San Diego but not really

Highlights from the Beach Camping trip this last weekend:

- At least a dozen students asked why we were taking I-10 instead of I-8 if we were going to San Diego.  “easy” I said, “because we’re not going to San Diego. We’re going to south LA.” The irony?  My caravan took the 8 :).

- A car of all guys from our caravan (which I won’t identify) somehow made it through border patrol not wearing any pants.

- Dustin and Bryce sumo-ing on the beach

- Richie and his bro Steven also sumo-ing in a Moreno throw-down

- Edwardo’s car breaking down at the meeting point before leaving and a group of guys pushing his car into a parking spot, with all the students staring asking themselves “…who’s going to have to ride in that car?”

- Asking the famous Scraw camping trip question to a tent full of freshman guys.

Statistics:

  • 80 People
  • 18 Cars
  • 792 gallons of gas consumed
  • 1 stingray attack
  • 2 blown tires
  • 8 vehicles that tried to find the beach by going east (needless to say, they got lost)
  • 11 hours of sleep
  • 14 hours on the beach
  • 18 hours of driving
  • 1000+ pictures and counting
  • 2 students who were really, really, really sunburnt.
