Just got back from camping on the beach at Oceano dunes(very near pismo so everyone calls it pismo beach).
Didn't take to many pics, but we had a good time. I took Friday off and drove down friday morning. Everyone else came down Saturday morning.
Had a run in with a 40 year old Mexican gang banger, he was looking for some beer, but we didnt have any at the time. He was nice when he was semi sober, but showed up later that night and almost started a fight.
The next morning he had no clue he was a dick in our camp.
Also had family send an 8 year old kid to ask us for smokes!
The beach was really crowded, tons of campers.
The weather was very nice, mid to high 70s durring the day and 50s at night.
It has been a few years since I camped there, and now lots of people put caution tape around their camp site to keep the ATV people from driving right next to your tent.
If you don't put up the tape they do all the time:mad:
I beat the hell out of the jeep in the dunes but didnt get many pictures since you are moving all the time and most of the pics are crap.
The Xterra my sister and bro in law own did better then the jeep out in the dunes. All the advantages a Jeep rubicon has are not at all usefull for sand, since its all horsepower that maters and he has a supercharged X.
My only advantage was aprouch angle.
I did have a minor problem with the heep. Two really.
Since I drove through some salt water I drove down a fresh water stream, I must have splashed a sensor in the AC system because for the next half hour or so with the AC on the Throttle would seem to stick or worse give more gas on its own.
By the time we hit Kingcity on the trip home it had gone away, but the other problem came up.
Going over really bumpy sand must have pulled the Winshield washer hose loose because when I went to use it it popped off and shot water out of the side of the hood.
Easy fix while filling up.
The dunes were fun, next time we are going to camp out in them to avoid all the ATV jerks.
Oddly far fewer go out in the dunes then run up and down the beach at all hours. :rolleyes:
coupla pics.

i will only say this once. Pismo is gay. And BTW check your jeep very carefully for rust.
-
B17 he just bought the thing, I doubt it is rusted out already.
BTW Gto I'm assuming you aired down on the dunes?
-
I didnt air down at first and almost got stuck so I went down to 15 psi and was fine from then on.

ALWAYS air down to around 12-15psi when going on sand, 10psi for rocks. Only hangup would be the Wrangler MT-R's on yer ride (they aren't as soft as BFG's, etc).

Yeah I am leaning towards not liking the MTRs.
When I wear them out something else is going on.

Used to live up there.. (SLO) We always avoided Pismo like the plague. Go out Los Osos Valley road to the montana de oro dunes. Used to be much more fun and a lot fewer people. There were some really tall steep dunes there we would ski.. using an old cut down water ski. I wonder if we invented snow boarding?
Hell, it's probably all houses by now.

So what was wrong with Pismo back in the olden days MT?
All my friends went to Cal Poly so I spent alot of time camping on the beach. This was all in the mid 90s though and it wasnt crowded most of the time (winter).
:D

right,
pismo can do that to everything new or used.
