Hi All,
Per Diesel Gunner's request, here are the directions to Elk Grove Park:
From the North: Take Interstate 5 South to Sacramento then south to the Elk Grove Boulevard Off Ramp. Drive East on Elk Grove Boulevard crossing over SR 99, through town to Elk Grove-Florin Road. Turn right (South) at E. G. -Florin Road and proceed past the High School to the Park’s main entrance. After paying Sacramento County the entrance fee, drive through the park road until you see a gathering of Dodge CTD’s.
From the Northeast: Take Interstate 80 West to Business 80 South (a. k. a. The Capitol City Freeway) to the SR-50 & SR 99 Interchange then continuing on South on SR-99 to the Elk Grove Boulevard Off Ramp. Once off of SR-99, turn East (left) on Elk Grove Boulevard crossing over SR 99, through town to Elk Grove-Florin Road. Turn right (South) at E. G. -Florin Road and proceed past the High School to the Park’s main entrance. After paying Sacramento County the entrance fee, drive through the park road until you see a gathering of Dodge CTD’s.
From the East: Take US 50 West to the SR-50 & SR 99 Interchange then go south on SR-99 to the Elk Grove Boulevard Off Ramp. Once off of SR-99, turn east (left) on Elk Grove Boulevard crossing over SR 99, through town to Elk Grove-Florin Road. Turn right (South) at E. G. -Florin Road and proceed past the High School to the Park’s main entrance. After paying Sacramento County the entrance fee, drive through the park road until you see a gathering of Dodge CTD’s.
From the West: Take Interstate 80 East to SR 50 (to So. Lake Tahoe) and the SR-50 & SR 99 Interchange then go south on SR-99 to the Elk Grove Boulevard Off Ramp. Once off of SR-99, turn east (left) on Elk Grove Boulevard crossing over SR 99, through town to Elk Grove-Florin Road. Turn right (South) at E. G. -Florin Road and proceed past the High School to the Park’s main entrance. After paying Sacramento County the entrance fee, drive through the park road until you see a gathering of Dodge CTD’s.
From the South: Take SR-99 North to the Grantline Road Off Ramp. Once off of the Freeway, at the off-ramp intersection with East Stockton Boulevard (a 2 Way Stop Sign) Turn Left (North) onto East Stockton Blvd. Proceed North to the 30 Degree Right Turn (Intersection) with Elk Grove-Florin Road and follow the road to the right 30 degrees. Proceed North on Elk Grove-Florin Road to the Park’s main entrance. (If you pass the High School turn back!) After paying Sacramento County the entrance fee, drive through the park road until you see a gathering of Dodge CTD’s.
The picnic areas have lots of shade, grass, and about one BBQ pit per picnic table, trash cans and there is some running water - drinking fountains & area restrooms. Bring whatever else you want. There is also a large pond w/ a walking trail all around and a children's play area too. There is also a swimming pool (additional use fee) in the park by the main entrance. Most of the Softball fields’ tennis courts etc. are on a separate reservation setup. Vehicle parking is usually close to your chosen picnic area just off the paved park road. FYI, I’m not real sure of the facility’s current condition, as I have heard that the County may not be keeping it up.
Due to this Saturday being so close I don't think we can reserve an area, so I'll try to get there early to stake out a good "first come-first served" spot. Look for a two-tone Timberline Green/Bright Silver Metallic 2003 2500 QuadCab CTD with an ARE Tonneau cover.
See you there! Oo.
