Is 4WD an absolute necessity for Pismo? Or could a carefully-driven 2WD/locker setup on aired-down 285's romp around a bit on the dunes and make its way to your envisioned meetup?

My van is 2wd, locked, on 285's. I just air down straight to 8-10psi from the get go and it does fine. If you've got some sand driving experience, 2wd is fine. I go all over the dunes only avoiding bowls and sharp climbs.
That being said... even an aired down 4wd can bury itself if the driver isn't compotent.
Either way, there's never a shortage of people willing to help out if someone gets stuck.

Looks like rain is in the forecast next weekend. But the forecast will change I'm sure.

I saw that too, that just means extra traction, right?! What do you guys think, rain or shine? Skip the bonfire and just go for a group drive through the dunes? I'm game regardless of weather.

I'm also game regardless of weather, however I can't get there until about 2:30. I'll be bringing some wood for a fire and deploying the awning if necessary
