Oregon Meet? Options

[coosthunder]

Would anyone be interested in an oregon celi meet. I dont own a 6th gen but im really trying to get a nicely established celi meet here in oregon that i want to do annually. Let me know if your interested and where your located so i can try to pick a central location that is easy for everyone to get to.

[JustinCapps]

what part of oregon?, i live in wa. and i want to start something such like this..
most likely im down!

[coosthunder]

Well thats just it im trying to find a good central location to meet up so we can have alot of people show up.

[96bluevert]

If your looking for a good turn out, I'd suggest somewhere a little more north so some of us WA members can meet up too... I think Tacoma was a great place to meet last year, but anywhere N. OR or S. WA would be your best bet imo.

[coosthunder]

Thats in general what i had in mind. I need to find a suitable place/ parking lot as well.

[ra65_22re]

Get with Legit94GT he had some good places planned out for a meet last year just didnt go through. I would deff try to make it if i have that day off.

[GriffGirl]

Yeah Tacoma was a good place because it's spitting distance from Seattle! LOL

I'm game too... but let's do it when the weather is (consistently) better IMO. Personally however I think the coast would be a great location! Maybe Astoria? That's more North for you WA folk! IDK

[96bluevert]

^ I like the Astoria idea..havn't been there for soo long, it'd be cool to go again.

[coosthunder]

kewl guys those are some great ideas. I want to host the meet this summer when the weather is clear and hot. Hot cars, hot girl, some good lookin fellas cruzin their celis around. I dont think anything sounds better then that aside from HIN. Im definatly going this year in seattle would be cool to see some of you guys there or organize a meet there the night after HIN.

[95CelicaST]

Logic says Battleground, WA.

[terbear4god4life]

too far for me

[Legit94GT]

Tacoma is not the best place to get anyone from orgeon to show up. me and griff were the only two who drove up there last time.

good luck trying to get this together, I have tried to get meets together around vancouver, portland area before and everyone bailed... Astoria doesn't sound to bad...

[97lestyousay]

The biggest problem is celicas per square mile, the northwest is big and the amount
of cars are limited, to get 10 cars at a meet chances are 5 are going to have a 3 hr
or more drive one way. I am 3 1/2 from seattle and 4 from portland so one day meets
are not so much fun, 7 or 8 hrs driving for a few hour meet kind of kills it for me.

[96bluevert]

^ That's true, cause we have members ALL over WA and OR. There aren't a majority of people in one area, it's spread widely throughout both states. What's a convenient 1/2 hour drive for 1 or 2 people will be a few+ hrs for many others.

[ra65_22re]

how bout doin a whole weekend meet? get a few hotel rooms somwhere nice. that way it shouldnt feel like a waste of time driving for 3 hrs one way if your staying overnite.

[96bluevert]

Like the EC6gc members do...I like that idea.

[coosthunder]

Thats a great idea! I also agree on the whole driving thing portland alone is like 4 hours from me one way.

[GriffGirl]

I think that's a great idea too! I vote for somewhere on the coast still - staying at a hotel inland is lame! But a weekend at the beach would be great. And for those of you w/significant others, it's a great excuse to get them to come along so they're not upset about yet another weekend lost to our car obsession.

[coosthunder]

That is exactly why i love the coast i literaly live 15 minutes if not shorter from the beach depending on traffic lol. The beach here is simply magnificent, stunningly beautiful. for those of you with myspace here is a link to my profile. Its set to public so feel free to look around i have plenty of pictures of the beach myself and of course my serika!

A beach trip sounds like alot fun

[mmmchocolate]

hey im from idaho and i would want to go to the coast! i would highly consider making the 7-8 hour trip, and thats making time.

[ra65_22re]

Sounds great now we just need a date. and if we are making this kind of an over the weekend thing maybe a few motels that are local maybe a few bars aswell lol this just may be a fun time as long as it doesnt rain.

lol its always raining! haha
but i do agree about the date, we need to do this! and place. ill start looking into nice places for cruisin and pics!

[96bluevert]

If you guys want to be on the coast, one place I always enjoy to go to is Ocean Shores...Just outside of the town, there are alot of nice twisty and wide open roads. It's a small town, but pretty nice. They even have a go-cart track.

As for a date, I think it should be a weekend in June/July/August (summer) because there are better chances for nice weather.

That would be alot of fun i dont think i have ever been there. so id need some help getting it organized summer sounds like a plan to me. I would say we could do it here and i could show you guys all my favorite roads and photo opps we have the casino here and plenty of bars lol for those of us whom are 21 or older there is also cheap hotels here and most everything is right off the main drag. I think the go cart thing would be alot of fun though.

Not sure where in idaho you live but its a 7-8 hour drive just to Portland(make the trek more tha half a dozen times) and then another hour to 2 hours to the beach depending on which coast we go to... Just so ya know

Ok so lets start to work out details what month do we want to hold this meet do we want to do a one day meet or make a weekend of it? Maybe we should make a poll so we can let everyone decide. Im sure i could snag some guys from newcelica.org too.

[96bluevert]

Yeah, you can do a multiple question poll at the top of this thread.

[coosthunder]

Yeah, you can do a multiple question poll at the top of this thread.

Ok so we need questions

prefered month
day or weekend meet
gokarts or no gokarts

can anyone think of any other questions?

[96bluevert]

I think

1. prefered month (choices being: May, June, July, August, September)
2. how many days (choices: 1,2,3) because we could do a 1 day meet, a Sat and Sunday meet or a Friday,Sat, Sunday meet
3. prefered place (choices: Ocean Shores, some other place, some other place....I can't think of anywhere else that'd be good right now lol, but I know there are other ideas floating around in this thread for a place)

There is definately more to do at Ocean Shores than just the go-karts...ATVs, arcade (I know, sort of kiddish), you can rent mopeds, bikes and I think motorcycles. But don't quote me on that last one. Of course just cruising around (with the coast right by you most of the time).
