Cruise to Alder Lake/BBQ Potluck
 

What: Cruise out to Alder Lake and a BBQ
When: August 28, 2011
Where: Start at my place in Spanaway, go through Eatonville, end Rocky Point on Alder Lake
What to bring: Your Fit, at least 1 dish
Time of Cruise start: 2pm
Arrival at Alder: 330ish?

Details:
This is a cruise, not a go fast fun run. We will be leaving my place around 2pm and heading out towards Eatonville. There will be a gas up at the Safeway on 224th and Meridian. Cheap on the wallet but not harmful to your tank ;)

From there its almost a straight cruise out to Eatonville, then head onto the eatonville cutoff road and drop down onto Alder. Rocky Point is roughly 2 mi from Sunny Beach, which is where the cutoff road meets Hwy 7.

We need to confirm a date and amount of cars attending so my parents can get things ready.

Also, I need to know who wants to bring what. Their food supply is fairly limited so we will be bringing everything out there to them. They have a bbq, oven, power ports, etc so if you need to reheat or cook (burgers, hotdogs, steak, etc) then that we can do easily. :) Also, cups will be needed (if soda is brought in bottles) but plates and napkins are taken care of.

I'll start the list of attendees. Put a note next to your name with what you are gonna bring.

1. Scorpmatt +1
2. Feichai - Burgers/Buns
3. Angryfit +2 - Hot dogs/Buns drinks?
4. Kylerwho +3? - something from Safeway
5. theindiearmy - something from Safeway -Maybe??
6. Ekonetics +? - Potato Salad and Chips

put me down for this man, and I can pick up some burgers and buns

After a talk with my folks, a date has been set. the 4th is Labor Day weekend and not a good one for us to drive out there with a group of cars. :)

28 is fine, we seriously need more peeps....lol

im down to come, calender set:) umm i can bring hot dogs and buns with condiments. maybe some drinks? beer? or what..... girlfriend and baby

weee! more ppl chiming in! yay!

sent two texts to people. one said hell be there he will be on the forums soon enough

1. Scorpmatt +1
2. Feichai - Burgers/Buns
3. Angryfit +2 - Hot dogs/Buns drinks?
4. Ekonetics +2 - Potato Salad/Chips

Any preference in chips?

I will be bringing my girl and my baby as well to the meet.

regular doritos, regular potato chips, bbq chips all seem to go over well. :)

I'd say pick one and another person can bring a different kind if they like... or something.

^ hey scorpmatt, are there gonna be places nearby to do a run if we need to? cause that can be another alternative if we want, just meet up, cruise over, and then do a quick run of things we're missing or something?

Thanks for the suggestions Matt.

I'm excited to go for a nice cruise out somewhere, since it's been awhile.

We are stopping at a Safeway for fuel, so if you need to grab stuff there you can. If all else fails, there is a small store in Elbe just 2mi down the road that carries food stuffs. Prices can be high there so it's better to get it at Safeway.

I'll be there. I'll just get something from Safeway when we gas up. Also talking to the pops about bringing his Fit, but I don't think he's interested at this time. I'll talk to him again about it soon.

aw man, such a bummer for me coz my wife is working that day - evening shift, i hate nurse's work schedule...so i'm left with the baby at home and she wouldn't want me to bring our 2 month old baby with me without her coming...i'll try to go to the next one for sure!!

@ theindiearmy, got you on the list

@ lilj, no worries man. You can hit us up at the next one. :)

weeee......few more days for our little Fit meet!

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to back out of this one. Things fell in place for me to take the Fit on a road trip to Crater Lake. I don't think I'll be back by 2:00 on Sunday to make this. If that changes, I'll certainly let you know, but for now, I'm going to have to cancel.

I'm going to have to cancel as well since i don't feel right for putting my one month old on a long car ride anytime soon. She didn't like the Oregon trip we made last week at all. Hope you guys have fun out there.

you guys prefer doing something closer? it's bad enough we were 5 cars, now we're only 3 =(

This is like 2 minutes away for me.. I'm definetly still gunna go.. keep me filled in 425 443 8671. People should bring cameras for rolling shots and we need to find the most scenic routes for best photo oppurtunities:)

sweet, ok so what's the address to where to meet? hey angry fit i'm txting you so you have my number in case anything changes as well.

im free tommorrow so i will meet up with feichai and then head down for this meet. i for sure have a +1 and its possible that i will have +3 but im not sure yet.

Can't edit from mobile. Address is 1823 164th st e, tacoma, wa

cool deal! see you guys tomm! woot!

it's almost 6:30 in the morning... why am I awake? Well, maybe you don't want to know the reason, but I'm going back to bed, after a long day of driving yesterday, I needs more sleeps for this drive :D

Anyone got a number for theindiearmy?

just texted him no response... washing the fit now:) so were meeting at your place at that adress?? shoot me a text man 425 443 8671 need final info

I have changed my mind and will meet everyone at Matt's. Getting ready to make some quick stops and then to Matt's. Be there around 2pm.

cool meeting the small WA fit group, I got some pics I'm editing and I'll post them up, next time let's schedule an Alki Beach meet, see if we get the seattle background in our pics, and hopefully the sun won't be in the way as that screwed a bunch of the pics up.

ok so on a diff note, who all was there? need screenames to match the cars.

and whoever has fb, let me know.

I have the dirty black Fit with the red trim grille.

alright guys, so I've posted the pics in the general WA thread. If you guys want the HD copy, let me know and I can email it to you guys. I'll put together a thread later on this week for an Alki beach meet, see if anyone is interested in doing a shoot meet.

I was driving the Silver Fit with the newborn baby.

It's too bad I didn't get to make the photoshoot until the end, next time for sure.

Yea, glad you decided to come out and that we left Crater Lake early enough.

Be sure to check out the thread about the motoring meet this Sat in Issaquah.
