6GC florida meet!!! UPDATED!, Magnolia Park, Apopka 02.20.10 Options

[samir0189]

^ I'm not driving to St. Augustine...no way. I still say let's keep it south of O-town, it's so central. But Samir, go ahead and look for some parks...and if there's one that's insanely good, we can go there. But otherwise, a grilling place is just a grilling place. I can tell you guys the beaches down here are nice though, if we're going that route. I also know a pretty good state park down here that has grills, picnic tables, and ample parking. And it's all 30 yards away from the beach.

well speak up son! ive been looking since i last posted! I mean i dont mind st augustine, it is nice--provided there is a place to grill where we wont be harassed, etc.

if you know of a place that is decent lets hear it!! I have absolutely no objection to driving anywhere. once it doesnt take the whole day. (not key west) lol .. I dunno about anyone else..

Not to rag on my car, but anything is special when 7A-FE and an automatic transmission is involved. The 7A-FE does sound pretty good though...and it does feel torquey. Just a bit powerless sometimes.

Honestly, I'm not a huge morning person and I assume you guys won't want to meet later than 12ish, which is fine. I'm willing to drive, just not clear across the state. Whether you drive here or I drive there is basically the same time-wise...I'm just thinking ORL is easier for everyone else.

But by all means, the park here is nice, and the weather will for sure be good.

There is a 6 dollar entrance fee per car.

I want to tell you a little story.

That story in very short.

Get of your arse and drive darn it. I drive to west palm beach once a week from Tampa area... filling up twice along the way... you ladies should be able to afford to drive somewhere once.. have fun.. not go to dunkin donuts for a whole month and save up and use that money to pay to get you somewhere where you will have fun, meet nice people and get lasting memories.

Not like samir is asking you to give your kidney or anything. har har har.

[samir0189]

well burgers for breakfast wont be ideal. lol ..

That park looks good but its if anyone else is willing to drive there. i Know orlando is the best central area but i cant find anything here!!!

[SwissFerdi]

I'm not objected to driving anywhere. Doing 10 hours of driving (let's just say Fort Myers - Jacksonville - back) in one day is a lot to ask for though. However, if you guys are doing Jacksonville specifically...my brother lives up there, so I could crash there if necessary.

[yarik83]

Maybe you should move closer then wink wink. ;-p

I go down to Fort Myers area too every now and then... stinking volunteering... my company kinda sort a requires it and they keep pushing them as far south as possible. I keep telling my boss.. send me to Cancun I will do all the volunteering in the world there... basking in the sun that is he he he.

[samir0189]

this is as good as it gets for orlando area.

wekiwa springs

About 20mins N of I4


I also happen to know an EXCELLENT road for a cruise very near.

Samir, that look pretty sweet. I guess this will have to be decided once the list of people is finalized.

Let's start making some concrete plans people.

Everyone in agreement for a meet, grill/chill sesh, and then short cruise, something along those lines, regardless of location?

Ferdi, I think it is good to have interest in a meet before we set things up, but people can't commit until we really get a solid meeting place and date. I am glad to see this much interest though!!

SO with that said, What does everyone think about that location there? The springs? OR any other suggestions?

Then when we are decided on our meet location, we can find a date that suits mostly everyone.

When i get the time, I am also going to go PM a bunch of FL members that are still active on the boards in case they did not see this thread, if anyone wants to help with that i would not mind!!

[SwissFerdi]

That works too. Well, me and you are guaranteed attendees.

A good location I know is again, this state park: http://www.naplesnews.com/places/delnorwiggins_pass_beach/ Right by the beach, there are grills and tables provided, and there should be decent parking. Water will probably be cold-ish, but it's a great location for a meet.

Samir, if you'd care to submit a location as well, then we can vote. Again, I'm down to drive, maybe not necessarily northern FL but definitely O-town.

And if you want to make a list of FL members since I don't know many, I can definitely help. Although I think you can send one PM to many users, they don't have to be individual. I can talk to Ron down here, his is the one with a Veilside kit waiting for paint. There's Jester in Naples, I don't think he's active anymore.
