2002 Spring Gathering: DIRECTIONS!!!

DATE: Saturday May 18th
TIME: 2:00 PM
LOCATION: Parkhill, ON

Here is Parkhill on the map:






Here are some crude directions once you get to Parkhill:

the meeting place is the "Scenic Lookout" just outside of Parkhill. as you are leaving Parkhill on Main Street (which is Hwy 81), towards Grand Bend, the Scenic Lookout is just outside of town, on the right side of the road. It is before the parkhill damn, so if you hit the damn, turn around.

After the meet, we will all take Hwy 81 past the motorplex and roll into GB!

I'll be at the Motorplex all week-end long. I'm heading out right after work tomorrow to set up the site. I don't think there will be much going on tommorrow night, so the party could be cool... especially if the wether is bad. I'll definitely catch you at some point this week-end.

I'll be at the concert... even though the bands blow. I usually go for about 15 mins, then go back to the site because the bands blow.

The forecast I saw said "cloudy" for all three days.... there was no mention of rain, but still not the best weather.

This is only the first event. The next one is tentatively planned for a roadtrack in the GTA this summer.

The forecast seens to change by the hour. lol
the car club that i am a member of is haveing a car show June 16 in Kitchener. it would have made for a good back up date. the show is open to all cars and only cost $5 to enter.(all of it going to Childerens wish). it would have been cool to see all the third gen out there.

yeah Jason, the party is outside of Parkhill. its on Parkhill Drive. Parkhill Drive is the first road just as you are leaving town (befpre the scenic lookout and on the otherside of the road) and you can only turn left on to it. the place is about 5-7 mins down the road (or less depending on how you drive). i dont know the 911 number on the place, but its on the right hand side of the road. i dont know if i will see you before friday night, but i will park my TA on the side of the road by the place, so you know which house it is should you and your buddies want to come. the party is in a drive shed and my friend Matt's place (he was one of the guys at sparta with me). you guys are welcome to come. i dont believe there are any kegs this time, so bring your own beer. i should be there from about 7:30 or 8:00pm till likely 2am. anyway we will have to meet up some time this weekend for sure.

Hey Brad, I will probably be around. I want to take my boys to the Motorplex to see some races. Just out of curiousity, what does it cost as a spectator?
Maybe we set up a time as to when to meet up, say at the Motorplex or Jason's site, or where-ever.
