Northwest meet- See new thread, now set for Oct, Close this please Options

[Legit94GT]

So I think its time we get one good Portland area meet in before the rain starts up again.

When: Sept 21th. Meet around 11am-12pm? untill 3 or 4 pm?

Where: Meet in the Cascade Station(Ikea/Best Buy) parking lot, since it is really close to all the freeways, and food places for lunch. After lunch we would drive East up towards Corbett out to Crown Point(aka The Vista House) then take the old high way out to Multnomah Falls...

Its a very pretty drive with great locations for photo shoots. See the third page for pictures of where we would be going

Please feel free to add or subtract any ideas, or times and dates in regards to the meet. Just cause I posted this first doesn't mean my word is rule

EDIT: Changed the date to the 21st as the 13th wasnt working for anyone...

Bump...

Would changing the date work for more people?

[96bluevert]

That's a little bit far for me for just a 3 or 4 hour meet.

[GriffGirl]

^LOL!!!! It's fine for us down here if the meet is in Tacoma but now it's a little far, huh? LOL

I'd be down for the 13th. As long as lunch isn't at the Hooter's over by there. I'm so not down for stupid Hooters. Plus everything there is fried, and I'm not looking to find the twenty pounds I've lost since our last meet.

[96bluevert]

^LOL!!!! It's fine for us down here if the meet is in Tacoma but now it's a little far, huh? LOL

The Tacoma meet was a little longer than a few hours iirc...I mean I'm down for a meet in Portland so long as it's planned far enouph ahead of time and we can make a fair amount of the day out of it

[GriffGirl]

Fair enough!

(I think the Taco meet was longer because the service was so damn slow at stupid Hooter's. But that waitress was cute at least.)

true story

Well the tacoma meet took all day for me and griff cause cause we had to do 2.5 hours of driving each way, so dont worry regardless of how much time we spend doing the actually meet, it'll still be most of your saturday, if you do drive all the way down

3-4 hours at least.

Meet up - 30 minutes
Lunch(at Red Robin?) - 1hr
Driving to Rocky Butte - 20 minutes *** optional
Photo shoot there - 20 minutes *** optional
Driving out to Crown Point - 45 minutes from Red Robin: 1hr from Rocky Butte***
Photo Shoot there - 20 minutes
Driving to the Multnomah Falls - 20 minutes
Photo Shoot there - 20 minutes
Hanging out at the falls, going up the path - X minutes

So if we dont go up to Rocky Butte, it'd probablly be about 3.5 hours or longer.
If we add Rocky Butte to the list it'd end up being right around 5 hours...

So that was just kinda a rough guestament of times, and locations... I am ok with having a longer meet, but i am not sure everyone else will be up for it Vert, but i totally get where you are coming from though.

Thoughts, concerns, questions?

no, I know people got lives outside of this community and all. Just saying, it's a 3 hr drive for me to Portland each way, so I want to make the best of it...btw, is it still happening the 13th, or is it going to be bumped a weekend or two. If it's the 13th, I'm already out.

ya i know what you mean man, i made the drive to tacoma as well...

Um... it could get bumped if the majority of people wanted to get it bumped for like the 27th... i am kinda leaving that up to the group.. but right now it looks like the group is three people

[96bluevert]

Well the 13th isn't very far, so you can expect alot less people than if it were to be at a little later date. Whichever you all decide, I'll try to make it if I can (if it's moved).

[97lestyousay]

I apparently can't read a calendar. I have my kids that weekend, the following
weekend you originally suggested works for me but only on sunday. I didn't realize
football was going to start and I don't miss my kids games ever.

[sawny]

i would come but i need a new radiator. i dont even wana risk driving it, but its my only transport to school.

so whenever i get my radiator replaced im down for a meet.

Ouch that sucks, i had to do that with my old Stratus for awhile, U-pull it should have used radiators for like 60 bucks or something, but if you go that route make sure they compression check, like make them show you papers on it. OR just bite the bullet and go spend 300 bucks on a new one:/


97letyousay Bluevert 96

So the weekend of the 20th would work for both of you?
Like i've said, i wanted this to be a discussion... i am getting that the 13th wont work for you two....

I am down for a meet on the 20th... Griff??

[96bluevert]

21st or weekend of 27/28th are the only weekend days this month that really work for me

[97lestyousay]

Whatever the sunday is I assume the 21st. That is about all that works for me.
I am wintering the car shortly after.

[GriffGirl]

21st should be alright for me

[Legit94GT]

The 21st works for me as well......

Also, we need a definate time and place!....And do the Washingtonians want to meet up and cruise down there?

[Legit94GT]

Ok. here we go.

Meet in the parking lot behind Red Robin at the "new" Cascade Station at 12.

Cascade Station is located off of Airport way, heading towards the airport.

As far as where we are going... i got two places for sure that we have to go to(crown point, multnomah falls)... depending on what you guys want, i can add a third to the list, but that is up to you guys, i dont care either way. Just speak up and say what you want, adding a third stop will add about another hour to the whole thing...

[97lestyousay]

And do the Washingtonians want to meet up and cruise down there?

Seattle is only about 150 mi out of the way, so very unlikely for me.

Well we don't have to meet in Seattle, just somewhere on the way to Portland would be cool, otherwise I'm driving for 3hrs by myself probably

[97lestyousay]

I will take 82 south, then 84 west so really
I won't even be close to the way you are heading.
Hopefully we can get a few more people from WA.

