Pismo Summer 2010 Trip Report...

[Nick]

The most action that i saw, was getting stuck 4-5 times just driving to camp. STUPID auto hubs!



The Gonzalez Brothers got up early to cook us an awesome breakfast!



Tri tip n eggs, chorizo n eggs, bacon and all the fixins for breakfast burritos. You guys are the breakfast kung fu masters!

John is wondering what's in his coffee.


All the kids spent most of the day digging the pit of doom for the rc's to jump, and making a short course for them to run on. The pic doesn't do it justice, but this pit was about 4' deep, and 4-5 ' around.


That's about all of my pics. I didn't get a chance to get any action shots, as i was hanging on for dear life when i went out with Parish, and was just to amazed by Tom's truck, when i went out with him.

While i was kind of bummed to have not had a toy to play with, i got some fun rides, and had time to do lots of bench racing and bs'ing. It was a great time!

That'll teach you to open your big mouth about how cool they are BEFORE you are safely back home!

I wouldn't say its king worthy but I aired out the bronco a couple times in the whoop section near camp. ChaseTruck 754 (steve) was in it when we did it.

Not to worry T. We're going to plan another one for Jan.

My Auto hubs work great! It's fun to shift in and out of 4wd while moving.

Meh... it only takes one failure for me to ditch the offending part. This was my first experience with the auto hubs, and the last. Long live Warn premium!

You can do that with the manual hubs too.

Hey Rick, if you could pass along a message to your non bronco friends that came in from paradise. It was great to meet them, and i hope that they can join us again!

Yea, but the axle and drive shaft still spin. Worst of all you have to get out and turn knobs. These are luxury SUVs damnit!

[SteveG]

I'll start working on my damage and we'll be back for another run in January.

Same here. It's time to get the old girl back to her former glory.

[BajaF250]

WE HAD A BLAST!!!!! Thanks so much for the invite!

HAPPY 50th RICK and AMBER (29) TOO!

You guys have such a great group of friends, it was wonderful meeting everyone. You guys made us feel so welcome and part of the group. Everyone was so fantastic! I also must say, the feast was spectacular! The tri tip wsa soooooooo good! All the chow was off the hook. And then, Steve comes back in the morning and fixes the most wonderful breakfast burritos!

Thanks everyone for taking me out to the dunes.... it's the first time the BajaF250 has been out at Pismo... new experience. The truck did great, I sucked! I've gotta learn to drive the dunes! Philo and I launched and I stuffed the front end off some nice air... but as he said, it was only him and me... no one else to watch! Steve, thanks for schooling me in dune running! It only took me 3 tries to get over that tall one... or was it 4!

The BajaF250 did great, nothing hurt, everything works as it should, but the damage I sustained was on my new SuperDuty! I crunched the darn tailgate and then I bent the front of the bed into the back of the cab cinching down the quads! That sucks... the darn truck is only 3-months old. Operator error on rachet straps will get you every time... errrr, operator error!

I owe Chase Truck Steve an apology... a fellow truck brother and I didn't get to share a ride in the BajaF250 with him... my most humble apology... but, if I get an invite to the next one, we go out first!!!

Well, not one photo! I was too busy with either riding the quad or out in the BajaF250... too much fun! I already can't wait for Jan!!

[SteveG]

It was seriously so great to have BajaF250 there. Tom, it was good to have you, too! Ha! I thought you did just fine on the sand. I was perfectly comfortable riding with you and I'm rarely comfortable in the passenger seat. Thanks again for the ride!

Those of you that didn't make it must not miss the next one. The meal alone is worth the drive!

[BajaF250]

What a great weekend! I want to thank Rick for including us in his Birthday celebration, i'd also like to thank everyone that showed up, to make this a memorable event! I really couldn't have asked for a better group of people to be around.

I just got back a little bit ago, and will post pics later.

Hey Nick, How long did it take you to get back? We got stuck in traffic in SB and it crawled all the way to Ventura... we didn't get back until 2230! But boy was it worth it! It was great meeting you!

[SteveG]

Ouch! Traffic through SB BLOWS.

[BajaF250]

Yeah, I think 101 has been under construction in SB since I was at Poly (70's)... it's a career project.

[BajaF250]

I'll start working on my damage and we'll be back for another run in January.

Can't wait to see it all dolled up!!! We need to show the group the early 80's rocks... (err, fords)...

[BajaF250]

Hey Rick, if you could pass along a message to your non bronco friends that came in from paradise. It was great to meet them, and i hope that they can join us again!

I must echo Nick here, John and Kathleen were wonderful as were Bob and C... what great folks... I hope they can both make it back for the next round.

I love my manual hubs... even have them on the new SuperDuty! Didn't want those fancified auto thangs... when you need 'em most is when they stop working!
