Sometimes the best puns come naturally! It's telling just how much this stuff is in our blood for me to come up with words like that and you get a chuckle from it Jeff.

I've created a monster now. My wife has a best friend scheming to join us. She found that there is wine country there too, so it looks good for us to get to come and also, the buddy system takes some husband pressure off me to get to kite and hang out with the crew.

Bob, Morrie is correct Aug 30 thru Sept 7. MeatDriver is also right about the first weekend being the busy one. Looking forward to seeing you.

I'm really excited to get a chance to ride with you guys on your famous beach. It's looking like I'll drive up to get me and the gear there with my wife flying in a day later. The costs go way down compared to shipping kites and buggy 2 ways along with a rental car. Driving also lets me bring all the kites instead of guessing about what I'll need. I can also bring both sets of wheels if the discs prove too narrow. I don't have bigfoots so I'll not be in the dunes in any case. Maybe I can borrow a short ride in someone elses big boy buggy to play in the soft stuff.

This will be the second time I've gone to a kite event for my anniversary. It will require some balance between husband and buggy time but I think it will work out well.

How should I plan for food? I will be in a hotel I'm certain, but don't want to miss any big group meals on the beach.

Bringing kites for all wind ranges is a must out here! As far as the food goes.... all the group meals take place @ buggy camp, 5 minutes from the beach. Dinner meals on friday, saturday and sunday nights for sure and most often a bacon&egg breakfast the following morning. Was talking with Eli about maybe getting a double burner down to the beach for an afternoon bite, but we'll see.

What ever Morrie say goes, as long as it has nothing to with potato launchers! Camp is already prepped. Worked all day stacking up tents ect. Phil is looking forward as well...got the verbal "Go Ahead" today!

MeatDriver has hit it right on the head! This fall we will be enjoying a few meals "A La Plage!"!

Spring Camp was awesome...Fall Camp probably will be too!

Seems like it is a grassy place where a friend let the kiters camp and there is a porta potty set up. Small donations are encouraged. Clarification will be along shortly if I've gotten details wrong.

Bobby that seems to be what I am hearing as well. Seems it will just be me at the buggy blowout. Sandy will be at her Aunts.
I will be coming in by bus that drops off at the Seaside Cheveron Station at 8pm. As I am not a tactful man I will ask right out. Any one want to give me a ride? I promise not to smell to bad or swear to much. I may look disheveled but you'll all get used to that! If this is being to needy let me know.

Dave.

Good to hear you have your butt back in the buggy Dave.

If you let us know what days you will be free to go to SOBB another option may be to catch a ride with one of us Canadians ? We pass right by Bellingham. It is too early for me to confirm when I am headed down and back. Most likely I will head down Friday. Aug. 28 and home Monday Sept. 1 but it is too early to tell. Hope to stay a few more days. If your days line up with when I am there you can be sure I'll pick you up and drop you off at least.

You won't need much for camping gear. Eli and Sean have a great kitchen set-up under some event type tents. I can bring down an extra lawn chair for you. Even if I have to leave it for you, one of the Kenadians will bring it back up for me. Mostly you just need a tent and sleeping gear. I already know that showering isn't so important to you but I can drive you to KOA just in case .

It will be great to meet you again and this time we can get out and ride together!

Sean... I really want to be there to shoot spuds now. I have made so many spud guns in my youth. My father and I used to make and sell them. We had it down to a science. Are you a fan of the 2" or 1.5" barrel? 2" is more fun, but 1.5" is more accurate and you get two shots per spud. We also had a softball gun that got about 600' shots. It shot a four foot blue flame out which looked awesome at night.

I have another question in a line that I am sure will reach a great distance before I am done!
Because we (Sandy and I) are arriving at different times and she needs to find her way there. We are hoping to get an address for the Buggy camp and or beach name where the event is being held.
Thank you, Dave.

I believe the address at buggy camp is....

89255 Dellmoor Loop
Warrenton, OR 97146

46°04'06.7"N 123°54'28.6"W

And the beach...

My best guess on lat and long....

46°06'49.2"N 123°56'52.5"W

Basically, you would turn down Sunset Beach Rd, drive onto the sand and take a right. Drive until you see kites or windsocks, buggies etc.

Think we were using a 1.5" barrel. Gonna have to ask Eli. We were only getting one shot per spud. We were carving our own loads and experimenting with various types of spud rounds.
Hollow point, sabot, etc.

Did you know a cyalume stick can reach approx 300 vertical feet!
