do not want on them? or will it be easy to tell Masa when we are there what we want on it?


You can PM me or tell me in person when I start making the sandwiches, I will have one of my deli guys driving in Saturday to bring the fresh bread and to help me make the sandwiches.

Update:

Since I will have Javier one of my deli guys with me on Saturday we should be able to take your orders and get hot fresh sandwiches out very quick so you guys can just tell us what you want when you come to make your order.

I highly recommend all dutch sandwiches be ordered hot to experience the best quality of the bread.

All sandwiches will be made to your order. :thumbup:

[strykersd]

As much as I'd love to come up for this, I just won't have the money to drive the 4runner all the way up to Pismo. Have fun up there guys!

Awesome to see BajaRack and Icon added to the event sponsors list. :drool:

[DHC6twinotter]

Just ordered my sandwich and t-shirt. :thumbup:

[Scuba]

Bout to order my stuff tomorrow which is payday for me :)

[Good Times]

Stephen, you know you can just pre-order and pay me onsite right? :)

[Scuba]

I know lance. I'd just rather get all my debts squared away before hand so I know how much money I have for the trip and gas and whatnot..

[Scuba]

Just ordered my stuff. :)

[troyboy162]

ordered my swag and sandwich. that whip mount came in and its very nice quality. the whip and flag i bought are kinda cheapy looking but im sure it will last three days

[Crinale]

whips and flags are all cheapie... they are pretty much disposable

[Scuba]

ordered my swag and sandwich. that whip mount came in and its very nice quality. the whip and flag i bought are kinda cheapy looking but im sure it will last three days


Was wondering how the flag pole is secured inside of it?

[MaK92-4Rnr]

heres my flag mount... its the same as my CB radio mount... Do you guys think i can find an antenna that mounts much like a CB antenna? IE. threaded on the end?

[slosurfer]

The ones that they sell on the beach/near the beach all have a bolt on the end with a nut and lock washers.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

how much are they at pismo? I was hoping to have one by the time I leave town here... lol think a local motorcycle shop would have some?

[Seanz0rz]

yeah i picked mine up at a local ATV/motorcycle shop. about 10 bucks each and they feel like pretty good quality flags. i figure if they break, it will be at the mount, so they just get a little shorter each time. i went ahead and bought two.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

whats the mounting look like? could i get it to work with the one i have?

[Crinale]

The ones that they sell on the beach/near the beach all have a bolt on the end with a nut and lock washers.
those are the $15 ones..

they sell the $7 ones that are just the fiberglass pole with flag.. (which is what i have)

[93yotasr5]

im just gonna mount an american flag to my cb antenna. that should fine yes?

[Seanz0rz]

im just gonna mount an american flag to my cb antenna. that should fine yes?


no, you need an orange flag, 6"x12" here is more information: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25980

for us, we are required to have them in the dunes (but not the beach). ATV's are required to have them on the beach as well.

[Crinale]

im just gonna mount an american flag to my cb antenna. that should fine yes?


what sean said.. but, if your CB sits at least 8' off the ground, you CAN just mount a orange or red 6x12 flag to it... but whip flags have to be at least 8' from the ground

[Seanz0rz]

yeah. while my cb antenna sits at 7'11", i could get away with using it, but i rather be safe than sorry and i want people to see me the best they possibly can.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

I'll be getting this at a local cycle gear center.

http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=&item=FAI_BH31-0001_G

8' antenna, and bolt on. exactly what I need. and only 12-14 bucks! :d

[slosurfer]

Lance and I may have lined up some flags today and we'll have them for sale at camp for $10 :thumbup:

[Seanz0rz]

do they say UY on them?

[Good Times]

At the moment no but we're going to try to get em printed w/ the UY logo on it :)

[Seanz0rz]

if you do, i will buy one!

[Scuba]

At the moment no but we're going to try to get em printed w/ the UY logo on it :)


Legaly they've gotta be solid colored with no logos or the like..

Was wondering how the flag pole is secured inside of it?
its some sort of compression fitting. the worst part is the two sections of whip are connected by this steel sleave that has too much weight to it.

[Scuba]

Wait huh?
I'll call you tomorrow if your not busy.

[troyboy162]

in would think the ones that chris is gonna sell will be better. certainly couldnt be worse haha.

[mysticzt4r]

Wonder if I can use my whip off my Wilson to put my flag on? It seems high enough on the top on my roof.

[kafene]

Lance, it looks like I'm actually gonna make it again this year. I got my approval for the weekend off. Will be bringing my whole family this time. Just bought some new camping tents today. Question about the flag and pole... did I read correctly that you may have some for sale? If not, I can just pick up the poles and flag from any off-road place, right?

[slosurfer]

in would think the ones that chris is gonna sell will be better. certainly couldnt be worse haha.


these ones are 8' and one piece, not the two piece design like yours



Wonder if I can use my whip off my Wilson to put my flag on? It seems high enough on the top on my roof.


As long as it ends up being more than 8' off the ground and is able to stand up on its own when you are stopped, then it's fine. YOu would still have to find a flag though, not sure if I've seen anyone just selling the orange flags on their own.

[Good Times]

Yup we'll be selling them. Just waiting for confirmation on Tuesday when they're open.

I should have sample product photos on the website this week after I get the confirmation.

thanks :)

Btw is your brother going to be able to join us or is he swamped with school?

The top on the Wilson is way over 8ft and it is pretty firm to hold a flag. I also had custom flags made up for my self but I will for sure grab a UY flag to add to mine.

The top flag has to be the solid red or orange, but you can mount club or other flags underneath the solid color flag

Well yes. But I didn't want anyone showing up thinking a flag they buy from Lance or Chris is all they need to hit the dunes ;)

[slosurfer]

Well yes. But I didn't want anyone showing up thinking a flag they buy from Lance or Chris is all they need to hit the dunes ;)


Whatever we end up selling will be something that will be legal to have out there and all you need. We are checking about having a small logo on the orange flag. I think they are more worried about it having a pattern and not being as visible, hence the wording they use.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

All the ATV companies out there have logos on their flags, so I'm sure a black logo on an orange flag will be fine

[kafene]

Btw is your brother going to be able to join us or is he swamped with school?


He said that he had clinicals that day, but would head out afterwords for late Saturday. I almost didn't make it, but miraculously got the weekend approved. Would have been a bummer considering I sold my Taco and got my 4Runner solely on the fact that I had such a good time last year.

[slosurfer]

yeah, that's what we're thinking. Either that or we'll just do an orange logo on and orange flag. :laugh:

Glad you can make it and hopefully your brother too! :thumbup:

[Crinale]

i think after the law a bunch of the atv companies started having 2 flags on their whips... i could be wrong though

[4x4mike]

In 2007 I bought a flag there that had 2 flags on the whip.

And that's where you broke quite a few items that weekend! :P which then lead to you buyin the 4runner :D

[ethernectar]

Looking forward to this as my first outing with my 4Runner.

Is there a 'recommended essentials' list of stuff I should bring or have on board?

I've got a hi-lift and the associated accessories, tow strap... what else?

[Good Times]

If you're planning to camp for the weekend, you'll want to make sure you bring appropriate camping gear (i.e. chairs, tent, sleeping bag etc). As for exploring the dunes, basic tools, recovery gear, fire extinguishers etc are recommended.

Read more about what to bring here: Read me (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php/411/event-rule-book)

Other than that, if you want to try Roxie's Deli and Market's awesome sandwiches, make sure to pre-order here (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php/store?page=shop.browse&category_id=4&Treeid=5). You'll also need a safety whip which will be available later this week click here (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php/store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=31&category_id=6). All pre-orders can be paid either via paypal immediately or onsite at the event. :)

A few more weeks out!

Thanks! Placed orders for both. So we can get to the campsite without the whips, right? We just need them to go out into the dunes?

And that's where you broke quite a few items that weekend! :P which then lead to you buyin the 4runner :D



Only thing I broke was a PA speaker the entire weekend. Truck worked like a champ. Actually i showed up with an oil leak and enough sand globbed up on it it plugged.

