NorCal thread

[yrsdrgn]

Ok this will be the new NorCal thread. Poll is there for voting on the location of the meet happening sometime after May (i think.) Let's see how the poll looks in say maybe two weeks yes?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...Vallejo (waterfront) is in the lead right now. 100%

[yrsdrgn]

I'll vote on the last day that the poll is up

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha.

[yrsdrgn]

that's how it is haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i have a feeling where you want it to be. heh.

[yrsdrgn]

i don't mind going to vallejo if there is a lot of scenery for nice picture taking haha. SF.....there might be too many tourist and we'd get caught in traffic around the nice picture taking spots.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

true, true (about SF). as for Vallejo, there's a park called Blue Rock Spring (it'll be okay if there weren't too many people), there's the vista point/rest area off the freeway west bound coming from Sac, a few places near Jesse Bethal High School, and my pick, the waterfront/marina.

[yrsdrgn]

cool....but all i know is SF so any other places you mention aside from Six Flags in Vallejo i'd be confused about haha but I trust you on those places being nice

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha, Marine World Africa USA, Six Flags Marine World, Discovery Kingdom...i lost track of what the name is. hahaha. but seriously, that place changes its name so much. i guess they're trying to bring back an emphasis on the animals again. but yeah, i think that the waterfront is the best place in Vallejo.

[yrsdrgn]

cool. Vote People!!!! VOTE I SAY!!! haha

[barebonedvitz]

haha... made it tilt! :tongue:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, tilting to Vallejo.

[Yarismutt]

If you make the meet at the end of Aug. I will be driving through SF. On the subject is their any cool local spots in norcal I should make a point to stop at.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hmmmm, i really haven't been to many places, but yes, SF is a good spot. Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for a themepark....can anyone else help him out?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Napa for its wine?

[barebonedvitz]

If you make the meet at the end of Aug. I will be driving through SF. On the subject is their any cool local spots in norcal I should make a point to stop at.

really up to u man... there's A LOT of places to visit in the bay area = clubbing, sightseeing, and food. if ur into nature.. hahaha.. here i go again... Yosemite! :headbang: As with sactown, i can only suggest chiLLIn by the lakes and rivers around town... oh.. and food too..the clubs are alright...!

[yrsdrgn]

should have a cruise down Woodside!!!!! =P

[Kaotic Lazagna]

where's Woodside at?

[yrsdrgn]

woodside is near san jose haha but i was just kidding. it looks like a mountain path from videos I've seen but other than that I know nothing of it

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha...

[barebonedvitz]

goodness... haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Valley-Jo back in the lead.

[yrsdrgn]

not many people responding to this compared to the ones that responded to the other norcal meet thread

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i know.


so, who's actually interested in this meet other than me, yrsdrgn, and barebonedvitz?

[GuySmily]

I'm just on the fence between local vs driving all the way to the bay. Kinda tough for me to drive to the bay area.

Ironically, I am posting this from a hotel in Millbrae (South SF).

Sac is easier for me, but I don't have an official vote.

[yrsdrgn]

haha i drive down near milbrea almost every day for school lol

[GuySmily]

You go to CSM or something? San Bruno is my home town

[yrsdrgn]

i go to skyline but i drive by millbrae when i get lunch with my friends

[paradigm]

i'll go if we can ever decide on an actual location and time :P

[Kaotic Lazagna]

what's the time limit on this thread again, yrsdrgn.

[yrsdrgn]

the poll will close on 5-15-07 at 5:54 pm PST

[Kaotic Lazagna]

that's random, 5:54 pm? any reason for the 54?

[eTiMaGo]

that's random, 5:54 pm? any reason for the 54?

I'd say it's because the poll was opened at 5:54 pm :biggrin:

[fallensoldier1986]

Redding :burnrubber:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Redding :burnrubber:

wait, aren't you in Arizona?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'd say it's because the poll was opened at 5:54 pm :biggrin:

good point. touche

[Vanderkitten]

Berkeley and Martinez

[yrsdrgn]

this location thing is hard to figure out haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, i agree.

[eTiMaGo]

what I would say is... Why don't you guys PM each other your addresses, then someone put them into Google Earth or some other mapping software, then see where everyone's at, and try to find a good meeting point roughly in the middle?

[yrsdrgn]

hey, i like that idea of yours Etimago. Who wants to collect them addresses? lol

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...i think the middle place is Vallejo, not to be biased or anything (if that, i would say Sac, lol).

i can get them addresses.

[paradigm]

<- Vacaville lol. At least with all this time deciding i'll have my car lowered by then :thumbup:

[yrsdrgn]

everyone tuning their car while I'm de-tuning mine!!!! :cry:

[FolsomTercel]

And Sac takes the lead... though honestly what's there to do there? I just live close. Where ever it ends up, I'm down... if my crazy work schedule allows.
:thumbsup:

[yrsdrgn]

well i guess the yaris owners in yarisworld.com will be able to see each others car up in person and meet the owner of the car and everyone would be chatting i guess? other than that maybe all get lunch or something and then do a little cruising around in a Yarii Pack haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha, Sac, let's see, there's nothing much here. the drag strip? not really sure where to cruise to though.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, poll has ended, and the votes favor Sac.

[GuySmily]

If anyone's up for a fun scenic mountain drive, there's always...

We can keep going north, pass thru Cool, CA till we get to 80, and eat at the Black Angus near North Sunrise Blvd.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i don't even know where that's at, but sounds good to me. lol...i can meet up with you and just follow you. hahaha...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

and is that an SW21 i see?

[GuySmily]

Yeah, it belongs to a guy (Adrian) on mr2oc.

Salmon Falls is off El Dorado Hills Blvd. I live just up the hill =p

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha. i'm guessing it's not too far from Sac.

[WRBlue]

We can keep going north, pass thru Cool, CA till we get to 80, and eat at the Black Angus near North Sunrise Blvd.

ewww Black Angus. I work about 3 blocks from that corner.

Pilot Hill -> Cool -> Auburn on 49 is a nice drive. Esp the Cool -> Auburn part ;)

I'd take Auburn/Folsom Rd to Douglas if you wanted black angus - or anything else by the galleria - just cause auburn/folsom rd is nicer than 80 :D

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i don't know that area. =\

[GuySmily]

Yeah I've only driven it once, and I was with my gf. She wanted Black Angus =p

El Dorado Hills is east of Sacramento.
Taking 50 East:
Sacramento -> Rancho Cordova (Sunrise)-> Folsom -> El Dorado Hills (EDH)
(Right?)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

that shouldn't be too far. probably 30-40 minutes depending on traffic?

[WRBlue]

30-40 min if your starting in Natomas and heading W on 80 to 50. Or from Davis.
Its about 5 minutes from the Folsom rd exit on 50.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, i got it right, 30-40 minutes.

[barebonedvitz]

yep! any place near hwy 49 or 50 sounds good!

:biggrin:
