There are still 435 spots left (out of 1000). That's quite a few left, but they will sell out for sure same as they do for every holiday weekend.

I recommend purchasing your pass for Pismo soon. You'll need to purchase one per vehicle (not per person or per tent).

Yes unless someone has any major reservations about camping there and wheeling elsewhere during the day.

I plotted the key waypoints for the Pine Mtn & Garcia Ridge trails into my gps. I then exported it below for those who're running a garmin gps.

For those who just want to read the data off of it, the format is as follows...
Waypoint,D,TrailName, deg,min, date, time, description.

Obviously the time/date info is not relevant but is necessary for the import format garmin uses.

To import this, simply copy and paste it into a text document and use the garmin import feature to import it in.

I can also export it for most other topo/hiking gps' (not street navigation devices). Let me know if you need it for a delorme or some other gps system. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

UPDATE : ANY TAKERS ON MY RESERVATIONS ??

I just found out last night that my fiancee had a whole 4 day trip planned out for us and that I didn't realize that it was Valentine's day (DUH! I'm a guy), so...

Reservation America wants $7 for me to cancel, or anybody here wants to right now, don't have to hassle with setting up an account, I'll just sell you my spot.

I posted info above but here it is again...





Any takers? If so, I'll just send you the pass.

Monte, IÆll buy the pass from you, this will be my first outing with the wire.

I've never been to Pismo and my understanding from there web site is that every car needs a pass and your assign a camp spot when you get there. I plan on towing my raider would I need an additional reservation for the second vehicle? Will some one be there holding spots for the group? Since I would get there after 9:00 pm on Friday and wouldnÆt want to end up all by myself away from the group.

Thanks,

Nick
