i think it's a Densa meeting.
You could probably set up a mobile oil-change/bearing repacking business
there, but they would just wait until the bearings rust and denounce their
vehicles as "high maintenance junk".

Glamis is nice but its not like it used to be when I was a teenager....
I really don't need to go on about the Hummer 100K buggy crowd to
explain further.

As for Pismo the few pictures I have put up are not even a start... I
have tons but I never got around to putting them all up, I may have to
do so... they are great.

From the guy in the Mercedes 300E that went through 2ft of water once,
twice, then a third only to get stuck on the 4th and get towed out to a
brand spanking new Dodge V10 (still with dealer plates) try to cross 4ft
of water are some of my favs. The time a man and a lady in a Ford
Ranger with the lady saying no right up to where they got stuck, you
could see her yelling at him in the middle of the river... I'll dig
those pictures out this weekend and put them up for everyone :)

To get to Oceano Dunes you have to cross the Arroyo Grande Creek which
often flooded during high tide. It was always best right after a storm
but they don't release as much water as they used to...

Anyway for those on the Oceano Dunes side of the creek who wanted to
head out of the SVRA either had to wait until the high tides went down
or take their luck. Every angle and way of attacking the creek went
down, some made it and some didn't. Maybe if some didn't listen to the
bystanders egging them on with "sure you'll make it" they wouldn't have
had destroyed their cars/trucks/motorhomes :)

Re: No No NO! You need a Jeep for that not a Vette!
 

Driving on the beach at Pismo is like driving on compact dirt road,
even up into the camping areas of the dunes, so it sucks in these people
with their giant motorhomes. Then they get into situations like this
ordinarily little stream that usually runs about six inches deep. The
pictures displayed here were probably of people that enjoyed dunning in
the park to the south and upon leaving realized the high tide had
narrowed their exit path to a deeper part of the stream. Bummer, because
I don't believe there is another way out. Some interesting pictures of
old Pismo Beach, one showing the ramp everyone uses to get to the beach
and the stream to the south, near the bottom of this page:

Oh I see they were headed out to the dunes and had to cross the water.
Yeah that makes sense, although trying to do it in some of those cars
doesn't make sense. My old Chevy truck could go through almost 4 feet
of standing water. but it was a tall truck and you had to lock the
clutch driven fan into place. It was sort of designed to do that type
of thing like a lifted Jeep is. But the Rustang is going to live up to
it's name. Oh is that salt water or Fresh? :)

Re: No No NO! You need a Jeep for that not a Vette!
 

More than likely they got trapped on the other side, and are trying
to exit, as the fresh water turns to salt water high tide. Reminds me of
the twelve foot tides in Sand Felipe, Baja California, on the flat areas
we'd be running for our lives and if the car didn't start, it was c'est
la vie. It's pretty down there, if it wasn't for the 250 miles of bad
road: http://www.oz.net/~geoffsi/baja2001.htm
