Northern Cali meet: yes another one!!

[v12horse]

Hi everyone, Marc (280z) and I have been talking and we want to have another meet. Last time there was 5 of us old school Z's and hopefully there will be a better turn out for this upcoming meet.

When:

The time to meet would be on a weekend obviously, but what weekend I am not sure. Lets have a meet no sooner than 2 weekends from now. Saturday or Sunday is fine with me.

Where:

I don't know, throw out some ideas. Marc and I are in the Bay area so, somewhere in that vicinity.

Okay, who ever would be interested in having a meet post here. Post when you are availible and what would be cool for a meet. The last meet that we had was a drive up Mt. Diablo. I was thinking of another drive like that and lunch, but throw out some suggestions.

How about next weekend? We attempt to have another one out at Contra Loma, there is places to BBQ, swim, fish, and LOTS of shade. After that we could go out on a drive to somewhere. I have no ideas for that.

[v12horse]

Errr, I can't do anything next weekend. It is Mother's Day. The weekend after that would be good though.

dude contra loma sucks, no one will travel to ANTIOCH, (the most boring city in the world) to have a meet. i think we should meet at a beach or something

[Ares240Z]

Boo the beach! Damn beaches... All the hot girls... I think we should go somewhere where there is a nice drive. My friend just got his SC installed in his swapped civic and my car is up and running. So let's do it!

I was also thinking of a nice drive. Marc has recommending the beach, so maybe a drive on hghway 1 would be nice. I have this Bay Area Backroads Deck, so here are some suggestions from it:

1. www.safariwest.com This would be cool. It is supposed to be like a Safari; lions, zebras, and giraffes. This is probably 1.5-2 hours away from the east bay.

2. Pescadero; it is along Highway 1 and has a cool light house. This would be a nice drive. It would probably be about 1.5-2hrs away as well.

3. Mt. Hamilton- This would be a nice technical drive and we may get some nice hiking in too. It is only 20min east of San Jose.

4. Monterey is always nice.

5. The 17 mile drive( I think it is 17?)- This is a beautiful drive near Monterey as well. From where most of us are at, it is probably 2-3 hours away.

6. The Santa Cruz mystery spot.- I have never been there, but I have always wanted to go. This is Craigs area, so maybe he could tell us about it.

I hope that some of these seem interesting. If not, say so and we can decide on a place that we will all like. We need more people!!! J/k, three people is fine, but more is better. Hehehehe.

ZONC is planning a Drive to the Oakdale Chocolate Festival on May 15th.

Participation in the car show is $20 for one day and $30 for both days with an additional $5 for registration the day of the show. Included is admission for two adults and a bag of goodies.

Normal gate hours are 9:00AM until 5:00PM so get there early for a good parking area. Admission to the festival without being in the car show is $4.00 per person, children under 12 free.

The Corvette Club is putting on the car show so let's get as many "Z"s to show up as possible.

I have some applications available, or you can use the link.

Personally, I would prefer to have a smaller meet rather than a big festival. More so 10 - 20 cars, and a nice drive, and maybe some dinner. Be able to hang out and talk with people more personally than look there is thousands of people and thousands of cars, let's walk around aimlessly and see what is going on.

I can try to set up a BBQ meet at the Z Zone in Santa Cruz. It's a nice drive down 1 from up north. Lemme know if you want me to ask the owner of the place if we can have a BBQ!

[v12horse]

That sounds good to me. What does the rest of the guys think? What is the Z zone?
