Not sure he may come if my sis doesn't come up to stay with him. How bout your pop, it would be nice to see him if he doesn't have any other hot dates. lol take care and i'm sorry but you didn't get to drive the truck, STOCK.

Nor-Cal Sept. event

Jeff,



The 20th is great for me too!



If we picnic, I may have to leave a bit early, as I am working hard on getting my T. Trailer all checked out for a early October pull! (It has been in inside storage for 12 years!) Besides, my new CTD has been complaining that it needs something to drag around, as it wants to "stretch it's muscles" some more! He, He, He... Oo.



If everyone decides on the Elk Grove Park, I'll try to search for the directions I posted in this section in July. Remember there is a $4. 00 daily vehicle fee (for the new folks).



If possible I'd like to also invite my neighbor Larry. He's a super nice guy. Larry had a 1999 Ford F350 7. 3L diesel which he just traded in for a 03' F350 6. 0L diesel Ford Crew Cab. In fact we are getting together in Oct. with our T. T's to go camping. I hope he gets his new truck back from the dealer soon. It's hard to see a friend have trouble with a new truck right after they get it!



Jeff, let us know what you decide...



John

 

[Kickin Y2K]

I've got it marked on the calendar, but with any luck I will be at the ATS shop in Colorado

 

[TomGolden]

Well, I have a wedding to attend that day, so I guess I'm out

 

[thekidfan]

Well

Lets run with it at the elkgrove park on the 20th. Jon your post with directions is still in here but i have no idea how to move it to this post maybe just post on it again to bring it up. Come on Bill i thought you were spending your birthday with us. LOL. And Tom you to I really need to see that bumper again Layne says I'm on the list and I want to see it again before I say yes. Will send out a updated newsletter when I can write down some directions.

BTW and this goes to everyone I know we've said it before but Jon asked and we don't want anyone feeling left out, everyone is welcome even invite someone you see on the streets the more the merrier right. Jeff

 

[Kickin Y2K]

Okay looks like I'll be there now. Things are getting busy so I won't be able to make my trip to CO until after Tulare.

 

[big jake 1]

what time on the 20th?



Looks like I won't make it to Palmdale due to family commitments, and those commitments are on Saturday afternoon.



Just trying to see if we can juggle everything around.

Sept. 20th NorCal Picnic: E.G. Park information/map

Hi all:



Elk Grove Regional Park Info:



1. UPDATE - GREAT NEWS, Elk Grove recently took back the operation of Elk Grove Park from Sacramento County! I'm hearing that the $4. 00 per day Use Fee is now history as of yesterday, 9/15/03!!! Isn't Local Control great! The EGCSD (the Elk Grove Parks District) will also be making major facility improvements, so by next Spring the Park will not only be free, but better than ever!



2. Here is the Park map again. http://www.egcsd.ca.gov/parks/harvest/egparkmap.pdf I was told All reserved areas are now reserved at this late date. Referring to the map, I might try to snag a spot in picnic Area 7 or 3C, however I won't really know until I get there Sat morning.



3. For any last minute picnic supplies, there are three large Grocery Stores on Elk Grove Boulevard on both sides of SR-99 and before you get to Elk Grove Florin Road (Pac-n-Save, Raley's & BelAir markets). Wal-Mart is very close too.



4. I believe most folks will shoot for about a 9 - 10 AM arrival. If you get lost Saturday AM, call my cell phone 916-812-7230. I'll try to have it on for you.
