SaltDog Classic -- 09/12/15 at Torrey Pines State Beach and Reserve
Please remove my personal phone number from all saltDog Classic related posts. Take off the telephone #. Getting too much spam.

SaltDog Classic: Beach Festival -- 09/22/18 at 2526 South Coast Highway 101, Cardiff
**Party by the Beach at SaltDog Classic** Hit the beach hard at this year's SaltDog Classic. Music, Artists, Beer Gardens and Games. This beachside festival is too fun to pass up and yes folks, it's kid and dog friendly. Bring a leash.... for the dog not the toddler. Great music from local artists will be ringing across the salty shores, with plenty of sun to soak up, and tropical drinks to cool down. This year we will be teaming up with GrowlerHour to have a fine selection of local craft brews to get real hoppy. **Non-Profit:** All profits and silent auction bids at the SaltDog Classic will go to raise support and awareness for Rancho Coastal Humane Society. They are a local non-profit and registered 501(c)3 who helps make our community stronger through their commitment to kindness, making happy animals and happy homes. See more at
RanchoCoastalHumaneSociety.org
**Band Line-Up** SureFire Soul Ensemble ChugBoat Mestizo Beat Emily Afton WonderDogs SunDrenched **What to expect at the 2018 SaltDog Classic** A darn good hootnanny to sum it up. A bunch of friendly folks showing up to express themselves and rock the salty shore with live music, awesome vendor booths, and a custom Tiki bar pouring beer and tropical drinks. **Event Details** SaltDog Classic Beach Fest Seaside State Beach (2526 S Coast Hwy 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075) September 22nd, 11am - 6pm **VENDORS/SPONSORS** We can't thank our Vendors and Sponsors enough. These folks help make the whole thing turn into a festival. Thanks so much to each and every one. We are looking for more friends to join the list! - Growler Hour - John Stevens Plumbing - FACE Foundation - Pi Yoga Pants - YMI Creative Inc. - Granny Smith Sports - Rancho Coastal Humane Society - Lipsense by SeneGence - Coral Tree Farm - Sun Bum - Seven Apparel - Coral Tree Farm - CARDIFF Sunglasses **PARKING:** There is State Park PAID parking where the event will be held, and a number of FREE parking spots along the 101, and just south and up the hill by Roberto's. My personal favorite route is the walk down the stairs at Tabletops, and then north up to Seaside Reef. Kind of a local move. Ages 12 and under or 65 and up get in for FREE.

Thailand and back again
Agreed that these thoughts can emerge from an eye opening travel through Yellowstone as well. I am more the nature enthusiasts compared to a metropolitan one. This trip was one that put me out of my comfort zone at times. The perspective was driven more by the fact that entire regions of people were viewing the world from a seemingly less capitalistic standpoint. Luckily we spent time in the mountains of Pai where I was able to get back to my Sierra style hiking and relaxing.

Thailand and back again
A highly recommended journey to a land filled with intricate art and rich culture

Encinitas loses longtime restaurants
This was the one place I had left to go in Encinitas for a simple beach style bite to eat. Surfers are lost without you Kealanis. Whenever there is a smell of hot teriyaki, I will think of you, wherever I see the words 'chicken katsu' you will be with me. RIP my little Hawaiian bistro.

SaltDog Classic Beach Day Festival -- 09/23/17 at Seaside State Beach, 2526 S. Coast Highway 101, Solana Beach
Stoked to see another year come around for this festival. A completely community driven event with local bands and fun times. As a member of WonderDogs, the opening band, I can say we are personally ready for a hoot and holler. Live music on the beach is where it's at.

SaltDog Classic: Beach Festival -- 09/22/18 at 2526 South Coast Highway 101, Cardiff
**Party by the Beach at SaltDog Classic** Hit the beach hard at this year's SaltDog Classic. Music, Artists, Beer Gardens and Games. This beachside festival is too fun to pass up and yes folks, it's kid and dog friendly. Bring a leash.... for the dog not the toddler. Great music from local artists will be ringing across the salty shores, with plenty of sun to soak up, and tropical drinks to cool down. This year we will be teaming up with GrowlerHour to have a fine selection of local craft brews to get real hoppy. **Non-Profit:** All profits and silent auction bids at the SaltDog Classic will go to raise support and awareness for Rancho Coastal Humane Society. They are a local non-profit and registered 501(c)3 who helps make our community stronger through their commitment to kindness, making happy animals and happy homes. See more at RanchoCoastalHumaneSociety.org **Band Line-Up** SureFire Soul Ensemble ChugBoat Mestizo Beat Emily Afton WonderDogs SunDrenched **What to expect at the 2018 SaltDog Classic** A darn good hootnanny to sum it up. A bunch of friendly folks showing up to express themselves and rock the salty shore with live music, awesome vendor booths, and a custom Tiki bar pouring beer and tropical drinks. **Event Details** SaltDog Classic Beach Fest Seaside State Beach (2526 S Coast Hwy 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075) September 22nd, 11am - 6pm **VENDORS/SPONSORS** We can't thank our Vendors and Sponsors enough. These folks help make the whole thing turn into a festival. Thanks so much to each and every one. We are looking for more friends to join the list! - Growler Hour - John Stevens Plumbing - FACE Foundation - Pi Yoga Pants - YMI Creative Inc. - Granny Smith Sports - Rancho Coastal Humane Society - Lipsense by SeneGence - Coral Tree Farm - Sun Bum - Seven Apparel - Coral Tree Farm - CARDIFF Sunglasses **PARKING:** There is State Park PAID parking where the event will be held, and a number of FREE parking spots along the 101, and just south and up the hill by Roberto's. My personal favorite route is the walk down the stairs at Tabletops, and then north up to Seaside Reef. Kind of a local move. Ages 12 and under or 65 and up get in for FREE.

Thailand and back again
Agreed that these thoughts can emerge from an eye opening travel through Yellowstone as well. I am more the nature enthusiasts compared to a metropolitan one. This trip was one that put me out of my comfort zone at times. The perspective was driven more by the fact that entire regions of people were viewing the world from a seemingly less capitalistic standpoint. Luckily we spent time in the mountains of Pai where I was able to get back to my Sierra style hiking and relaxing.— January 22, 2018 11:55 a.m.
Thailand and back again

Encinitas loses longtime restaurants
This was the one place I had left to go in Encinitas for a simple beach style bite to eat. Surfers are lost without you Kealanis. Whenever there is a smell of hot teriyaki, I will think of you, wherever I see the words 'chicken katsu' you will be with me. RIP my little Hawaiian bistro.— August 10, 2017 3:39 p.m.
SaltDog Classic Beach Day Festival -- 09/23/17 at Seaside State Beach, 2526 S. Coast Highway 101, Solana Beach
Stoked to see another year come around for this festival. A completely community driven event with local bands and fun times. As a member of WonderDogs, the opening band, I can say we are personally ready for a hoot and holler. Live music on the beach is where it's at.— August 7, 2017 3:17 p.m.
