THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
* Drinking excessively and driving is strictly prohibited (CA laws on drunk driving apply on the beach)
* ...so is drinking excessively and becoming a liability to the rest of the group
* No shooting firearms
* Watch out for your fellow FJers...everywhere - on the dunes, in town, in the water, etc.
* Newbies on the dunes...be sure you know what you are getting into. Ride jumpseat in a more experienced driver's rig before trying things out on your own!
* Do not speed over uncontrolled, unobserved dunes - know what's on the other side before jumping or speeding over dunes
* Deflating your tires is highly recommended (air stations are available on the beach and at the gas stations in town)
* Dogs must be on a leash at all times - Informative post can be found here on the SoCal FJ Cruiser Forum.
* Please use the restrooms or PETT toilets - digging holes is not an option unless you don't mind your own kid or family member burying themselves in sand and finding a nice surprise.
* Do not litter, bury bottles in the sand or place bottles into the fire
* Abide by the speed limit while driving on the beach - you will be ticketed if you go over it
* Be respectful when playing music loud - not everyone likes your music. No loud, amplified music late at night.
* Do not do anything that will have serious repercussions on the entire group. Remember, you are representing the off-road community.
* Common sense is your friend
* Violating any of these tips could result in partial/full expulsion from all future trail runs and/or major NorCal/SoCal/AllCal events
* Have fun!

bringing posts are good, but i think we may have enough if Bozly brings his.

i think we are good on stoves and grills. SoCal will be cooking with us, but will most likely bring some of their own equipment. Bobo/Munkay, can you confirm?

i hope to have the setup diagram available for review tonight. good to know we'll have two Taj Mahals. i'll update the OP later this evening.

we are advising everyone in socal to bring cooking utensils and equipment......and mentioning that the Taj will be central kitchen/bar for those wanting to use it and share their food and festivities.

we quite honestly, dont have it together like you guys do.....we are tag alongs......but we are fun tag alongs.....hee hee hee

heehhmmm. what else you got? Is anyone needing to use the screen house tent, regular tent (fit 6) other tent (fit 2) or the round folding table? Don't want to bring anything if no one want to use it. Other wise I'll go there just with my spongebob slippers on, have my blender next to me and ready fo roll. lol.
