Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

So the last one got rained out... anyone up for some fun over MLK weekend?

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

Wish I could, but I already have plans.

I'm open to the following weekend, Jan 24/25.

Anyone interested in Santa Cruz or Monterey area?

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

I live in Monterey so of course I'm in for that! and yeah lets switch it up to the last weekend of January...annnnybody?

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

And I think Santa Cruz is a little prettier in my humble opinion, but depending on where everyone is we can move it around, i'm up for wherever.

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

so, last weekend ? ... (24/25)

I could get up for Monterrey then ... what are you two thinking?

With a bit of luck and a lot of emails, I might be able to influence a few others as well ... need to have some idea of what to tell them regarding at least a general plan ...

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

Count me In! Just let me know where and when for sure!:cool:

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

there is always the Carmel Valley run out to Arroyo Seca and back up via River Rd

all two lane road and windy, about 100 mile loop.

Santa Cruz is good too, any suggestions that keep us out of the traffic would be good up there.

Okay I'm in, I kinda like the Napa venue that was proposed last time.

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

that's me who's working on that one ... waiting for a break in the weather that will give us a bit more lead time to pull it all together ... probably a little later in the spring ... if we'd have known this stretch of good weather was going to happen, we could maybe have pulled it off this week ...

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

well, THAT's a bummer ... turns out that while I COULD get up for a GTG that weekend, I actually won't be doing so ... I've just learned that Sat, 1/24 is the birthday party for our little 2 yo grand-daughter and we've got plans to join her at the zoo, petting goats and other animals ...

if you guys DO pull this off, think of me and how much I'd LIKE to have been there but will be pretending to have a good time with the goats ... crap!

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

haha well we've obviously got the interest, and no reason to rush it, a GTG with only a couple people isn't as fun as one with say...7 or more...

Email who you can steve! and then once we get a number of people who are in, and how far everyone is willing to drive, we can set up a couple options and make a poll on here to decide.

so as of right now....lets extend it out a bit.

Saturday, the 31st of January. That way its close enough to scratch the itch til' napa, and be far enough away to plan.

BTW....anyone know of a strip or something in the monterey area...I wanna drive fast but I like to do it legally. (Military so just moved out here, dont know the area too well)

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

OK ... Jan 31 it is ... I'll do all I can to drive some attendance ...

I've been to Monterrey and Carmel a number of times, but am not familiar enough with the area to suggest a spot for 'fast' driving ... I'll have to defer to someone else on that one ...

I'll get some emails out in the morning and will check back here with what I learn, when I learn it ...

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

BUT ... for some very SCENIC driving, there is the 17mile drive ...

fabulous photo ops ... maybe we could be on a page of the 2010 Crossfire calendar

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

17 Mile would be pretty cool...dont know how fast we could push it but never hurts to just flat out ask. and yes very SCENIC, bout it...

I asked a cop once if he cared if i practiced j-turns in an abandoned parking lot in salinas...he just asked if he could watch. lol.


Lets get an attendance list started, copy and update yourself:

---Jan 31st---

Would love to but Jan 31st is a no go for me :(

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

dang that sucks. Sorry to hear... :(

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

Dang!!

I was just in SF Jan 3 thru Jan 9. Wish I'ld known.

No car, but would have been nice to meet up!

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

me too, man ... me too ...

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

damn, oh well. we'll catch each other at some point no doubt.

Re: Bay Area Crossfire Meet! Attempt Two.
 

Jan 31th works, a week before people start showing up for the AT&T Pro-Am, should be decent, traffic wise in the area.

Let's stay out of 17 mile drive, cost about $10 just to drive on their road. Too much traffic anytime but real bad on weekends, heck we could just cruise down the coast to Nepenthe and have lunch and much better views. About a 30 mile drive from Carmel

A place to drive fast in Monterey, not that I really know of, though you never know what "feels" right when you're on the road and push the throttle down.

Brian, Navy? at NPS?
