Hello all,

Well, with 2014 being right around the corner that means the 3rd annual Pismo Beach Nor Cal/So Cal gtg is also coming up soon. And rumor has it that we will be breaking from tradition next year, and NOT scheduling it on Super Bowl weekened like we have the last two years. Which incidentally I prefer, because the beach is never packed, and I am not a football fan. Anyway, it is tentatively scheduled for the following weekened which I believe would be 8th/9th, of Feb 2014.

So, if anyone would like to meet some of the So Cal FTE folks, and/or do some light off roading in the sand, make plans to attend. I know Pismo Beach is not close to anyone in the Nor Cal area, so I do understand if nobody wants to travel that far. It is a long drive even for me, and I am the southern most member of the Nor Cal chapter, but if you don't mind the drive, and have nothing else planned that weekend, come on down.

It is $6 a day if you are not going to camp overnight, and $10 if you are. I like to get there around 11am on Saturday, spend all day there, and camp over night, then leave some time Sunday morning. I see no reason to drive 4-5 hours, just to spend 4 hours there, and then have to drive the 4-5 hours back. So, I stay overnight in my Bronco with a sleeping bag for warmth, as it gets pretty cold there at night. I may even bring thermals this time as I seem to remember my legs were cold even with the sleeping bag.

edit: Forgot to mention if you want to do some four wheeling you will need a flag on your vehicle. I have two, an orange one I zip tie to the tailgate mounted spare tire carrier, and an American flag I slip over the radio antenna.

That sounds like fun Jim, I will have to see what the Work load is like. Do we have to RSVP or just show up?

 

You can just show up if you like, but it would be cool to know if you are coming or not, so we can look for you. When we have gone in the past, we usually set up by post #4. So if you do go, you can look for us there.

Jim

 

I always miss out on the fun stuff.

 

I will bring the Nor Cal banner, so it will be easy to spot us.

How's the Stand holding up Jim, you didn't use the PVC for your sprinklers did ya

 

Nope, no grass to water, so no need to have sprinklers. LOL Do have a tree and a rose bush, and a cactus in the very back, but I don't water them. Someone threw an egg at my front window, so I guess I will use my hose, and spray nozzle to get that off. Only been there for about 4 days. LOL.

Thanks for kicking this off Jim, I've started the So Cal invite thread.

Is Lil bubbles coming, or will it be just you?

Jim

 

Well I added my name just in case, still not sure what projects are in the mix at that time, lil bubbles Probably not might be too cold for her.

 

Well, at least I will not be the only Nor Cal person there this time, assuming you can go of course. Too bad Lil Bubbles will not be there, though.
