I was able to check them out at my parents tonight. I was using firefox at the time and still could not see them...I will have to check tomorrow and see if the pics showed up afterall. My wife upgraded our IE and now almost nothing works...I guess we have to go through and change settings or something. I know for sure that the upgrade got rid of the java player and some other things...sheesh...what's the point of upgrading...my online banking does not even recognize the upgraded IE.
Anyway...thanks again for sharing ya'lls trip report. Always enjoy it!!!

The Family & I had a good time. I had the most fun when ghostraider / Kris took us out to the dunes and did some challenging obstacles and even GrassCat / Michael was out there with us hitting the dunes. The night run was also fun.

Man you were all over those dunes with us, it was awesome! My favorite part was when Kris' Raider got us stuck sideways on a dune and we had to carefully side slide our way out of it. Geez I always forget to check the inclinomter, but it was a nice little rush. Thanks for coming back to check on us Nick!

I can see way everbody was beat and ready to leave. Those sandstorms , the cold and damp and no sleep alway knock the heck outa me. It was perfect weather up in No.County that sat. night and I had no idea what was going on down there. I had a heck of a time leaving Sat. night. That creek was easy in the morning, had to climb up a squared 2 foot wall of packed sand. Allmost knocked my dog off his seat as hard as I hit it. It didn't rain up here untill Tues. The Coast Range held the rain along the coast. Great seeing ya'll, now I'm gonna do more modifications.

Nice being with the group again and meeting some really nice new folks who join the group this time.
It was my first time in the sand and it was fun, even though I did get airborne a couple of time and things flew everywhere in the truck, thought I had it all nailed down, not true. 
To bad we had to cut it short because of the wind, not a die hard like Joanna and Kris.
Joanna will you send me the picture of the GrassCat flying or maybe post it here?
Until the next time, Happy trails you all and may all your problems be small ones.

Michael I so wish that photo came out but the darkness wreaked havoc on my camera's ability to focus. Sorry!  I can say for sure that I was witness to your liftoffs!  Perhaps this means you'll have to visit Pismo again... I'll save your flag for you. 
I know it's not the same but I do like this pic of you!

Thanks for trying Joanna.
The GrassCat looks so lonely up there, most likely the driver was saying, Oh no not another one. 
The first time I went over one of those hills behind Kris I was a little nervous to say the least and the one in the picture was mild. 
For those of you who have never done such a foolish thing, when you are about to go over, there's nothing but sky in your windshield and then the front wheel drop and down you go.
