Hi Lutz,

 

I won't be able to make the short drive from Templeton to the dunes. I'll be in Tahoe that weekend at ice hockey camp. Thanks for organizing it again!

I would like to go if I can. (Still not entirely clear on this insurance thing.) I have a tour at Cal Poly 11:00am on the 16th, so I would come in Friday Afternoon/Evening. I would be driving the resurrected White Disco (Winch, 3in lift, 32" tires)

 

-Tyler

 

Come on out.Don't get to distracted from all the cute girls at cal poly.

OK guys trip right around the corner. It has been windy so dunes will be soft and steep. Looks like the wind is calming down so keep your fingers crossed. I will post up a gpx track to campground that will be the easiest way to camp for everyone.
