Couple weeks ago I had a personal best helping dig out 3 people in a row

..... using the small shovel and rubber mats that I always carry. I would not of been able to park my truck otherwise.

that IS amusing, thanks.

This sport has a great community of fishermen. Good job on helping out.

In 2wd and way early, air down to 10 lbs tire pressure if you are 2wd and see it is soft, or realize that sand driving is really about momentum....which doesnt work when the tourists and lifeguards are around

airing up after a day of fishing sucks....but it sucks less than being that guy.

The sand has been really soft lately. I have needed to use 4WD on my last couple trips.

Bummer of a morning. I decided to not even try the sand with my mini-van. I park it and use the yak-cart and hoof it along the sidewalk.

One thing you may want to consider if you are consistently driving onto the beach is to buy a GOOD tow strap(meaning sewed ends, not metal hooks as they can become dangerous projectiles) available many places on line or at Off Road warehouse. Then when you are stuck you can have it out and ready and I wont have to get mine out, sandy and wet. I have never turned down towing someone out of a situation unless they have no tow points, but I really appreciate someone who is prepared!
