PISMO BEACH



There is always a story when we go to the Dunes.......
I was sick this weekend but it was all planned. I needed to get out with the fresh air, and away from my regular routine. So we left. After playing 20 questions a few times and started a movie, I fell asleep. Driving around on the beach was and adventure! Street tires on the new truck. Soft sand...we were asking for trouble. Got stuck a few times.......with the trailer it was a challenge. The other challenge was we'd never been to Pismo so we had no idea how it was set up. At about 12:15 we found a spot on the edge. After getting the tents set up Mike decided to look for a more desirable campsite. Away from a loud Generator and Noisy Drinky neighbors. So it took about another Hour to find a spot and relocate deeper into the sand. We had to air down and lighten the trailer. Took a few trips to the spot keeping one person with the stuff and moving to the other spot leaving someone at the new spot. While the boys were finding the spot Lisa and I had to make a Call to Nature. We were glad it wasn't a full moon. It took about 4 trips to gett all the stuff tho the new location. Good thing we had the Turners with us. When we lightened the trailer we had to take off the Quads so then those had to be ridden up to the new spot. I drove the 250 mike rode his 450 and Ryan Drove the truck while Lisa was watching home Base. Set up again and fell asleep to theVroom Vroom.. of quads all night.


The dogs lived this trip. When I wasn't sleeping Lisa & I would take the dogs on a walk on the beach. Chasing waves and seagulls. One reason we have not many pictures. Water and Sand in Camera. Everyone but mike had a nap. He took everyone on a ride. SHowing them how to ride and how to approach dunes and razors. He's a pretty good teacher, He knows my pace and each time gets a little more challenging. I took it easy. I was under the influence of cough medicine and it says Caution when operating motor vehicles...... or something like that. Here is a picture of the Turners.

It was a quick trip But we had fun. It definetly got us more excited about our trip in August! We also practiced a few things for food too. We eat good when we camp..... maybe a little too good.
