Looking foward to it again this year. Cool design fot the shirts too!

I'll be there with several friends/Cruisers!
See ya'll there :D
Danny

Condo rented , wife has signed the hall pass , see ya there .
Are you gonna make it Kent ?

I'll have to settle for a t-shirt (already ordered)...hope everyone has an awesome time, let's make sure to keep us non-attending losers well supplied with pictures! :)

I can't wait. Hopefully there will be a good 80 presence there!

Hopefully I'll have my 60 there :)

Can't wait, wish it was this week!!

Sadly the 55 won't be flying over any Pismo Dunes. Not because of the carnage resulting from the Oregon Dunes, but because of the $3.00 gas prices!!!
The 40 gets better mileage!

lets get a poll on how many people are gonna go!!! how many people are gonna be expected for pismo?? POLL SOMEONE START IT IM A NEWBIE!!!! :laughing:

We have the condo rented too...

Justin- do you wanna stay with us, or are you camping? You can sleep on the patio if you are more comfy there??? :flipoff2:

Nothing like waking up to a 4 year old 2 inches from your face staring at you at 7am. :p

Sweet! Same one?

I will be sleeping out in the sand but I will come over and drink some beer in the hot tub again :D looking foward to it :smokin:

im definatley in unless i break something. but i got a few freinds coming.

I'm in but I need to get hotel reservations first. Jim, I checked the link but any specific recs on local lodging? With a pregnent wife and 1.5 year old its kinda a must!

Dan

I am moving to Portland, Or and will have my FJ60 out there.
Gonna do my best to motor down.............. :cool2:

Jim and everyone else, keep an eye out for the Moneypit. It's finally achieving one of my goals to attend the Surf-n-Turf, although it will be doing it with it's new owner :(

Jealous! Still a goal for me, but it doesn't look like this year will happen. Have a good time.

I'll be bringing my FJ40 this year, so whoever wants to brawl on the Pismo baby dunes, just let me know. I'll be there! This time I'm gonna strap down my battery!

Dam dog..

You really want me to blow up the turbo in my 40 huh..

Hope it does not rain... plan on being there.

Is there really goona be racin in the sand Jeff ? I'll try and keep up. Are you bringin the hawgs , I am......

We(wife & I)are planning on going.No toy's that weekend, we plan on sleeping on the beach in the 'burban. Mark bring your guitar and we'll sing some. No comments from the peanut gallery like the 45 run :shaking: . I promise I'll be a good boy.

Is there any problem with not making a reservation for a campsite, and just getting one when I get up there? I would think that about the only people up there at that time of year would be the Surf-n-Turf group.

What would be the point in that!! Dude, you were on a roll! It was all Pighead and I could do to keep up with you!

Still discussing different options with the wife. Might hotel it, might just come in for the evenings. Don't know yet. But I will be there one way or another. :)

Not to worry Mark, you can camp on the beach, I'll have cables! :D

It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about.


:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

hello fellow cruisers. i want to come to the surf-n-turf although i won't have my fj-45 around to drive. is it still cool to come along?

psssh as long as you can tlak cruisers no one cares if you are in one

Is there any problem with not making a reservation for a campsite, and just getting one when I get up there? I would think that about the only people up there at that time of year would be the Surf-n-Turf group.

You do not need to make reservations for the oceano dunes that time of year. I'm not even sure if they take reservations or not. They have plenty of camping area around the shoreline, and a little camping area with restrooms and fire pits tucked back in the dunes a bit that no one really uses much. Those dunes are cool, but my slow little piggy isn't too much of a dune jumper, or climber for that matter. No matter, the pig and a keg or two of homebrew will be there. But being a desert rat, I hate that saltwater. It puts an instant rust coat on everything bare or scratched.

That's right. There is plenty of room for camping on the beach. However, the overnight camping is limited to 1,000 vehicles. This limit is being reached more and more during the summer months, holidays and three day weekends. However, Surf N Turf weekdend has not even come close to selling out. (That's why we like this time of year, we'll almost have the place to ourselves.)

Nonetheless, many people make a big comittment to get here and the piece of mind of a reservation is well worth the $10 fee at Reserve America online.

A good rinse after playing on the beach takes care of the rust issues, really. I'd put my beach cruisers up against any others for a ferrous oxide comparasion. Its not that big of a deal if you don't drive in the surf zone. Especially, if you have a leaky main seal. ;-)

Hi-

Surf-n-Turf newbie question....


Do I need a sand flag?

Thanks

Seth

You do not need to have a flag on a street legal rig, one that has a license plate.

Cant hurt to have a flag safety wise though.

yes you do if you are in the dunes you need a flag doesnt matter if its a power wheel or a unimog you need a flag

Although I advocate using a flag on all vehicles in dune areas, I would like you to show me the CV code that mandates this.

This will be my 3rd Surf n Turf !!!!

