is there a price for a parking fee or anything of that sort? and another question is it all generation celicas? ive got a couple of buddies that would like to go can i just add them as +1's or what?

[Car_Barn_Bandit]

There shouldn't be a parking fee. Technically if you park anywhere in the National Forest (along our cruise) you need a pass. They're $5 for the day, but we aren't leaving our cars and hiking so I don't see it being a problem. We will let everyone know after we talk with a Ranger (incase they think we're racing or some such nonsense).

It is completely open to all generations! If you want to post up the names of your buddies and what they are driving, that'd be great to add to the list. Also, let me know if you want to bring any food to grille, etc. We have plates, soda and cups covered so far. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Sounds like a blast!! i hope that I'll be able to go. How do meets usually work though? Never been to one and i just got my Celica about a month ago

We're basically meeting at the park before the drive for photos and everyone to arrive. Then were going on a scenic drive with a bunch of cars through the mountains to Big Bear. Then we're having a BBQ as a bunch of Celica enthusiasts. Just a great way to meet other owners, show off your car, get advice and enjoy other Celica owners.

Literally the day before. We just want to know who all will be there, so we can get a head count and make sure food and beverages are covered.

We are postponing the meet till next Sunday due to a freak heavy snowstorm. The lake area is closed with snow and the roads, which finally reopened a little while ago are salted and will be full of ski traffic tomorrow.

We are staging at the bottom in the park I have on the map. There is a parking lot there and we will all take pics, meet and organize the cruise so we can drive up!
