Mt. Rainier Cruise August 28th - Toyota Yaris Forums

Stove · 07-25-2010, 03:28 PM

The recent thread about a NW Yari get together lead to the idea of starting a Meetup.com group for Yari Drivers in the Pacific Northwest. It's just for discussing and scheduling meets, someplace to firm up ideas started here. If you live in Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Western Canada please join us. If you live further away and love driving, you're welcome to join.

Northwest Coast Yaris

The idea of a group day trip to Mt. Rainier is in the works. We are shooting for late August but nothing is set in stone yet.

Woot! Signed up! Looks like either weekend we choose will make it so someone can't go. Just started a new thread over on scionlife, lets see what interest and ideas they have.

*Astroman* · 07-27-2010, 01:47 AM

I'm adding a poll, 21-22nd or 27-28th. I think Saturday for the main gig, with an option to camp Saturday night and move out Sunday. Started up a thread on scionlife too and there is interest.

EDIT: once I find out HOW to add a poll to an existing thread, lol.

Stove · 07-27-2010, 02:24 AM

I can make a poll on this thread if you tell me what you want the options to be. If you want to post up a poll on the NWCY Site, go for it. Having it two places might cause some confusion so let me know if you want it on this thread or not.

sqcomp · 07-27-2010, 06:28 AM

...and I'm SO close to having the system done too...

I just don't know if I can make it to this one.

*tomato* · 07-28-2010, 12:31 PM

OK, poll is up, bump

Stove · 07-28-2010, 08:42 PM

Voted.

bige · 07-29-2010, 09:31 PM

ok i voted but im good for when aver lets jest do it

flashydan · 07-31-2010, 02:23 PM

I voted 28-29....but I could do 21-22 also....just seems if we push it out a bit we might get more yari on board.
FYI I'm gonna tag along with the scion group's run to Annie's pizza tomorrow, hope to meet some fun people with cool cars!

*Astroman* · 08-01-2010, 12:07 AM

Sweet I'm sure you will, the scion crew are the most awesome, nice group of people you could ever meet. My gf and I wanted to go, but we had to work this entire weekend (although were BOTH getting paid $50/hr!) so sadly making gobs of money is more important right now, lol. Well, maybe we should just say the 28-29th. Now would this be better to do the main deal on saturday or sunday? I'm thinking Saturday.

*Astroman* · 08-01-2010, 12:28 AM

Ok, I found the spot I went to 5 years ago and it's PERFECT for our cruise. The place I went to was called Sunrise, and is the highest point you can drive too at 6,400 feet. The White River Campground has a picnic area, camping (of course, it's a campground) and is 12 miles away. Maybe not the LONGEST cruise lol, but still should be a beautiful drive, provide some amazing views (the weather is prime this time of year), and good camping for those who are interested and still provide us a place to chow down, potluck style.

What do you guys think? I'm kinda new at planning an event.

Oh, here is the link to Sunrise

And the scion folks are super cool with the 28th for the main event.

bzinn 1 · 08-01-2010, 12:03 PM

Sounds like a plan..........hope to be able to make this cruise and hang out.....

Gettign ready to head out to the Pizza run.......Annies makes great pizza.

Stove · 08-01-2010, 07:55 PM

The Yaris Meetup page has been updated with this event for the 28th.

*Astroman* · 08-04-2010, 07:55 AM

Sweet! Really looking forward to this, will be camping.

Thirty-Nine · 08-04-2010, 11:31 AM

Well, it looks like I'll miss this one, but have fun and take pics! (I've got plans on the 28th already).

*Astroman* · 08-07-2010, 01:15 AM

Bump!

*Astroman* · 08-10-2010, 12:05 PM

Come on guys lets spread the word!
