Trailmaster Agenda: Pismo Beach/Oceano Dunes
March 24-27, 2005
Trailmaster: Terry Crawford
This 3,600 acre off road area is among the most popular and unique of California State Parks. The 5 ½ miles of beach open for vehicle use and the 1,500 acres of sand dunes available for off highway motor vehicle recreation are attractions for visitors from throughout the United States.
UPDATE 3/21/05:
According to the weather report, it is supposed to be nice on Saturday and Sunday, with just a few showers on Friday. Beware though, the river crossing is high, so please moniter the tides to not
hit the crossing at high tide. At high tide, you will not be able to cross the river. For Friday, low tide is about 3:30PM and 3:30 AM. Check tide Info here
We are leaving on Thurday afternoon from Salinas at about 1:00pm. Once there, depending on the weather, we will find a great camping location. If you are coming, once you have crossed the river, or if you have problems doing so, please give us a call and we will tell you where we are as cell phones do work on the beach. We will also be on CB channel 15.
We are planning on staying until sometime on Sunday and then heading home. If you have any questions, you can contact myself, or Terry Crawford, the trailmaster.
Thanks!

OHV's must be transported to this point before unloading. Any areas on the beach or in the dunes that are fenced or signed are closed to vehicular use because they either contain sensitive plant and animal life or are private property. |
