Looks like good time and good memories. Low tide is usually easy, just as you say. Beach is finicky. Low tides are usually not bad. But wind direction and other weather events can change water levels above tide predictions. Not trying to make this drive seem dramatic. It’s not at all. If a...

I tried the sprinkler thing after some mud runs. Everyone said it was the way to go. I was not impressed at all. Didn’t do much. But then again mud and sand different textures. Maybe I should try again. I know my truck spends most of its life on the beach and I accept the known outcome. Also...

Wilbah it was a good time for sure. As far as cleaning up after. I don’t know of anyway that is better than another. As you drive sand and salt are tossed up under truck. In places I didn’t even know were there and I have spent lots of time in, around and under my truck. HaHa. So I just grab...

Perfect night on PINS. No wind clear sky’s not too cold not too hot. Met a couple of folks from on here on way down. Good stuff.

I have a heavy old truck and usual drag my trailer, about 2500 pounds, behind it. I usually am at 12-15 psi. Truck and trailer. This last trip Tex68w with his big dodge and camper in the bed l, think he started at 25 and had no problems. Sure he will chime in and correct me on pressure if I’m...

Good write-up. It was good meeting y’all. Keep me in loop with Big Bend. Would like to make that trip for sure.

That’s close to damn cold. Well now I’m worried. Damn Ice chest may have over-served me so I may have a bit of memory loss. I can wait to read your trip report. Fill in the blanks. HaHaHa.

Had a great time meeting a few folks for here this past weekend. It was beatutiful weather for first week of December. I was to lazy to take pictures but the others took some great ones. Hope they post up some.

Well I'm back a day early. While cell doesn’t work too often. Inreach does unfortunatly and I had to return for work. Was interesting trip for sure. Left Thursday morning was a bit overcast but I knew it would be. Get to beach around 9, you know it’s going to be a good time when park has...

I finaly made it back from work in Louisiana late last night. Of course I have another job that came up. So I won’t be headed to PINS till Thursday morning. Low tide is at 754 so morning should be nice. Tex68w will have to see what next week brings. Let you know if I make it there again...

I always carry extra fuel. My rig doesn’t get good fuel mileage on city streets let alone off pavement. Soft sand really eats up fuel. But that’s all part of the planing. It’s a long way down and then back. Everything can change in a hurry. Extra food water fuel. Never hurts to have extra...

It’s good to be square. Is pic in sig yours? I have been looking for one with camper back for long while. The only one around here isn’t for sale, I’ve tried HaHa. I built mine to use. No mall crawl.

HaHa. Yes. Beach treasure is fun. And wondering what people were thinking when parking and leaving Trailer. Everyday is a new adventure for sure.

I was thinking back at all the trips I’ve taken down there. Only problem I had, people wise, was first time I was on beach stopped at about 8 miles down and set up camp. Jumped in truck and headed down beach to see what was down farther. Came back and camp was missing a few things. That was...

On the hump between footwells.

Most of time I’m ready to go back at drop of a hat. Let me know if you are up for a try when you are down in these parts again. I’ll go, but I always spend the night HaHa. So if you just going for day trip, your on your own getting back up beach. But it’s not really a big deal. 4x4 all good.

Ace brown toes in the sand away from civilization never a bad thing.

Perterra I haven’t heard of the one around 40. I will definitely go look around for it. But the sand is always shifting. Maybe hidden now or more showing. Would be a cool find. I know about treasure hill aka singer fortune. There are lots of stories pirate ships and ranchers burying there loot...

OK. On with the story. After getting camp setup and mixing a few drinks, we sat back and just enjoyed the quite and the view. Later in afternoon hopped in truck and went for a little ride. First headed south to the end at the port Mansfield jetties. There were about 10 vehicles there...

Copano fishing pier, both sides, were shut down last year when a section collapsed. No plans to reopen it. Was always a popular place. 1leglance I have always seen pictures of the beach’s down there. Look remote and quite. Maybe someday I can checkout that direction. Rest of story to follow...
