3rd Annual Turf-N-Surf (Nov 8, 2014)
« on: Nov 17, 2014, 11:22:13 AM »
3rd Annual Turf-N-Surf
We sent BigMike and his wife to this year's Turf-N-Surf. TNS, hosted by the Central Coast Land Cruisers, is the continuation to TLCA's Surf-N-Turf event that ended four years ago. There wasn't much of a schedule for this event, instead it was a very friendly and inviting "Come as you are" and "Tag along with anyone as you'd like" type event. This made for a pleasant and low stress event, rather gathering, that BigMike was surprised to have had so much fun at. In the words of this Rock Crawler, "Sand is for Litter Boxes", BigMike admittedly really enjoyed the day at the beach, even despite all day fog! More info from this event may be found here: http://centralcoastlandcruisers.com/turf-n-surf/about/ (Nov 8, 2014)

Approaching the Pismo Beach area on south bound 101. It was a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l day to be at the beach .... until we saw this! >_<


Like always there were many cars stuck right after the entrance to the vehicle recreation area. BigMike helped this 4cyl Camry out.


Heading towards Mile Pole 6 near Mile Marker 3. This was essentially the weather for the whole day.

BigMike getting ready to go full throttle with his 3RZ-FE big block 4cyl


Don't look but BigMike is smiling while out playing in the sand! He said his Rock Crawler could go nearly anywhere, with only one long & steep hill stopping him. He was impressed with how the IROKs performed in the sand but also very leery as to how much sand has gotten inside his knuckles and axles!


Towards nightfall it was really becoming foggy. Visibility was decreasing by the minute.


Back at camp, saying goodbye to our good friends from our local 4X 4HIM Christian 4WD Club.

Nice pics Big Mike!  I spent almost everyday after school in the dunes with buddies growing up in Arroyo Grande.  Good times 😄.  Maybe I'll make it out next year.  Be a good excuse to go see family too.  Looks like you guys had a good time.

So was this guy.





I also got a very dark video of him flying through the middle of camp on Saturday night.
