09' NW meet-Astoria,OR, it's official now Options

[96bluevert]

First of all, thanks to everyone that voted in the polls and came up with ideas for the meet.

Here's the plan:

What-The NW 6gc meet for 2009

When-July 25th and 26th

Where-Astoria, OR. Camping at Fort Steven's State Park (just 20 minutes from Astoria)

Why-To hang out with some cool people, save some money by camping, and enjoy the city of Astoria.

Meet at: Astoria column (1500-2199 Coxcomb Dr. Astoria, Oregon 97103)

Meet time: 12pm. That should give most people enouph time to get there without having to wake up really early.
There is a $1 visitor fee to park at the Column, but I think it'll be well worth it.

We can hang out there, snap some pics of the cars, and check out the Column for a bit.


Who-
Attending:
1.JustinCapps
2.96bluevert
3.Jay(gen5coosthunder)
4.Enrique
5. Black94GT

Maybe:
1. ra65_22re
2. Rayneezy23
3. Legit94gt
4. Tin Foil
5. 95celicast
6.creis (no celica though)
7.bizzerk

What to bring:
-Celica of course (if you have one)
-tent
-sleeping bag
-camp stove and any other camping equipment you might want/need.
-camera, if you have one.
-two-way radio (so we can communicate easier while driving)
-food

Since we don't know for sure how many people will be there, I think we will have to do a first-come first-served basis as far as the campgrounds. Here is what we will do: Meet up in Astoria. Maybe hang out in Astoria for a little while, then head over to the campgrounds to get checked in and set up camp.

If anyone wants my cell # just in case something happens or you get lost for some reason, pm me!

sounds good to me!! though I must ask but would it be rude of me to bring a keg... O and does anyone know if there are any lakes or streams somthing for some fishing? i know its got the ocean(I think) but that water is freezing.

[96bluevert]

I don't mind if you bring a keg...so long as you share

The only thing would be that the minors amoungst us can't drink (sorry guys) b/c we will be in a state park and obviously it's illegal.

Looking at the website, it seems you can fish.

[GriffGirl]

There's a lake at Ft. Stevens but IDK if it has any fish in it. You can swim in it though

[terbear4god4life]

Cool, will do.

[Black94GT]

Yo Yo Yo.. Hello to all 6GC'ers. Im planning on going to this. hopefully its a go!!

[96bluevert]

^^^ Yep, it's officially happening.

I think if we get two tents per campsite, it'll cut down the cost, cause it's less to add an additional vehicle to a site than take up a whole nother site. Remember to bring some cash for the sites everyone!

[coosthunder]

Oh its happening and ill start getting the word out to other forums here next month after the april 5th meet in seattle im going to.

[96bluevert]

It's cool if other forums come, but make sure they arn't going to be dumb***es and get us all in trouble. I don't want to be kicked out of the state park b/c of a few troublemakers, plus that would just make Celica owners look bad.

But I already posted this on TSNW and probably will on PSTOC too. But I know the people on those forms are all down to earth and won't make any trouble .

[96bluevert]

Ok, Since there arn't alot of places I could find that are good meeting spots, we will all meet up at the Astoria Column. It's a huge column on top of a hill overlooking Astoria and looks to be pretty cool.

So update:

Meet at: Astoria column (1500-2199 Coxcomb Dr. Astoria, Oregon 97103)

Meet time: 12pm. That should give most people enouph time to get there without having to wake up really early.

There is a $1 visitor fee to park at the Column, but I think it'll be well worth it.

We can hang out there, snap some pics of the cars, and check out the Column for a bit.

[tin_foil]

put me down on the maybe list. I'll see if I can make it. If the celica's not ready, I might have to bring the bike. Hope that's okay.

If you think you can get all your camping gear on the bike and make it there, that's fine with me.

[creis]

are the sites reserved yet? are we going to reserve ahead of time?

[96bluevert]

We probably should, especially since it's durring the summer time. But since there are only 10 definates for now, I could only reserve spots for those people. Would hate to reserve too many spots then find out some people couldn't make it.

I'll check if you have to pay a down payment first though to reserve.

edit: Looks like there's a $6 reservation fee. If I can find 3 or 4 sites next to each other, I will reserve them.

How do these sites look to everyone? http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_...OR&parkId=2

site #49, 51, and 54 are available for those two days and are right next to each other...I'm having trouble reserving right now, so I'll have to wait until Monday when I could call in.

[creis]

Looks good to me.

[Legit94GT]

how many people can stay in one site? is it like a one tent site thing or what? The only reason i cant say im going is cause its my girlfriends birthday just a few days before, so i might be doing birthday stuff all weekend, still not sure I want to come though

[95CelicaST]

Put me down as a maybe. I don't know what their rule is in the way of tents persite, but I have no problems folding my back seat down and camping Subaru style if needed.


Hopefully I'll have tint by then!! Ha ha. o-0

They allow two cars per campsite, I figure we can get probably 2 tents per site.

They allow up to 8 people to stay at one site.
