The last time we had a meet was Jan 2011. It would be nice to get together sometime again. A small BBQ and a photo shoot would be nice.

[ILoveMySilly97]

I'd be interested in a bay area meet.

[Nemises]

[83841]

[ILoveMySilly97]

Lets do it mid or late July.

[Nemises]

[ILoveMySilly97]

I'm thinking we should head to the santa cruz beach area. Would be some nice scenery.

Good idea! I am thinking of taking hwy 9 instead of hwy 17 so we can have a nice run in the mountains then go BBQ on the beach or something.

I only been to the bay area once and it was to get my bros Integra. Lol. So i dont know anything about the bay area. I would like a cruise in the mountains and get some video and rolling shots. Would be a fun day.

[nics]

Ok let us put down a list of people that are interested on the meet and the location so we can plan a rendezvous, drive to Santa Cruz, BBQ then chill at the beach.

1. nics - milpitas/fremont

Mid July would be good. I will be on out of town from June 29 till July 7. Traffic would be bad since people would have like 4 day weekend.

[ILoveMySilly97]

Anytime in Mid-Late July except the 13th&14th because I am a Navy weekend warrior and I have to do my weekend thing that weekend. Lol. I say we do it on the 20th of July. It's a Saturday and Saturday are always convenient to go out and do something but then again there'll be a lot of people at the beach because everyones out for summer vacation.

I say its best to go with either:
Wednesday(July17th, Just so there'll be less people and more parking space for us at the beach)
Saturday(July 20th, Weekends are the days people will most likely be off work so they can show up to the meet.)

[Nemises]

I say meet up at a food market or a gas station so everyone can gas up if needed.

[nics]

So is it final that we are going to cruise to santa cruz and do a beach bbq?

Any more ideas?

[ILoveMySilly97]

For the cruise. We'll need someone who knows the place well. So we won't get lost or go to some bumpy pot hole roads. Lol.

[83841]

Highway 1

[nics]

Highway 1

Too traffic

[dluna17]

I think it would be best to find a starting point to find the best route

[ILoveMySilly97]

Date and rendezvous spot.

I vote July 20th

Not familiar with the area so idk a good rendezvous point.

Yea I googled everyone's city and I'm the only one that's going to be coming from south of saratoga/santa cruz, sadly. The rest are coming from up north about 1hr away from Saratoga.

[dluna17]

Silly would you want to meet us at Santa Cruz and cruise around the beach or meet us at the rendeszvous and drive to Santa Cruz?

[ILoveMySilly97]

Lets meet at a rendezvous spot. Im not trying to navigate through Santa Cruz Trafffic all day to find you all. Lol. Lets meet in Saratoga like what Nic said. Then cruise on highway 9 all the way to Santa Cruz and BBQ there.

So far in the only one coming up from south of Santa Cruz.

[ILoveMySilly97]

July 13th, 14th, and 20th I won't be able to make it. The July 27th I might head up to the wekfest event.

Ok looks like everyone is cool with JULY 28th. So I guess whats left is Time - Location - and what to bring...

[ILoveMySilly97]

I'd say Saratoga as rendezvous point, head to a beach, BBQ and chill? Don't take my word though because I am unfamiliar with the bay area. Lol.

I agree, unles you guys dont want to do any canyon driving. We can go straight to Santa Cruz.

Anybody in here more familiar with Santa Cruz beach area?

Newcelica group had a BBQ meet at Manresa State Beach:
Sand Dollar Drive
Watsonville, CA 95076

I've never been there and also i think there is a 10 fee to park
Just throwing something out there

That is about 20 miles from Santa Cruz. I don't think it is too far and it might not be as crowded as Santa Cruz.

Good pick!

Any other suggestions?

+1, it shouldn't be so crowded since its not close to Santa Cruz. Im fine with any spot. As long as my car can make it through the driveways and ECT. Im planning on slamming my car for this event if Im not lazy.

[Warapparel]

I may be able to do the 28th. My girlfriend is off sundays and mondays so it would be nice to travel somewhere other than socal. Shes a really good photographer too so if we do attend we can get some good pictures. Were going to be coming from San Diego. I will need to know the meet times and all so we can plan our long drive up accordingly. Ill talk to her about this today and let you guys know. This will be my first 6gc meet too.

[Smaay]

I used to live in monterey and thats not that far at all.

[Warapparel]

Shes down to go and super excited about it. depending on times we will probably leave really early sunday morning like 3-4am she can sleep on the way there. I cant wait to go to my first 6gc meet too.

You should just head out there the day before and spend the day at monterey & santa cruz, im sure you two will enjoy a mini vaca. Then you would'nt be too tired the day of the meet. Thats what i did when i went to toyotafest in LA this year :-)

It sucks having to drive I-5 for a car meet. You'll wash your car all pretty before you leave and arrive with hundred of bugs all over the front

I totally agree. Long drives are tiring, better to get fully rested and do some sight seeing with your girl. Once a month I drive 7hrs then go straight to work, I am used to it but I still get tired once in a while.

Yup! Unless you wanna drive behind a truck and let it shield your car against bugs

Just last week I drove from ohio to the bay area stopping only for gas and food. It was 2,500 miles and took 37 and a half hours. Now I feel that driving to so-cal and back is doable in one day without getting too tired

Well if you take the 101 and if you never been to SPLASH in Pismo Beach you need to try there clam chowder!!!! ITS HELLA GOOD! and then finish it off with some tri-tip sandwichs at FIRESTONE GRILL in San Luis Obispo. ITS HECKA GOOD! and if your a vegetarian just keep on driving!

Any updates?

I'm guessing 28th of July is the set date and seems like Manresa State Beach will be the bbq spot. Where should we rendezvous at or should we just go straight to the bbq spot and cruise afterwards? I'd say we should find a rendevzvous point and cruise around for a bit then head to the bbq spot and chill there. Anyone familiar with the area enough to know a good route to cruise around? I know for sure highway 1 is going to be super busy. Like always. Well be tough for all of us to keep together.