[Good Times]

At the moment the orange flag will just be the plane jane orange flags complete with whip and the bolt on the bottom. As soon as the printers get back to me I'll have confirmation on we'll be able to add the logo or add another flag below it with the UY logo.

In the meantime I've added the standard safety whip flag on the storefront so feel free to pick one up from us.

Note that you do not need the whip to be on the beach. Once you leave the beach and enter the dunes, you'll be required to have a safety whip on your vehicle so if you forget to get one before entering the beach, we'll have ample safety whips available for purchase onsite. I'll try to make sure we have extra zip ties and drills to make holes on whatever you guys want for mounting the flags.

A quick way to mount flags w/o permanent damages to your vehicle:

Pick Ups - use the tailgate and just jam the safety whip between the bed and the tailgate. Works effectively with no damages anywhere!

SUVs - Use the rear passenger windows (driver or passenger) and then run the flag pole thru there. Just make sure you either zip tie the pole on the inside to keep it steady. Also not a permanent thing so no damages anywhere!

[ethernectar]

Cool, will pick up a flag there. I have a 3' CB antenna on top, so if I attach it to that I'll meet their 8' min.

My sister lives in Santa Maria, so I won't be camping, but really looking forward to it. Any news of a NorCal caravan?

[4x4mike]

Uh, you have to camp on the beach. It's part of the entire experience. If you leave you'll miss out on the night run. Pack a sleeping bag and sleep in your vehicle.

Got your email and replied back. :thumbup: The day pass is good until 11pm and then they can give you a ticket ($230 last time I checked), camping passes are $10. Sometimes when I go meet people out there but don't want to camp, I'll pay the $10 and then I don't have to worry about leaving by a certain time (11pm can come really quick if you are having fun or someone breaks down on a night run. I think our last night run took over 2hrs and we left camp after 9pm. If I were you, that's what I would do for Saturday and throw a sleeping bag in your 4runner just in case. :)

[MaK92-4Rnr]

question on the safety regulations... are those going to be strictly enforced, ( not that im going to break the rules ) simply asking if we are going to be "checked" kinda like a DUI check point for each individual thing?

[MaK92-4Rnr]

by the way, we already have a group of 3 driving down from the Sacramento area. a friend of ours is meeting up with us on 5 somewhere ( we haven't decided on a location where we are meeting him ) but where are you located Ether?

Most of the things there apply, but some of the safety equipment isn't needed in every vehicle. As long as someone in your group when you go out in the dunes has it. Believe me, you don't want to be out there and no one in your little group has a snatch strap....

[L33T35T Tacoma]

And if you do go out without recovery gear, you better have lances or my phone number and a GPS

[Good Times]

If you guys get stuck out there, just give me a call. my number is listed in the website under the emergency communications section click here (http://www.pismojamboree.com/index.php/411/communication).

I'll be hanging out at the event booth all day and will be available to support only if you guys get into a hairy situation. Otherwise just enjoy yourselves out there and have a blast! Make sure you guys take a lot of photos of everyone being stuck as those photos will be priceless on the web :tongueout:

Are you guys planning on being there on friday? If so what time?

[MaK92-4Rnr]

We haven't really discussed a time of departure. i'd assume early in the morning because its a 5-6 hour drive...

Another one? Congrats. I'm 99% sure I won't be there. One of the reasons is the wife and baby both of which would not be going.

[xonetruthcrewx]

Yep, another one. Daughter is now 4.5 and my Son is just 2 months. Just a little too much of a hassle to make it this year. But next year its on like Donkey Kong.

[some_odd_girl]

I'm probably going to be able to come, I got a job! I'll find out for sure tomorrow if I can get the time off or not.

Hey, congrats Colin! :thumbup:


Everyone else, stay tuned for new info on flags and gps event info... have to eat dinner first :flipoff:

[slosurfer]

Okay, here's the deal on the flags......

