I've always liked the beach. I've always liked the sand. And I've always liked adventure. So it was only fitting that for my next New Thing to do would to go ATVing on the sand dunes at Pismo Beach. It's always been something that I've wanted to do and this was the perfect excuse to do it. And thus a spur of the moment weekend trip down to SLO was born.
Now there are a lot of places to rent ATVs from down at Pismo. Yelp was pretty helpful and I ended up choosing Arnies ATV rentals which was located right at the entrance of the sand dunes. With the swipe of a credit card and a signature on a couple of pieces of paper, I was ready to conquer the dunes. The weather was Goldilocks - not too hot and not too cold. After a crash course (pun definitely intended) on how to drive the ATV, I was ready to go.

After about two hours of driving around on the sand dunes, I was ready to call it a day. It was hot and I was thirsty. The wind was picking up and my contacts were sandier the Sahara Desert. But it was so worth it. I'll definitely be back to have another go at the sandy dunes.
