I'll be there on the 31st through the 2nd and will be staying at buggy camp. Cant wait to get there! Praying for good wind and good weather!

Only a week away!! Woooohooo! Can't wait!!

I plan to arrive Saturday morning and be there for the week
So Stoked!
Im bringing some Ruby Ale too!

Three more days until I'm on the beach.Looking forward to seeing everybody.
Any report on the beach approach condition.Is it driveable without four wheel drive?

The approach isn't looking very good. But both Del Rey and Gearhart approaches are good, so getting on and off shouldn't be a problem. Had some great runs today and the weather forecast is looking pretty good.

And some great practice getting a kia unstuck....... :embarrased: Thanks again, Jim. Had some good riding after you headed out. More tomorrow.

Jim do you take your big van out on the Del Rey entrance and just drive down to the mile posts?

thx
Chris

Not to worry guys...I'll be down on Friday morning ready to pull everyone out...make sure you have tow points on your vehicle.

That's what I did yesterday Chris. Just didn't trust it. I might add that it's not necessarily the approach that will get ya. And that's all I have to say about that (Josh):evil:

Is there somebody we can call to get the runway cleared before sobb?

there's going to be a call made, but doesn't look promising considering what happened last year. They did come out and do something after they were told how a few close calls of accidents happened. All they did was was put signs warning people to slow down.

Oh, OK. Thanks Jim.

I resemble that. :moon: In all fairness I did wait until I made it through the difficult part of the approach before I got stuck the first time. Went down and checked Del Ray last night. It was fine save for the jerk in front of me that went down, got to the soft sand and tore a huge cookie right out in front. Burned 'em off on the way back up too. I love that.

We went on at Del Ray today though and it was not too bad. Buggied in the storm- steady 27 gusting into the 30's. Raining so hard I could barely see where I was going, but it was a blast.

Josh, you are an animal to be out in there in those conditions,
way to fly.

I'm ready for SOBB

Thank for the report.We're on our way early tomorrow.Hoping to be out for the afternoon low tide
I'm ready to roll.:roll::roll:

Already here.

At the moment the forcast is for NW winds all weekend.

What does NW mean in relation to the beach? Side on ?

NW would be that if you are facing north, the wind would be coming from about 10:30 position.

I guess I am asking if the beach runs exactly north / south ? Meaning we can expect side onshore winds with a NW.

Somehow I thought the beach doesn't run true north / south and a NW wind is bad for long runs? Your typical wind!?

Now Jim is going to tell me N.W refers the the whole region of the United States that I will drive through ! :P

Coming from the North the beach runs SW so a NW wind is not Ideal, a SW wind would be better, but with a good kite you can get some long runs in a NW.

A NW wind is not to bad.
It may take a little bit of taching to get to the ship wreck but will make one hell of a downwind run to camp.

24 hours and counting....just finished packing......STOKED!!

Thanks MDK. (see you are a Good TR ! ) That is pretty much what I thought.

Weathernetwork is calling for wind every day ! Unfortunately it seems consistantly NW .

I will see for myself starting tomorrow!

Hope Kiteboyza is OK ? He should have hit the road already and we haven't heard from him?

That pretty well sums it up... :bigok:

Looks like Kiteboyza is on the road. He's posting road trip pics already on FB.

I will arrive before 6 PM Friday
Saturday morning is just too long of wait!

When are the rest of you guys going to arrive?

SO STOKED!
sand flea

Just heading out now....I'll be on the beach in the morning
See you soon.....STOKED!!!

Ken(K3)

Leaving soon .

Not sure I will take the car out on the beach if approaches are like last year. I might hang up at the shipwreck until we check in during high tide. Then the evening on Sunset!

WooPwOOp! :roll::bouncy::roll:

leaving Seattle at 2:30pm, 3 hours to get through Tacoma, eat dinner, drive like a mad man, should be at Sunset by 8:00 Saturday morning

I made it on at Del Rey no problems and towing a trailer, Ken. You can do it! Better than a long walk. Just pay attention to the tides. The beach gets small fast down there.

Leaving Westport around noon today, should be at Phil's buggy camp around 2:00.
