Planning a trip to the beach

[alexrex20]

You're definitely more prepared then I am.

A TGT beach day would be nice too.

We do it the same way when we go. If you just want to hoon around on a beach, there are other beaches you can go to, without fear of getting stranded and starving to death lol.

I'm not too worried. I was looking on google maps vs. their beach parking permit map for various areas.

I was just going to bring a couple gallons of water and some food. Buy a few sleeping pads and sleep in the bed of the truck lol.

You only worry when you get to Mile Marker 60 and get stuck. If you stay in the first 10mi, there are plenty of people, should you need any emergency assistance.

Usually at least once a day the Park Ranger drives all the way to the end. So no matter where you are you should at least see him twice as he passes you coming and going.

 

[Texan2]

Stay near the water's edge and you should be fine...especially in 4 wd.

 

[Texan2]

Get stuck late in the day and you could be living like Gilligan for a day or so.

I'll try and pay extra attention to it. You guys have effectively scared me.

 

[alexrex20]

well don't rely on the park rangers coming by. i've been down there where we never saw them drive by, and when they did it was on a John Deere Gator...

we're not trying to scare you, just making sure you're well-advised and have a safe, enjoyable trip.

Chunky,
That first pic looks like a before and after of the same Jeep!

The RAngers I have talked to told me that at least once a day one of them goes to the end and comes back. Perhaps on those days you are talking about they had other stuff going on. Who knows?

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Anyone interested in possibly going this weekend?

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

My nephew's Bday party is Saturday, otherwise I'd be in.....

 

[Texan2]

Will be in Colorado....sorry

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

What kind of vehicle you taking?

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

My 2010 F150 supercrew. I was going to go try to find some broken pallet somewhere, and maybe pick up some cheap ~$10 shovel at Home Depot. I think I've got all the other essentials covered mostly.

I'm trying to plan to leave early Saturday to get there around 1200 and then stay till around 1500 hrs on Sunday.

 

[alexrex20]

4x4, right?

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Yessir. It does have some wimpy tires on it though, so until I can get a job and save up some dough, I'll have to be a little careful.

 

[Texan2]

Long drive just to stay 3 hours.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Whoops I meant 1500 hrs on Sunday. So I'll spend the night.
