Pismo/Ocean Dunes Potluck

He was green as could be, like @eon_blue said. Broke a lot of rules and, ultimately, brought a truck that had no business being in the sand out into the sand. The stuff he was in was so soft and squishy it made me uncomfortable.

Someone mentioned it earlier: he told me he was down to 12psi... ZERO side wall flex. bruhhhh

 

So thrilled you all had a terrific weekend!

@MADSTEEZE very sorry to hear of your loss!Stay strong!Prayers to you and your family!

Great pics guys! I only took a couple. Was having so much fun I kinda forgot to take more.

So sorry man. Let me know if you need anything.

I got home at 10:30 and had to unload everything too. How bad was your drive this morning to work? Mine was absolutely terrible. Hour and a half, so much traffic. Should have just stayed up in Pismo

 

I didn't get too many pics either. Too busy having fun..

First evening


Second evening


Prepping for Ram recovery


Jakin on ATV

 

I'll post up some pics tonight after work but like everyone else, I was too busy having fun to bust out a DSLR (especially in the sand) and take a bunch of pictures. I think I may have snagged more on my phone, I'll post up what I can later tonight

 

It's not always easy to focus on taking pics while wheeling, especially on the harder trails where you'd actually want some awesome pictures lol. Its nice to have a copilot that knows how to work a camera when possible, but I usually wheel solo in my truck

 

With a dslr especially, I need to dig up an older one that I won't be so worried about getting dirty...

 

Not sure how many of you had a chance to chat with my buddy, Nate, but he had a great time as well and had a lot of nice things to say about all of you. He just finished his second week of AA, and although I wasn't a very good influence on him this weekend, a lot of you guys were, and that was really awesome. Looking forward to the next trip!

 

I saw @Nicklovin out there getting a bunch of shots.. looking forward to seeing what else he's got.

 

Nate's a fun guy. Tell him he's welcome out with us anytime!

 

Nate's a super cool dude, glad he could come along! Hope he's able to get that 4runner of his up and running soon so he can come out wheeling

 

Agreed. It just needs new front suspension and CV boots, should be good by next time

 

Several years ago I used the program myself to get right after a rough late teens/early 20s. He did really well this weekend especially in an environment like the Pismo campgrounds. He's a good guy, look forward to talking to him some more on future runs.

Awesome! Sounds like it's just about ready, I thought I remembered him saying something about the steering as well but I might be thinking of a different vehicle.

Also thanks again @fishfinder for winching me out of that sketchy dune the first day. I definitely wasted no time in getting the group together for a big recovery lol I ventured off by myself back to camp to go get my radio that I left behind, got stuck and called Alex on my cell phone. Less than a minute later the TW rescue team was there Thanks guys! I definitely learned a thing or two about wheeling in the dunes right quick that morning.

LOL. That was fun man. Thanks for riding along. Your welcome to anytime. Need to ride with me on some regular trails cause that's where I really put this truck to work.

 

Was stoked to use the winch for a recovery down a hill! I think we could have made it up if we communicated a bit better, as pointed out by @ntydog13 ... Good stuff!

 

Got a lot of neat shots on the dslr and on my phone camera of the ram recovery. Have to unload, clean the truck and help my brother get books for school to I may be able to get to the photos tonight
