Looks like interest is starting to spawn Stan!!! Now we need some dates thrown out there so we can take a poll and get this thing moving!

Shouldn't a Northern California meet be held in Northern California? I would like to go to a meet, but driving over 250 miles one way is to far.

Skyhammer, we may be more towards central California than you would like, but it really doesn't matter what we call it, most of us are from this part of the State, and holding our last Picnic in Elk Grove gave us a fantastic turn out, so I really don't think we need to change our location. You're welcome to join us, even if it takes a drive on your part, or, you can organize something up your way and invite everyone to come up there.

Dawgs, late September and October is pretty open for me, so if you have any suggestions for dates you might want to throw them out. Or do you want to take a poll and maybe leave it open for a week to get the most input ?

Maybe we can sweet talk Christa into initiating a poll on a date and time? Please Christa!!

Um, Elk Grove is pretty much smack in the center of Northern Kalifornia (if you assume a dividing line at Bakersfield). What other areas would you suggest?

When I had my Spottrac, I organized the Northern Kalifornia meet every year. We had it in Vacaville at Lagoon Valley Park. The idea was that we were 1/2 way between Sacramento and the Bay Area. It's a great spot that can hold hundreds of vehicles and might be a good alternative - just a suggestion.

Bakerfield is the dividing line between Southern and Central California. Bakersfield is closer to Sacramento than I am and the Northern border of California is nearly 200 miles North of me.

Most people consider EVERYTHING N. of the Grapevine N. Cali.

Some call Fresno to about Lodi the Central Valley. But Sac. has always been considered N. California by truckers....because simply put there isn't much beyond Sac be it on 101....5 or up 99. Most of the population is below Sac.

You welcome to hold your own meet up north....

But we realize we can't please everyone. Most members are from the central valley and bay area.

Uhhhh no North of the grape vine is just that.. North of the grapevine. Thats called Central CA.

250 miles is too far for a day trip with current gas prices (500 miles total, thats like 140$). If it's within 100 miles I can make it, fyi.

I am in the San FRancisco Area.. guess thats considered central.

Dawgs, I agree fully with you. We can never please everyone, and since we were very successful with our last picnic I propose that we hold this picnic in the same general area. Bay area folks and Northern Kalifornia folks are welcome to join us, but they are also welcome to organize their own picnic. Of course unless you attend both, they will miss the opportunity to make your acquaintance!! What a loss, hahaha. I've added the sway bar since our last meet, what have you done to your truck Dawgs? Has momma let you get any new goodies yet ?

Not to hijack the thread but, you Mt. Shasta/N. Calif. guys have a kick-arse Rock and Roll radio station in KZRO-Z100FM. I discovered it on the Windows Media Player several months ago and really enjoy the brand of rock & roll they play!! I envy y'alls weather reports every time I hear it too!! Hope y'all have a good meet!!! David.

I appreciate your offer, but we were pretty successful with our previous picnic in Sacramento (actually Elk Grove), and I'm not sure how many of the participants would be willing to drive to Fresno for a picnic. What you might want to consider is starting your own thread and see if you can catch people from that area. And that doesn't mean that some of us wouldn't attent also, but I think we'll keep our location up here.

Please check the post by Jaysplaypen on the first page of this thread. It's supposed to be raining 26 - 31 Oct, so should we try for the previous weekend, when it's supposed to be warm and sunny ?

Im so there I got nothing but spare time. I dont understand people, if you dont want to drive to where they are having the meet dont respond, either go or dont. I can bring some hamburgers and hotdogs but no buns.If you can email me with directions that would be great.Peace Out.....
