decon Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I was messing around on Dune Guide looking at closed areas in the U.S., ran across this page with some history on the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes which is now known as Oceano Dunes (Pismo Beach). They closed a large section of the dunes in 1982, the size went from 15,000 acres to 1,500. Kind of sucks that they would close off all that land, i blame the tree huggers . Im always interested in the past so if your from the west coast and visit pismo, or even from the east coast, check out what most of us have missed. Pismo is now officially a small sandbox compared to what it once was... http://www.duneguide.com/closed_areas_guadalupe_dunes.htm Ariel Shots of the Dunes - http://www.californiacoastline.org/cgi-bin/image.cgi?image=8909137&mode=sequential&flags=0&year=1989 Google Maps - http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=34.934127,-120.658765&spn=0.006878,0.01281&t=k&om=1 Here is a website below with some info on pismo in it's early days and post 1982, click to see the full write up. http://www.bob2000.com/pismo A Few pictures courtesy of DuneGuide.com and Bob2000.com The FAR end of pismo beach Devil's Slide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfobasheeboy Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yes I have look at all these pic before & wish it could be re-opened up. There is a lot of sand to play on out there just sitting. The tree hugers say they just want to save the land for the future for kids & people to see. WELL how in the hell are they going to get out there to SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CALL BULL SHIT. open it back up & let ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I hear you man, I feel the same way. A large section of the dunes have been covered by vegetation, but the dunes at the far end of the beach are untouched. From what I gather, some of the dunes are private property and the rest are a "wildlife refuge". I really wonder what it would take for them to open it back up, however they do open up another 1,500 acres during sept-may but that's still nothing compared to the large section they closed off.
