Frequently when I drive along the beach in El Segundo (Los Angeles, CA), I
see people around fires on the beach. This is the only beach in the area
where I have seen fires on the beach. I'm wondering whether anyone has done a
pit firing on the beach in El Segundo (as the planes take off overhead from
LAX). If so, could you fill me in on the details - whether you need
permission, whether you need reservations,etc. ?

Is there anyone in the LA area interesting in having a pit fire on the beach
in El Segundo? I am willing to explore the possibility of doing so if a
couple of other ClayBuds would do the pit firing with me. Because of my
work/travel schedule, I would have to do the pit firing on Friday night.