Really fun no stress event.

Thanks Jim

pismo sold out this weekend but there was a quad enduro race. They re opened up a ot of the beach front now so you don't have 1000 campers in 1/2 the sapce they need. I'll probably head up there but I dont' have a LC or 4x4 toyota, but I do have a 2x4 toyota. here's a pic or 2...Here's one before I got rid of the flames.

started pulling out the camping gear...hope the weather is as nice as last year.

keep an eye out for me George!

cruiser's not ready but the CR500 is!

kj

if it turns crap( the weather) just swing by the condo , we will be watching the beer and prime rib so it does not get wet . if you can't find us just hollar on the cb or ask someone at beach camp.

my appearance at SNT is in limbo. i have to have eye surgery within the next 2 weeks so hopefully i'll be able to schedule it right after the event.:(

If you do it before, you can wear those cool square shades on the beach!!:D

http://www.ohv.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=1227


EQUIPMENT
All vehicles operating in the SVRA (beach and dune area south of Post 2), must be equipped with the following:

An adequate muffler. (Required for vehicle operation in any area.)

An 8' whip with an orange or red flag with a minimum size of 6" x 12".

Except for two-, three-, and four-wheeled cycles, all vehicles shall be equipped with adequate roll bars or roof structures of sufficient strength to support the weight of the vehicle and shall have a secure seat and seat belt for the vehicle operator and each passenger. Seat belts shall be as specified in the California Vehicle Code.

And maybe Ken will jump his remote control 40 again!


Looking forward to another great year Jim!

we are running on all 8 cylinders this year in the 40. I hear there will be an 80 series there that likes to jump.... Drexx are you out there?

Georg , need a ride to the party ?

possibly, but only if i can't get the stocker done. if my surgery is before SNT, then there's no way i can go.:(

damn it, i was planning on taking my SAS S10 out for a test run that weekend, and the place is gonna be crawling with yotas :)

J/K i'll probably be there testing cause its only 15 min from my house, i look forward to seeing some sick FJs, i've always thought they were pretty cool.

can someone make a countdown clock please i know you can somehow do it!!! just thought it would be fun for everyone:grinpimp:

See you guys @ the sand box. Showing up late fri night.

ive got reservations at pismo coast village.. they have a storage yard accross the street from the campground that they let you park trailers in. (dragging my 40 behind the motorhome) stayed there before and its nice. this will be our first surf and turf and im looking forward to it. thanks again jim and look forward to meeting you.. :beer:

really , really , could I be last chance loser , oh could I.?

A few of the locals made a pre-run of the Las Chiches trail yesterday. The trailhead is 8 miles or twenty minutes from Pozo. It's only 3 miles long and the return (its a loop) is 7 miles. It took us two hours round trip from the saloon. We stopped for the usually BS'ing, pictures, etc.

The trail suitable for any 4WD. It follows a ridge top with OUTSTANDING views in all directions. The trial is primarily used by motorcycles and some places are narrow with brush. The biggest obstacles are steep sections with loose rocks (It's steeper than it looks in pictures) and water bars. There are a few rutted sections where you may drag your diff on a stock rig. It looks like a great trail for Surf n Turf.

We stopped at Pozo Saloon for a gallon of Fat Tire ale. We tlaked with Rhonda the owner about next weekend. She still feels bad about the food/service delays last year. THis year she is bringing in lots of Tri Tip and Chicken and will provide us are very own BBQ in the back. It will be delicious, reasonable and quick.

The weather was perfect.

Here's a few pics of the Las Chiches trail on IH8MUD:

Well sad but true. I am not going now :( I had to chose between SNT and a Bronco game in Dallas on thanksgiving. Being a rabid Bronco fan,getting free airline tickets I chose the game. I had a great time last year but I got to do this. THe Broncos are playing awesome this year! I will do what it takes next year.

I was planning on setting up my camp Thursday morning but I can always run down for a few minutes. In fact I just got back from an evening pre-run, its a warm night this evening with off shore breezes. It looks great out there.:smokin:

I also checked to see if they sold out campers this weekend, they didn't and don't expect to sell out next weekend either. :)

Anyway, give me a call and I'll come down and laugh at you, err.. I mean help you find your way down the beach.:flipoff2:

But I'm going down to start my SNT Thursday morning. :D

Soooooooooo...........?:confused:

:D

So somehow toploader and I managed to miss each other all weekend. And I had a special song just for him!:flipoff2:

I think even Georg would have to admit that I got "Black" down pretty good for the short time I've been working on it.:cool2: Second rendition was a little more slurred than the first, mostly owing to a few hits on Miklaus' hungarian hootch! Then I almost managed to bury the wife's suburban right outside of camp. She swears I was drunk, but I beg to differ!:D

Fully thing is, the only one that asked for a folk song the whole time was peesalot! Who'da thunk?:p

Post some pics please:D
