On our first outing to Hollister we neglected to bring a camera. We were by ourselves on a hot afternoon, and not feeling very adventurous. We had a great time anyway. No pics though. I'm sorry.

We went through one of the rock gardens and generally did more obstacles than I thought we would.

Our 2nd trip was the big one. Surf & Turf '06! It was awesome!

We got stuck about 30' from where we turned onto the soft sand at the camp site. Some helpful mudders recommended 10psi and we spent the rest of the weekend unsuccessfully trying to get stuck. There were a few dunes that were too steep and tall to make it up, but we never got stuck. The little Swampers rock!

Here's my trusty copilot and son, Nick. He's digging a jeep trap.

Check out the stylish green doors. They close well and I've got an original key that works after swapping the lock cylinder.

After Pismo we did the Turf part of S&T. At the top of the Mountain we checked out both sides of Garcia Ridge, hiking up to the Condor Lookout on the west side and wheeling a good bit of Garcia Ridge Trail on the East side. Some of the rocky climbs were more than we bargained for, but we survived. The Holley carb stalled us out on the steepest, most technical climb and my poorly adjusted brakes made the tow-heel-ebrake restart pretty hairy. No pics from Garcia Ridge.
