Midwest Meet Options

[freddy121389]

Wow that looks like it would be a great place, anyone in that area that can confirm that this place would be a good spot? Also a date would need to be decided upon, are we looking at late spring or early summer or what? I don't think i would be able to go anytime soon due to school starting and work.

That looks like a pretty cool place stl. What is a good time frame for that place.

[keison2000]

bring ya mountain bikes.....

[freddy121389]

lol no where to put my bike in the vert, plus its a street bike from the 80's. I think late may early june would be best, cuz then mostly everyone's out of school by then and its summer so the weather should be good

I'm down for the Lou around then. I probably wouldn't stay the night, and I'd leave around 11 p.m., but I would be there for sure. That looks like a pretty good place.

[keison2000]

That sounds like a good time frame for me too.

[stl95celica]

yeah and my cars kinda messed up right now so around then would be good. its a cool place right next to the river. it actually has cabins you can stay over night in im pretty sure. its got a lake, bbq pits, like a cliff you can look off of lol. ive gone there a few times its really nice. except alot of park rangers.

that sounds like a pretty chill place, anyone know what the price is to rent one of those cabins? if its too much im just gonna stay over night at a motel 6 or something cheap. Also depends on if i can get more people to stay overnight to cut down cost(beware i hog the covers )

[keison2000]

That would be cool to make it a weekend getaway..

[freddy121389]

like a friday and saturday vaca for a bunch of us, that sounds like fun to be honest, didn't go on vacation this summer, spent all the extra money i had on the celi

[stl95celica]

Are we going to keep this 6gc or what

[keison2000]

I'm open to a celi meet(all gens)

[freddy121389]

My friend who drives a gsx might come up(assuming his car doesn't explode on the way up here ) so yea, all gens are welcome.

[stl95celica]

alright

[jimmykay]

I'm from the area too, but im on the IL side. I'm up for a meet, but I've never been to Klondike. It looks like its really close to Augusta which has a really good winery.
Other ideas, I know that the river road from Alton, IL to Grafton, IL is a nice drive with the river and the bluffs (plus I drive it every weekend during the summer). Lots of bikers take that drive too.

There's also the Midnight Madness at Gateway Raceway where you can drag race your car if you want ( I don't do that, my car is slow). Its typically pretty crowded though.

Also, a while back redrocket (from the celicatech) was trying to put together something in Forest Park. That'd be cool too.

Just throwing out ideas. But I'm up for some kind of meet.

I good drive sounds good JimmeKay... Make sure you get with stl95celi on that. Ya'll should be able to come up with some good places. I like what I hear so far.. Hell I just wanna ride and hang out with my fellow 6th gen peoples. All this time in Iraq and working for uncle sam I need a good get a way.

[freddy121389]

Alright well if we want this to happen someone needs to take initiative and pick a place and date when we are going to go, I do like all ideas so far, the race way is a bit much if you ask me, I doubt anyone will race their celica unless its us racing each other. The drive sounds cool, im down for a cruise. Everyone post what you think will be the best idea, and well all decide, i wish there was a poll option on here.

[jimmykay]

well, to be honest, I don't know how much time I'll have to help plan something. Friday I found out that my wife and I are pregnant and will be due in April. So I'd rather not have to shoulder the load of planning. Though I'm willing to help. And I just wanted to throw out what few ideas I knew of.

[keison2000]

That is cool Jimmy, congrads on the baby. Any ideas just continue to throw them out there.

[freddy121389]

yea congratz man, we'll lets get a few more ideas out there we do have a year, then we'll decide
