Dwayne has agreed to get us a spot for a cruise and bar-b-q to Najoqui Falls park in Solvang, CA. He's going to make his famous tri-tip steak, but we'll need to chip in $5 a person to cover his costs. We'll also need bring side dishes and drinks, as we did for our bar-b-q last month at Mile Square Park.

We'll start at Dyno Don's shop in Orange around 9am, and head north on the 5 to the 101 freeway towards Solvang. We'll have another stop in LA/Ventura for those of you who live up there. That should put us at the park around noon, as it takes 3 hours or so.

So who is interested? Its two weeks from this Saturday, so sorry for the short notice.

Here are some pics from our last trip there in August 2005:

TraviZ · 08-07-2009, 01:39 AM

hey theres me!

TraviZ · 08-07-2009, 01:39 AM

maybe I should drive the iroc..
How much gas will that cost me?

TraviZ · 08-07-2009, 01:45 AM

ok Najoqui Falls is 391 miles from where I sit, the iroc at aproximately 8mpg right now would cost aproximately 300 dollars round trip

So I will be bringing the 4th gen if that is ok? probably not to cruise but for the bbq.

Kevin91Z · 08-07-2009, 01:58 AM

8 miles per gallon? Yuck!

If you bring the 4th gen you'll have to park in the corner.

JulieGTA · 08-07-2009, 02:34 AM

That was a really fun and memorable cruise. I will definitely try to get the day off!

Russ-So Cal · 08-07-2009, 10:56 AM

Lorraine and I will be there. I'll need to bring the Saturn wagon, the Third Gen is registered non op and the insureance has been dropped for the time being. We'll park awaqy fr4om the group. I'm just waiting for my garage to be finished to get it inside and pull the heads and see what else it needs.

injdinjn · 08-07-2009, 12:21 PM

Tony.

Russ-So Cal · 08-07-2009, 05:36 PM

Tony, we'll be past Ventura by the time you get off work. It is three hours from here to Nojoqui Falls and we plan to arrive @ 12:00 noon. Just come North when you get off work. Solvang is only about 1-1 1/2 hours North of you isn't it?

TraviZ · 08-07-2009, 07:06 PM

ok guys I think I got the girlfriend to come down too, I will talk her into driving the 91 GTA. keep it thirdgen ya know

I already requested some days off and they were granted, so I am going to come down friday night, get a hotel, and probably meet you guys at the park directly. Then I will head home that night.

Dyno Don · 08-07-2009, 07:26 PM

I'm in, can't wait to wet my lips with that delicious tri-tip. Yumm Yumm

PS (hold the wierd comments) I know someone will take the opportunity

1989GTATransAm · 08-07-2009, 08:55 PM

"I know someone will take the opportunity"

Now who would do a thing like that?

IROCullan · 08-09-2009, 04:12 AM

Yeah yeah.... I've been lurking for years... (since 9/11 really, but my life has been quite hectic since then). Alas, I have reconnected with Kevbo on Facebook (yes I can hear the groans) and would LOVE to go on this cruise, but I am scheduled for duty that weekend. I'll see if I can get that weekend off, but not holding my breath.

lonsal · 08-09-2009, 11:49 AM

I'll be there, most likely in the 'vert.

Lon

Dwayne88IROC · 08-10-2009, 04:52 PM

alright this is going to be good...i haven't see you folks in years. I'll see if I can get some of the other northern folks to show. Hey Travis... the Motel 6 in Buelton is reasonable and about 5 minutes from the park.

VincentZ28 · 08-10-2009, 07:51 PM

I will try to make it. I guess i'll have to meet the OC crew somewhere off the freeway since I'm coming from Riverside Ca. Anyone from the I.E. wants to caravan and meet up with the OC somewhere off the 101?

godreject · 08-10-2009, 08:29 PM

i plan on meeting somewhere off the 101, unless theres other local LA people who are going, either way im taking the gf with me and plan on making it a weekend thing and catching a hotel, does anyone usually spend the night, what are some options

VincentZ28 · 08-10-2009, 10:07 PM

There's a park-n-ride at the Lankershim off ramp near Universal Studios. If you exit northbound 101fwy at Lankershim Bl. the park-n-ride is right there. And the on ramp back to the 101 is there also.

To my knowledge there are no large hotels in the area, but there are a few smaller ones in Solvang as well as in Buelton just to the West of Solvang about 5 miles or so. Also, Santa Barbara is not very far to the South.

Dwayne88IROC · 08-11-2009, 02:19 PM

madmax · 08-12-2009, 02:01 PM

No.

I really want to but I made a promise for that weekend to someone else a while back so I cant.

Take some pictures for me so I can see the food I was missing out on! And I still want the mix...

porkyzilla · 08-12-2009, 02:14 PM

Damn too short notice otherwise I would go work schedule is already made for that week

Russ-So Cal · 08-13-2009, 10:41 AM

Do we want to start another thread to sign up for what we are going to bring to the party, or should we just add it to this thread?

Dwayne88IROC · 08-13-2009, 04:32 PM

if you post what you'll bring i'll add it to the attendees list.

We will need some:
fruit salad
Ranch style beans
lettuce salad stuff
desert stuff
Plates, utensils, napkins

also BYO drinks

VincentZ28 · 08-13-2009, 05:22 PM

Chips

Grey Goose · 08-13-2009, 06:35 PM

I have a couple issues to sort out with the car, but other than that… I ****ing there baby!

Russ-So Cal · 08-13-2009, 09:06 PM

I can bring soda. Do we need more salad besides the salads that tom is bringing?
I hope the wild fires are out by next weekend. There is one burning out of control between Santa Barbara and Solvang as near as I can tell by reading the reports.

Dwayne88IROC · 08-14-2009, 10:15 AM

The La Brea fire is way on the other side of Solvang and no threat to the GTG except for maybe some ash falling but the wind will make that call.

We have 20+ comming ...med amounts of Mac and potato salad may be enough.

We'll have beans and bread as well.

Russ-So Cal · 08-14-2009, 11:30 AM

I just looked at the California Wild Fires board and noticed that the fire is now 100% contained, so hopefully it will be out by the time our barbeque gets here.

godreject · 08-14-2009, 03:45 PM

i can bring some cookies, sweets, maybe a pie or cake from like costco,

Dwayne88IROC · 08-14-2009, 05:21 PM

Cool I'll put you down for dessert/sweet stuff

Kevin91Z · 08-14-2009, 05:27 PM

Dwayne, I invited a few SCFB people like Dan, Ken, and Christine. Dan is bringing water.

Its just me, the wife has to work because its back-to-school time. I'll bring her fruit salad and some diet coke.

Travis, make sure you come down the 101 this time.

Dwayne88IROC · 08-14-2009, 07:18 PM

Oh yeah I forget about them 4th genners....i guess they can tag along....

j/k I welcome everyone

Kevin91Z · 08-14-2009, 07:39 PM

They're not bringing their fourth gens.

dans30thta@eart · 08-14-2009, 08:50 PM

Dats right, I will be bringing my 2nd Gen. I will bring some kind of side dish also.

Dan

Dwayne88IROC · 08-14-2009, 10:07 PM

Dwayne88IROC · 08-17-2009, 10:43 AM

Hey Rich! WOW it's been a long time....glad your still around.

I'll be getting there early to save the same BBQ pit if possible. I'll get my wife to deliver the wood in the burb.

I'll get 1 bag of tri-tip = 6 tips...hopefully that will be enough.
