October 

Pismo (Oceano) Dunes October 18,19  Sat. - Sun.

 Saturday Sunday October 27 ,28

Pismo Beach didn't let anybody down due to great weather, increased camping areas and smooth dunes. Although it was a small ABA turn out, many weekend warriors were out to have a great time. The weather got better each day, topping out in the high 70's with clear skies. Access on to the beach was relatively easy, especially with the increased camping area from mile marker 6 down to 9 due to the reopening of the "snowy plover" beach area. Scott Swanson earned the Goof trophy for forgetting to install the axle hub nut on his ATC. Luckily, the local rental and parts store had it in stock. We did lots of runs, kicked it at the camp fire with fellow neighbors and had a safe trip all together.
