I have a tentive date....Saturday September 19 (EDIT: Changed to the 26th) We drive up in the morning and have day use of all the faclities at my time share including a hamburger & hotdog BBQ. (all you can eat $6) Boat rentals are also available. (Pontoon boats, fishing boats & canoes)

The price is going down from past years. I will inform the wife of the date.

I'm in. And we'll stop at the Alpine Slide before we get to the lodge.

I'm planning to attend.

Lon

Me too.

And after the cruise we can end up at my place again.

We are only a few weeks away so I think it is time for a bump

is it ok for a new guy to show up?

At what time are you guys planning to meet up?

Tony.

Lorraine and I will be going up. The Firebird is stil down waiting for me to get my garage finished to get it in and start the teardown, so we will be in the Saturn wagon again.

You bet, the more the merrier.

We are new to this site and have not been to any meets yet. We would like to join you guys for this one. Where do you meet up/leave from? We are in the Antelope Valley. I have a 91 Pontiac Firebird Formula.

I think we need to post meeting times and the directions to the park in San Bernardino for the secondary meet up point.

i finally got my TA smogged and its getting registered this week so i will definately be able to go

The initial starting point will be Dyno Don's shop:

1030 W. Hoover Ave.
Orange CA 92867

The meeting place at the bottom of the mountain is Wildwood Park:

414 E. 40th Street
San Bernadino, CA 92404

We'll be following a route similar to the Los Angeles Invasion:

Except we'll be stopping at the Alpine Slide and Logonita Lodge instead of Meadow Park.

I am not sure what time we should leave, as the dinner at the lodge is not until 5pm, and its only a two hour drive from O.C. up the hill. It depends on how long we want to hang out at the slide and the lodge. We'll be able to play pool and ping pong, as well as rent a boat and go out on the lake if we want to, at the lodge.

Does anyone want to come back to my place in Brea afterwards and have a small party?

I doubt I can make it. I have a Kiwanis event for a couple of hours in the morning followed by a customer repair job. If the customer postpones I'll be there.

Lon

Tell the customer to follow us along and you can do the repair in Big Bear.

I think a good time would be to leave Don's shop at 8:00 am. I think that would get us to Wildwood Park at about 9:00 am. Allow 1/2 hour at Wildwood Park, that gets us to the Alpine slide @ 10:30 or so. We probably would want to grab some burgers, dogs or something for lunch at the Alpine Slide, and allowing time for games, cars, and the slide We would probably get to Lagonita about 12:30 or 1:00pm, right so far? The boat rental ties up 3 hours with perhaps 1/2 hour to load up. I think that would pretty well fill up the day while leaving time for people to do what ever other games or activities they would want to do. Does my suggested time line look reasonable?

The boat ride is only an hour, not three.

He might be tired after traveling here from Bakersfield. I wouldn't want him to run off the side of the road going up to BB. Also I can't fit all the tools to repair a door hinge in my Camaro. I could do the headlight repair though.

Lon

They'll let you rent it for three hours if you desire. Maybe Russ wants to waterski this year?

Lon

I hope it doesn't end up like Gilligans island...

Well, you'll have to count this Mary Ann out because I'll be away that weekend.

So, who votes to meet and leave Don's at 8am and who votes for 9am?

I vote for 9am. That way I can take a peek at Don's new speed secrets.

9am ='s a bit more sleep

Ok, I will need a head count for those planning on attending.

1. Don +1
2. Kevin +1
3. Russ +1
4. Jon + ?
5. Allen +1
6. Luis +?

me + 1 gf wants to tag along, slowly but surely im converting her to a 3rd gen lover sooner or later she'l have one of her own, whats departure time

Don, Lorraine informed me on the way home from Las Vegas that she wants to go to the L.A. County Fair in Pomona with my daughter and grandsons, and the only date that works for my daughter is Sept 19, so it looks like I won't make it this year after all.

Don, it will only be me. My wife does not like my driving.

I plan to come along also Don, no wife, shes going out of town.

SoCalMonster, where are you driving from? I'll be heading down from Ridgecrest, but I may go down Friday, haven't decided yet.

And I vote 9am...gives me more time to get to the park.

Should I postpone it a week?????

I just posted a reply, but it didn't get to the web site, so I'm trying again. I just checked with Lorraine, and next Saturday works for us.

Should I postpone it a week?????

That would work better for me. Allen

My wife would probably join me then, and it gives me more time to make the car look good.

It'll be me+1 for this Saturday.

Can't make next Saturday, I'm already reg'd for "Cruisin' for a cure".

9am is good for me.

Me (Gerald) plus my gf (Sarah)

We are going to head down Friday so we can drive the whole way with you guys.

The 19th works for me

Damn. My wife's car just bit the bullet so she's takin my GTA on saturday to work. Damn, this is no good.

Well, majority wins......

It has now been moved to Sat. Sept. 26th

Hope the others can adjust....sorry for the last minute change.

Thanks Don. The 26th it is. Allen

this was going to be my first meet with the third gen guys and now i cant go because of work.

I guess ill wait til the next one.. even though ive been rushing to get body work done so the car looks decent.

Ok, Don Put Lorraine and I down.
Russ

This was going to be our 1st meet too but now I'm unsure if we can make it on the 26th. Had this date saved since we found out. Hopefully we can make it.

I'm back in with the date change to the 26th.

Lon

Hey Guys,

Looks like I'll be picking up a '91 this week sometime. I actually live up in running springs, so pending anything falling OFF the car on the way home, maybe I'll buzz by and meet a few people. I was a little upset when I read BIG BEAR, and then the 19th. . . would be my typical luck to find out about a meet on the 19th... on the 21st. But the 26th would be nice.

If you go up the 18 or 330, I live just beyond the 76 station where they meet up. Watch for CHP when you drop into that area. It says 30mph and they mean it. There's a couple of spots there that they like to hang out.

Ok so if we leave Don's around 9am and get to Wildwood Park around 10am, does that sound good?

Bring your cameras, walkie-talkies, and GPS units.

Sounds good to me. See you guys Sat. morning.

So your route is taking you up the 18 then? I'll have to park at the snowboard shop and wait for the lineup to go by... woowoo!

Ok my car's getting new shocks and possibly new tires. Should be ready to go for Sat.

Any chance that somebody going on this big bear trip has a factory or other double din radio that they are selling at a decent (ie, cheap) price?