[96bluevert]

Alright, that cool, it was just an idea.

Hopefully we can get a few more people from WA.

Yeah, let's hope so.

[96bluevert]

So...

Sept 21st
Cascade Station
11am

...? This the final plan then?

[GriffGirl]

Unless something catastrophic happens in the process of putting on my struts and springs that previous Friday, I'm game for meeting up that Sunday.

That is awesome. I am going to make some flyers and stick them on some celi's i always drive by:)

I know there is more people out here than just me and griff, why arent you guys responding?

[Lazurus]

I will do my best to finally make it to a meet. Right now I already know I am working that day but will do my best to make it swing/grave on that day. I may bring a friend to drive my car as I might be really tired from not sleeping. So as of right now I would say that I am 80/20 on attending.

[Coomer]

If I manage to get my motor in my car by then, then I'm down to go. The last Northwest meet was a blast.

[96bluevert]

You bringing the Del Sol?

[97lestyousay]

I am pretty much all in as well, it may take a couple quarts of oil but I am there.
The Multnomah falls Idea I am not sure I understand I havent been for a long while
but I don't remember any parking that would give a good shot of the cars and falls.

[CelicaBuddy]

Hmmm... Probably not doing anything on the actual day...
Portland's quite the drive for me though... I generally like to stay fairly local when it comes to these kinda things...
But I'll keep it in mind and think on it...

Right off the freeway there is that big parking lot, i cant remember if it would work for photos though:( BUT the drive there is amazing, and the falls are awesome as well even if we cant get a shot with our celi's in front of it

PS my car will look different by the time of the meet;) nothing real fancy but different:)

[Enrique]

I'm in...... but how about the 27th or 28th?

Thanks for the PM. I'm not on the site much any more. I'll look into trying to make it. If I do show, you all might have to put up with me on a crotch rocket. Haven't even had the Celi insured now for almost six months. =[

[nik]

too far for me

[97lestyousay]

I am going to have to cancel if we don't get more interest, I would like to meet you guys but a 4 hr
drive for 3 6gcs is not sounding too appealing atm. My car is drinking oil about a qt every 500 miles
I really don't want to be 220 miles from home when it goes kaboom.

Pretty damn sad I trust my corolla with 200,000 miles toasted cv joints and gears 1,2,and5
more than the celi with barely over 100,000.

[ra65_22re]

Sounds fun and since i'll be at toyota fest on the 20th my car should still be washed and somewhat nice lookin. so it def on the 21st of this month?

[GriffGirl]

Yep, looks that way

[97lestyousay]

Don't count me out just yet but I would really like to see more cars.

[CelicaBuddy]

Crap...
A few things have suddenly popped up, work suddenly changed my schedule around, I work on Saturdays now, but because of that it kills time I usually had on weekends with my best friend (she was the one who actually tagged along with me at the last meet if some remember), but she's actually deploying to Iraq VERY soon. That Sunday is basically one of the last weekends I have with her before she goes off for a year... And unfortunately, I only see her on weekends...
So I dont know...

My thinking was pretty similar to 97lestyousay though, if there's a good turnout, my chances are higher. But now that this came to my attention I have no idea what my plans are.

[RocketScott]

Can't make it to this one. I'm bummed too. I finally fixed my fender and did a few other small things to the car.

I can make it if it gets pushed back a week to the 28th. Don't change plans just for me though.

[brthrurik]

thanks 4 pm... unfortunately I'm gonna be at the journey, heart & cheap trick show....

totally understandable you guys, i wouldnt want to drive all that way for three cars either...

I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens

I put a 6gc flyer under the windshield wiper of a celica yesterday:) But i have never seen the car move, and it still had dead pine needles on it from like last year:( not sure if they even drive it, but oh well... I got one more 6gen to tag right no my street:)

[Enrique]

can't make it...........sorry, I have to work that weekend

[Legit94GT]

Rocky Butte



Crown Point





The old highway




Multnomah falls


Just thought you guys might want to see where it is we are going:) hopefully that helps:)

[97lestyousay]

Nice pics, the shot from crown point is sick, if all the cars were 6gcs it would be unreal.
I remember amysmojo had a few shots from up there, thats a great location.

[Legit94GT]

Ya it really is the perfect spot, there is like 8 spots right next to each other that would be amazing to get all the celi's in...

Rocky butte has some pretty good potential too:)

[GriffGirl]

I'm putting myself back in the "maybe" group - I was pretty sure the other plans I had this weekend were going to fall through, but it looks like they're still on. Who knows though, it could go either way.

Is there a better weekend for people? Looks like quite a few are iffy at best. Maybe some time in October? We might be able to squeeze it in before the rain comes!

[96bluevert]

I didn't have time to request time off from work, so we will see by Wed or Thurs weather I can make it...Like I said before, if there's alot of time between the offical meet posted and the actual meet, you will see more people that can actually make it to a meet. So I think mid Oct would still be fine if that's something you guys want to do...

[Enrique]

mid Oct would be perfect for me...that would give me time to get time off work......

[97lestyousay]

It would also work better for me.

[Legit94GT]

So then mid october??

i'll wait to see a few more NO's here then i'll make another new thread...

again...

[Legit94GT]

Making a new thread picking a date in october...

To bad i have to go wait at the parking lot anyway cause i already passed out flyers on some local 6gens with the time and date on it for the 21st:(
