Oh ok. And as for the shirt one with norcal thirdgen with the state shape and the star along with a 3rd gen IROC & GTA TRANSAM i say would be the best.

 

So I found a place that I think will work well for all of us. Natural Bridges State Park (labeled "A") looks to have the scenic beauty we are looking for, coupled with ample parking. Just a heads up, parking within the park is $10/day, with a huge lot that will easily take all of us. There is also a large lot just outside the park, that is labeled "B" in the photo, as well as parking all down Swanton Blvd. Depending on the number of cars that participate, we can decide which lot will work best for us. But just plan on the $10.00 option. We can also avoid downtown Santa Cruz this way and squash any traffic concerns. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=541

dibs on getting stuck parking on beach.

btw whats the address for the 9am starting location? PM is fine.

 

This is the route from the meetup point. We will have staged at all other locations already, and the various groups from North, East, and South, will all converge here, just as we did last year, and head out on the same route as we did last year. I have highlighted the route with directions on the link below.

And this is an aerial image of the location where we will all meet before heading up 35 and starting the official cruise.

Please zoom in to the area to get familiar with the location, and how to get there based on where you and your group are coming from.

Thanks all!

Manteca, Stockton, Modesto, Tracy area.

Target parking lot in Lathrop, CA. 16858 Golden Valley Pkwy 95330

Take the I-5 to Louise Ave in Lathrop. Head west. Can't miss Target.

Meet at 7:10. Leaving by 7:30 am sharp! gives us 1.5 hours to reach SF which at that time on a Saturday morning should be more than enough time.

Bring 5 bucks for bridge toll fees.

If your not on the facebook page PM me if you want my #. It'd be nice to get an official headcount.

To make sure everyone see's this I am making a thread.

 

is eneyone else from fresno goin ? what would be easy for me to meet up with the stocton ppl or sf or what you guys think ?

 

From stockton area we are going to SF. Your biggest problem is getting up at 5 am to make it here by 7:10! haha.

I don't know of a better route for you. Your going to be doing a ton of driving that day regardless!

I wanna say someone else from Fresno is going...check the thread.

 

yea i seen but not sure if there really goin . but if they r we could go all together.
the bad thing is i work graveyard hahah i get off at 530 on sat. on the driving its coo with me

 

For those who are in the South Bay and would like to meet at my place, send me a PM and I'll give you my address. There is plenty of parking space near my house.
Tommy

 

PM Sent.

 

I wonder if any members of Bay Area muscle car crews will show up? (Such as the 'Maro Boys, Hyphy Muscle and more)

 

Street Action's is on the "going" list on the facebook page.

Remember valley folks if your meeting up with the valley crew, let me know. I want to know how many to expect, thanks!

 

still trying to get the paperwork sorted out on my car.

 

Stay in the middle of the pack, we will hide you from those dirty men...

 

HA! I would have done that back in the day, but not now.

If I can get the registration sorted, I'll get a temporary reg. to bypass a smog test for now. I really want to make this cruise.

 

would love to have ya Tek. Hope you get it sorted out

 

12 days and counting...

 

any est. on how many people

 

I thought I read somewhere on fb that we had like 40 tentative

 

Its going to be huge!! I'm getting more excited by the day!!

 

Just got my T56 pedals mounted and the auto pulled... Just got a drill a few holes and start putting it back together... Hell yeah!

 

Anyone from the Fairfeild / Vacaville / Sac areas plan on goin?

If I'm free that weekend I plan on driving down.. figured I'd join anyone coming down 80 on their way to the City.

 

Sac crew should be rolling thru Fairfield around 7:30am that morning. You are more than welcome to jump in line as we ride by. PM me ur number if u will have that day off and u plan on joining us.

 

eney one from fresno ca is goin ??

 

I'll know by the end of the week if I have that day off. And I'll let you know.

I literally live right next to the interstate, you guys wont have to stop for me or anything, I can just fall in line.

 

It's hard to say definitively how many to expect. Some people always drop out. But it should be a good turnout, larger than last year.

Lots to do in the next week and a half!

Will, For the bbq part at the park, is someone going to bring enough hamburger meat to feed everyone or do you want us to bring our own? Thats alot of money for meat for one or 2 people to spend for 40-50 people to eat.

 

It's BYO everything. This way everyone is responsible for themselves. I've done this in the past, and the bigger the group, the harder it is to keep everyone happy and fed. This way if anyone doesn't eat, it's not the fault of anyone else. I'm bringing stuff for myself and my passengers.

 

Checked the standby roster at work today and looks like I'm free till the end of next month. As of right now I'm planning to attend the cruise, so I'll just fall in line behind the Sac crew as you guys roll through Vacaville.

I'll pass my number to you in a private message, as well as anyone else around here that needs it. And you can just gime a heads up when you're about five miles outside Vacaville.

 

Look forward to meeting you

 

Im going to burger regardless. I will bring some snacks for myself and crew to tide me over. While we do the photo op's and stuff. I cant be teased with a good place to eat then not go! haha

 

I will be joinin you for that plus one other pit stop before we leave to pick up my meds

 

Thats all I needed to know. Thanks

Bounty Hunter, looking forward to meeting you.

 

Im assuming they have bbq pits there otherwise you'd need someone to bring a grille...

 

We'll all be sol if theres no bbq pits!! lol

 

I'm pretty sure they got bbq pits there

 

We may have to pay to park so for some of us don't forget bridge and parking money

 

I was unaware the Blue Oyster Cult would be playing on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz on the 29th...

 

Yea, I will post a reminder about the 10.00 entrance fee to the beach. If anyone doesn't feel comfortable paying the 10.00 bucks, there is plenty of parking just outside the park.

Will

 

$10 per car correct?

 

Yep

 

well you can go up there the night before but then you miss the cruise. BOC is badass in concert. especially for some old dudes that they are.

 

Nah, I wouldnt be staying in SC if I went to the show with friends. I'd either end up spending the night at a friends in San Fran, or driving up to Novato and staying with some friends there... or worst case, end up back in Vacaville...which would be more driving, but my bed beats someone elses couch lol.

 

closer and closer

 

Hey guys, so John and I were discussing the option of having some walkie talkies scattered throughout the group to keep everyone together and up to date. He suggested Voxer, which is a touch to talk app, and I downloaded it this evening. It works great, and this will allow us to keep in touch during the cruise without having to go get 2-way radios. If you get a chance in the next few days, download it, and try it out. It's free, and I think it will be a great thing to have some Saturday, especially if part of the group becomes separated.

Will

 

Anyone going from the Modesto Area? I'm not trying to be a "loaner" until i meet up with the rest of the 'maro and 'birds at the meet up location. Both my buddies in 4th gens got drafted for overtime this weekend and it leaves me alone until the meet up point.

 

Check in the rental valleycmeet up thread, I believe they're grouping up and driving to Lathrop, then heading west to the bay...


Also I already have boxer, we used to play around with it and talk **** to each other at work. Haven't used itvsince that fad died out though lol

 

We are going to meet up in Lathrop at Target off of I-5. Undercover89TBI (Anthony) is arranging the meet up there. We plan to meet there between 7am-7:30am. Then we are supposed to leave heading for san francisco at 7:30am.

Someone please correct me if I have wrong information on this. The meet up at the Target in Lathrop is for people from Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Modesto areas.
