I have some leads I am still pursuing. My main goal is to secure parking together for all of us and hopefully having BBQ and/or playground facilities available for the families! Sounds like we might get the Fiesta out there... [grinking]
I'm so tempted to go now, because i want to see a new fiesta and looks like so many foci are coming as well.
I had plans for independence day weekend, that included days from June 27...lol what a coincidence huh?
Anyway I'm 90% positive I can make it there for 2 days. June 27-28.
what are we going to do out there? any activities planned? just hang out with the hoods open, lawn chairs and beer? or will we bring some BBQ materials and volleyball or frisbee.
...or are we just going to stand around in a circle giggling about our cars? one or two organized activities might make it more fun!
i got bats and balls... cleats and a mit, but trunk space will be limited with the full crew coming along. but I really like bbq-ing. it would be cool to get a few grills going if we are allowed to at that park...
Actually that was just a photo shoot in front of Morro Rock. We actually met up at Biddle park in Arroyo Grande had a big bbq, and then we took the backroads (twistys) up to Morro Bay for that photo shoot.
i'm happy enough to cook, but i don't want to lug my grill all the wat from SJ. how far is arroyo grande? or is there a locol dude willing to bust out the grill.
I can reserve a park (El Chorro Regional Park) on my dime, but I wanna make sure I don't end up eating the $100+ for the spot. The park would have a BBQ pit, place for the kids to play, just no guarantee on parking together. If this sounds good I'll reserve it, but I'll be hitting everyone up for a contribution at the meet. We could then drive some backroad to the coast and do a photoshoot. Let me know.
That sounds like a good idea... we should get a few more votes in thoough.
if everyone can contribute $10 that would give us enough for the park and a budget for burgers/drinks and charcoal. Even $5-7 each would give us a decent lunch budget.
CP that sounds fine to me. If that doesn't work out I may have another spot. It's actually located on Cal Poly's campus, but there's a bbq pit and almost exactly 30 spots to park. The only problem is that the spots are all on a street that goes through campus. But there's plenty of grass and trees and places to sit. It's not the best place for a photo shoot but there's a 25 mph speed limit and usually lots of pedestrian traffic so there shouldn't be too much trouble for the little ones.
There's more shade now as the trees are in full bloom. The bbq is in the extreme left of the picture and I'd guess it's about 2'x3' wide. As long as we bring enough charcoal and maybe one other small bbq I would think it would be plenty big if we all did hamburgers/hotdogs. If you guys would like I can check with the Cal Poly PD to make sure we don't need a permit or anything to use the space. I don't think it would be an issue, but I wouldn't want to get kicked out.
a park would probably be better than on campus... but that does look like a nice spot. the street parking might be full by the time we show up and the campus police would probably not want to see car club dudes drinking beer and stuff, not that the parks department guys would like that any better. on campus might not have a cost, meaning we would not need as many donations.
is there a costco in SLO? someone will probably have to buy the lunch stuff, etc up front and then we all pitch in as we show up... which means we need someone to take a collection.
