I finally got a chance to clean up and put my gear away while my photos were uploading. Thanks everyone for another great year of sand and fun. Like always there were a lot of new faces and as Lance said, some old faces. I got on the beach at 3 pm, Friday and was greeted by blowing sand which quickly made it into all my crevices and openings, the 4runner also got sandy. This wind was pretty solid until about 7:30 when the sun went down.
This guy had the right idea.
I saw these guys airing down at the entrance. Too bad they didn't stay for the weekend.
Here's my 4Runner sinking as a result of the sand being blown from under it.
Lance didn't make it into the dunes so he went all out in camp.
The rest of the evening was pretty chill while people rolled into camp. Once the sun went down Roy pulled out his entry to the LED challenge. I'll tell you I was quite impressed, even before he said, "We're pushing close to 9000 lumens."
