nah, IH8MUD, but ILUVSAND! much easier to clean, heck you don't need to clean anything outside... well, OK, I rinse off the bottom cuz of the salt, but trivial compared to mud...

No, not much I've been on one run with those guys at Box Canyon.

We bought the FJ for adventures, expeditions, and to take us places we haven't been before, not necessarily to conquer boulders every weekend. That's their thing, and thats cool but it's too bad none went to Pismo....anywho we are mostly over on AZFJ.ORG or Expedition Portal....I posted up about this on AZFJ and there are a few people interested so I'm sure there will be a caravan at some point!

Actually I'm talking about everything....inside the truck, outside the truck, in my shoes, in the tent, and in my ears which is the worst!!! But it should still be fun

Whaoo.... Slow down there... You're bringing 2 Jeeps and a 40?

Can we get a ruling on this?

Yeah, I guess you can hang out.... Just try not to mention what you drove.... It'll save you the hazing...

Everyone- I'm interested in thoughts about the Saturday morning fun run/walk on the beach. Keep it or loose it? Like everything at Surf N Turf it's optional, free and informal, so maybe it doesn't matter what you think...

James--I thought the fun run was cool. I had hoped to be in top shape for this year's event, but I'm still nursing a broken foot, so the training is slow going! Anyway, keep the fun run. I'm hoping you'll run it this year.

One thought for something else to do Friday or Saturday--Softcore tours of the back dunes led by the locals for folks who just want to see the sights and not get lost.

Also, volunteering for the poker run, is great fun itself. You get to meet everyone. I'm in again for whatever is needed.

What is the first night the locals will be camping on the beach?

Looking forward to the event as always.

I think similarly on the type of travel i'm interested in... I also frequent expeditionportal. There was a good thread on there as well that I posted on regarding last years event!

[SLOonTheGo]

I am in for the fun run. Hopefully my stupid knee injury will go away, had to miss Boston because of it. Gives me another reason to pull out the banana yellow running shoes.

So the "Fun Run" is actually a RUN, as in...on foot, with no MOTOR under my butt type run!? Are there any medical personel around? I might keel over if my pace goes any higher than that of a snail...:shotts:

bah! some of us just went chatting and strolling relaxed down the sunny beach, snickering at the puffing and red folks trying to run in the sand.... So no worries, you'll be in good company...

Ahhh man, I am so gonna lose that one... Lifting up my 27 lbs mountain bike is trouble enough, not to mention the manual steering on the 40.

My wife is the runner/ cardio queen...
Ill be hangin on the side lines fo sho!
I get my cardio by breaking and accelerating...
you know, I hear that you can burn 4-5 calories an hour by doing that...

Is there a 40oz curl competition?
Id win that, hands down!

We cant wait to go on this event...Im really looking forward to seeing the rigs, and putting faces with names!
Sounds like a BLAST. Wish my cruiser wasnt so painful on the road for speed....

No worries, just remember the seagulls go for the eyeballs first, the sand crabs will make quick work of the soft meat before the high tide clears the beach of any remains.

AWESOME!
Ill keep that in mind when the coronary happens...

I can at least preserve my pretty blues while the crabs make a SNACK of my "lil willie" before I become shark bait!

There are probably a few of us that are CPR certified and I know of at least one ER doc that will be there, but I doubt any of us would respond to some of the fugly mofo's in this crowd. hehehe...just kidding.

Fun Run? I rarely use the two words in the same sentence. Driving on the sand is fun. Run/walking in it, not so much. That's why I bring the Pig, so I don't have to run/walk.
But, remember that year we spelled out "TLCA" in the sand for the aerial pic?, and then drove up the beach, single file, in an impromptu parade, then turned and doublebacked down the beach, waving at every Cruiser we passed? All 150 or 170ish or so?. That was an awesome sight. LandCruisers as far as the eye could see. And you got to see every rig, and every smiling driver in one swell foop.
I'm not saying we should rent another airplane, or even spell out "TLCA" with vehicles ('Though we could, just to do it), but a nice, leisurely Cruise up and down the beach, honking and waving at each other might be kinda fun.

Do I need to Kennel my dog here or is that just MOAB?