The actual "store" should be updated tonight or tomorrow

The 8ft. 5/16" thick poles with mounting bolt, washers, etc with the regulation orange triangle safety flag will be $10 (The triangle flag has no logos or writing on it per the regulations at the dunes and other OHV parks)

We also will have rectangle flags with the UY logo that you can add to your whip under the orange safety flag. It should slide on most any whip or cb antenna and will include zip ties to secure it.

Info note for all the rock bashers out there:

Paint your exposed metal!

last year my sliders looked like a 89 ford taurus after the salt mist was on them for a couple days

[MaK92-4Rnr]

lol I have a rather used budbuilt skid plate that already has surface rust on it... i wasn't even gonna bother painting it. think it'll hurt it? I plan on resurfacing it after the trip.

[Seanz0rz]

same happened to my bumper, and my trailer!

[93yotasr5]

If at least throw primer on the Bare metal. Things will rust after the first night in some cases.

We do have records on how many times one can get stuck in a short period and I believe Masa still owns the record :P I think he got stuck a bunch of time just around the camp area! :tongueout:


There was that guy in 2007 with the supercharged tacoma with a broken front diff. He was stuck all over the place.

and steve, some of us actually like our chit to look decent.

[slosurfer]

That was Nick, and yes, him and his girlfriend were very cool and funny. He had a broken front diff and I think with the supercharger he was still geared pretty high and he had a detroit in the rear. The combination had him digging in everywhere he went, but damn if he wasn't a good sport about it. :thumbup: I think he lives over in the valley somewhere.

[Crinale]

looks like he wasnt aired down enough... id guess only to about 15psi.. my .02

So, there's a how-to clinic at Hollister Hills this weekend (18th). I'm tempted but I don't want to overload myself with too much info / excitement with the Jamboree coming up. Will there be clinics and the like at the Jamboree or will it just be whenever someone gets stuck?

I've done a fair amount of trail driving, but never really anything too technical. Am I just freaking myself out?

If I don't go to the clinic there will be one this spring, so I could always go then.

[mysticzt4r]

Lance usually gives some kind of recovery clinic at Pismo Jamboree.

Last year he did once with a hi-lift and a air jack. :D

You'll be fine. Driving around on the dunes isn't all that technical. It's just common sense stuff--watch out for other people and don't get too off camber. You can avoid the areas you don't feel confortable with. It's easy. Last year there was a mom and daughter out there for the first time, and they did fine.

Air down your tires and either make sure you have a tow strap, or be with somebody that has one. A shovel would be a good idea too. You will get stuck....it's part of the fun.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

My truck is currently suffering from an ignition issue... I did a tune up and everything went to hell! lol gotta love how I tried giving it some TLC and it gets worse... FML... lol oh well, should be diagnosed tomorrow, and up and running for the jambo! just spending money I didn't wanna spend :/

[Seanz0rz]

ill be out there with my pull pal trying to figure out a good field modification for it to work in sand with what i have in my vehicle.

i ALWAYS get myself in one tricky situation every year. it happens! a shovel, a strap, and a few friends are good things to have out there.

[93yotasr5]

Got my pull strap readily available! Just dialed in my trailhead deflators last night 15psi rear tires and 20psi front tires

If anybody is interested, I will be setting up a personal wifi network for me and the lady. If anybody wants in on it (3G connection) let me know, donations are appreciated (the wifi app I'll be buying is 20 bucks) :D

[Scuba]

I might hit you up on that Jmoney :D
Or I might just turn off the iphone for the weekend..

[L33T35T Tacoma]

what version is your iphone on? if you're still on 4.0.1 or lower we can jailbreak you and hook you up with a 10 day free trial of the program. Too bad I used my free trial a long time ago.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Also, I would like to setup a server system so we can all share photos... I'd make a wireless network with a server on it so we can all add photos to the server but nobody will be able to delete anything. I'll probably do a mock trial at my house. should be fun!

[troyboy162]

hey thats a neat idea. i plan on taking alot of pictures this year. i didnt get nearly enough last year.

[Seanz0rz]

i will be turning my phone off this year. nothing more annoying than having your phone bing when you get an email while sitting in a hammock. camping + cell phones = no bueno.
