no, but i figured you wanted to stay in a hotel than pitch a tent.

option #1 : hotel / motel
option #2 : KOA
option #3 : buggytown / tent

How many tents in Buggytown? Seems the easiest nightly stumble........

I can tent or drag my trailer down :duh:

Is it a full on campsite or rough/wild camping? Doing some sums here :dunno:

We should see if RevPaul and DeezPanshes are even toying with the idea of the trip......Paul? I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna bail on the annual "Boys Weekend at the Cabin"....funny how priorities change......

Buggy camp has water and power (110, 30 amp) for campers. Motel 6 is the same price as microtel but bigger rooms and nicer people.
I just got home from the trip after nabx and will work on the itenerary for pot luck times and locations. We also post times to meet at the beach with tides and winds in mind.
Now I will tell you jimmy and I have buggied our ass off the last two days at Sunset Beach. It is going to be a great summer at Sunset Beach.

Buggycamp is the no frills site as far as amenities.
However it is the central meet location after a day at the beach.

Yes it is convenient to stumble back to the tent!
We have toned it down some though. The deer, and the bears were complaining.

We typically cook a communal breakfast each morning.
When there isn't a potluck scheduled we (those at buggycamp) chip in for dinner.

Great group of people on the beach, and back in camp.
If you are on the fence about coming, just do it.
The memories will last forever.

You gonna eat that? :o

Oh did I mention we have a "Hanging Tree" meeting spot also?

Anything to drop a pound or 2...

What are the temps like on the coast that time of year? Up here we're either in a heatwave or we're dodging snow already.

Typically in the 60's, same as most of the summer. Out heatwave will put us up into the high 70's...lol Too cool for some, but ayeee like it.

I have the vacation time booked off, just have to build up some good behaviour points with my wife. I would really like to get some long runs in on Sunset Beach.

expect mid to hi 60's for the air and mid 50's for the water.

Also, if the wind now is any indication, it should be a good year for wind!

It was a fantastic day at Sunset yesterday! Yeeehaaawww

Bison, CSA, John and me were making sure the beach is nice and smooth for SOBB,
except where CSA got his truck stuck in the sand!

Thanks again for the great day!
Chris

Wish I could have made it... I was down in Manzo with the family. They wanted to just hang out locally. Got out on he beach for a bit of buggying while the wind was blowing. Shot a great video that I need to post :D Hope you had good wind up there.

stop typing ... so jealous, only 2 months to go

Who all's coming to SOBB 2011 and when?

I'll be there 9/2-9/11. Kelci will be there 9/2-9/5 and 9/9-9/11.

Anyone else?????

I just don't know. Do I really want to do this? What the hell, why not! 9/1-9/11

hmmm, not sure I can make the drive. Any donations for travel cost??? :P

Airin and I may stroll by and see what's going on?
Should we bring kites?

Donna and I will be there 9-1 to 9-5,Looking forward to some good riding on the beach.

I'll be there on Saturday... wind has been howling albeit very gusty down south. Today was crazy 8/21/27 was the sort of it today :o Someone do a wind dance!!! or maybe sacrifice a kite...

It was actually pretty nice here today. Wind was right around 12-15 NW (stuck with only 1 kite for over 3 hrs and sections of the beach have improved since last week. Although the entrance is still a challenge. Hopefully the county will do some work on it this week in anticipation of the 3-day holiday.

I bet cool breeze has a plow. I hope to be there from 9/2-9/5. I have a truck to help get on the beach but I am sure there will be others. That is if a truck will even make it out onto the beach.

I will be there the second half. Hope to get Todd there also.

I will be bringing a couple of Flexboardz if anyone cares to try them out, also got some new Kites for anyone to Demo.

I will be there Sept. 3 and am looking very forward to meeting all of you guys I've chatted with over time, and seeing all my good old friends.
Conditions have been very good, I just got back from 3 days of incredible buggying in Lincoln City and it was nukin like Arkay said. I can hardly wait to get back in the saddle at Sunset with you guys!
Drive safely,

Chris

Bigkid - when's "halfway" for you? Would hate to leave early and miss you and your toys!

Macboy, I got to see the doc thursday AM, then its Beach bound for the rest of the week.

Today was probably the best buggy day of the summer., 15/20 WNW all day... that is so far... next week will be even better!
