2010 Florida Summer meet Options

[SwissFerdi]

read here for update, date changed!!!!!




Well, it seems Ferdi may not be able to make it to this meet, so I'll try to take over from here, still pending if i can make it myself. Ill try hard to be there but in the event i cant, Yarik and Axel will have to take charge here.

DATE:

First off, im gonna propose a date change, from SAT, JUL 3 to SAT, JUL 10

- due to the holiday weekend. I foresee the area being overcrowded on the 3rd, which may lead to us not getting parks together, not getting a place to grill/sit/eat, not to mention extreme traffic and higher risks being on the highways with everyone booze-ing themselves up, safety is a priority to me, i want to see your celicas in one piece.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CHANGE PLEASE POST! otherwise i wont know who can make it and who cant.


LOCATION:

Fort Desoto Park is still the place! <-------- Click the link for google maps, and to get directions, etc!

The only change to the location, is that im going to be more specific and say that we will meet at the NORTH BEACH PORTION <---- a link to PDF file which breaks down the different parts of ft desoto park, North beach is in the NW corner-ish.



BRING:

-Your 6GC! (if possible)
-CAMERAS, camcorders!!
-Swimming attire if you want... it is a beach.
-Food ---> LINK TO CLOSEST WALMART SUPERCENTER

• chips
• drinks
• charcoal
• burgers
• buns ... for burgers.
• w/e else you hunger for!

BTW I know exactly where the second location is. Every time we go down to Tampa, we stay at the Sailport Resort.
You can literally see the rest area from the windows.

yeah man its really nice out there on the side of that bridge, i like it a lot. I haven't been to the first location personally but it looks OK on the map...... i'm kinda leaning towards the 2nd.

BTW would you guys mind putting your real name so we have an idea what to call you?

Ft. Desoto is much better for the choice. They have grills and cover so we can do a BBQ. The causeway is just a dirt cliff by the water, so not so much fun.


I am gone all of June, July 17-18 and then guaranteed in Nov (which is past the time anyway)

sweet, its good to have feedback on that. Do you know if it is free entry? Pay per car? etc? The location is not tied down to these two, any places that can be suggested is welcomed.

Like Samir said, any suggestions are welcomed.

The only thing that deters me from DeSoto is that it's nowhere...might be a problem for some members to drive out there. There are better facilities though, grills like you said, and trees. The problem with that bridge location is that it's picturesque, but just a bunch of tarmac. We'd be baking in the sun.

[conus00]

How about Sand Key?
It's nice location, right on the beach, some trees that you can stay in shade, bathrooms and I think I saw grills there too.

Sorry I have been out of the loop last 2 weeks. Family came over and I had to entertain them driving all 5 of us in my little celica all over the state.

I would like to say yes to attending a car meet. I am also depressed right now. One of my cats ran away and I have been chasing it around my community for 4 days now so cant think straight. Also shopping for a new car while running up a tally of how much engine mount repair+paint+rims will cost. Once I get that figured out I will at least be photo worthy.

that sounds pretty good. whatever everyone is cool with and can be agreed upon is cool with me... if we need to have a poll or something later on just let Ferdi know.

[Harold_Fastwaker]

Ft. Desoto has a toll but if I remember correctly it was $.75. Sand key is also quite nice.

Pending a date on this, I should be in Florida sometime this summer. If it fits around said vacation schedule, I'm in. And yes, with my Celica.

Sounds good. Added to possible locations, screw that bridge location.

Sorry to hear that buddy. I know how you feel, I was missing mine for a week when he ran away, he finally came back after the neighbors saw him and lured him into the house with some tilapia. He's actually been throwing up for the last three days and he seems to be losing weight, so I'm not feeling that great about him either. It worries me, I've had him for 9 years now. If you need me to call to talk, let me know.

Awesome. We might have another out-of-state attendee, but that also depends on the date.
