It had been about 10 years since I had been to Oceano, so it was a good time to go back and try an ATV. I got lucky with timing because they had just re-opened a few days earlier as there was a river crossing the beach that had way too much water courtesy of the very rainy season.
The flight down the coast was scenic as always
ATVs waiting for customers :)
Oceano is a small runway, but not an issue for a 182:
After signing up paperwork and getting a ride to were the ATVs are parked, it was time to have fun again
I took the briefing seriously and made sure not to flip by going sideways up or down. I did ok overall:
the dunes can be challenging, definitely easy to get hurt if you're doing it wrong
and sure enough, someone did
didn't look good, many vehicles went there and were still there 30mn later :(
