Guys !! please do not drive on the sand on the beaches - Las Ceuvas area have turtle nesting sites, driving on the sand will compress the sand over the nesting areas and kill the hatch-lings.

Sound good. I'm certain that the group is environmentally aware of our turtles behaviours and nesting season after our informative time up Matlot. So we will save the sand fun for the off season.

yeah smeed yuh can bring the family along, its a small run, and most of the guys are familiar with cuevas, so giving the sand stage a chance will be no hassle, we will take it out on the mud!!!

^^^ this!!!
PLEASE NO DRIVING ON THE SAND IN LAS CUEVAS. TURTLES ARE CURRENTLY NESTING. ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO DRIVE ON THE SAND DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK OF BEING PENALIZED BY THE LAWS OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO!!
Bathing your truck in the mud on the trail however, is greatly encouraged ... 
Don't forget the essentials!!
- recovery gear/straps/shackles
- First Aid Kit
- Necessary medications
- Sunscreen & insect repellant
- Food and drinks for de lime!!
- Charge your batteries for your cellphone and digital cameras
- stuff to bathe (the beach right there!!)
- don't forget your vehicle checks - oil, tire pressure, belts, battery, etc, etc.

we will take it out on the mud!!!
even on d mud we should exercise caution so as no to excessively damage d terrain.
e.g. through Lopinot, Cyril an dem guys put plenty effort in repairing the hill by filling up the drains cut by d water in order to access their concerns.
an those who frequent cuevas know that u cant c under d water, but the regulars have a good idea of the terrain, pls lets try not to develop a new surprise obstacle course.
