First of all, thanks to everyone that voted in the polls and came up with ideas for the meet.
Here's the plan: What-The NW 6gc meet for 2009 When-July 25th and 26th Where-Astoria, OR. Camping at Fort Steven's State Park (just 20 minutes from Astoria) Why-To hang out with some cool people, save some money by camping, and enjoy the city of Astoria. Meet at: Astoria column (1500-2199 Coxcomb Dr. Astoria, Oregon 97103) Meet time: 12pm. That should give most people enouph time to get there without having to wake up really early. There is a $1 visitor fee to park at the Column, but I think it'll be well worth it. We can hang out there, snap some pics of the cars, and check out the Column for a bit. Who- Attending: 1.JustinCapps 2.96bluevert 3.Jay(gen5coosthunder) 4.Enrique 5. Black94GT Maybe: 1. ra65_22re 2. Rayneezy23 3. Legit94gt 4. Tin Foil 5. 95celicast 6.creis (no celica though) 7.bizzerk What to bring: -Celica of course (if you have one) -tent -sleeping bag -camp stove and any other camping equipment you might want/need. -camera, if you have one. -two-way radio (so we can communicate easier while driving) -food Since we don't know for sure how many people will be there, I think we will have to do a first-come first-served basis as far as the campgrounds. Here is what we will do: Meet up in Astoria. Maybe hang out in Astoria for a little while, then head over to the campgrounds to get checked in and set up camp. If anyone wants my cell # just in case something happens or you get lost for some reason, pm me!

Edited first post: Thinking about it, bring walkie talkies (sp) if you have them b/c that makes communicating while we are driving soo much easier and fun lol
also, I will send anyone who thinks they might want/need my cell # to them in a pm, just lmk. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Just wanted to say that I was just down in Oregon going to Seaside and realized that Fort Stevens was only like 10 minutes away so we went to check it out and for those who havent been there it was really cool.
It looks like a great place to stay and have the meet, there's lots to see, lots to explore... You all will have a great time --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

Yeah, from all I've heard, Astoria is pretty awesome.
Steve, that'd be really cool is you got the swap done by then. Let us know if you wind up wanting help. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

If you want a hand on the weekend sometime, I'ed be happy to help, Always wanted to swap a 3s in my celica but ended up passing on it.
Looking forward to the meet, I'm debating bringing my truck rather then the subi, can sleep in the back easy and there are some cool deep sand spots that would be sick to mob though since we've got it running pretty good. If I did take it would probalby take the subi too case it dies, its a wase from being reliable. --------------------  |

A truck would be good to pack everything in. But if it's that unreliable, I'd probably just bring the subie if you can get all you stuff to fit in there.

Haha that truck does look a bit sketchy, but it would kill on sand!

I'm sorry, I have to back out for next weekend, I've got one of my girls staying with me for a few weeks and the last thing she's gonna be interested in is a celica meet... too bad too, it's supposed to be 100º next weekend and I'll probably be @ the coast anyway! Anyhow, my car is running HORRIBLE all of a sudden and I'm not so sure I'd want to drive it more than 20 miles from home anyway
 Sorry guys... I was looking forward to it! --------------------  |
