West Coast get together August 9th

[ras4434]

I went for a drive today over to the coast to look around for a possible site for a summer meet and greet. I found a place that should fit the bill. FOGERTY CREEK PARK is 1/2 way between Newport and Lincoln City Oregon. About 2 miles north of Depoe Bay. It has picnic area, a covered area if it rains (in August...no way) and it is a 200 yard walk to the beach. For those who want to go for the weekend there is a casino in Lincoln City (about 15 miles north) as well as a large outlet mall. In Newport (about 15 miles south) there is the Oregon State/Hatfield Marine Science Center and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The Aquarium is where they had Keiko the whale (Free Willy) until he was released. There are numerous motels between the two cities. On Saturday August the 9th [/b]we can have a picnic at Fogerty Creek Park with who ever so desires. A good time to meet/greet/ swap parts and small white lies over a hamburger and the beverage of your choice. Oh by the way the Rogue Brewery is in Newport for those so inclined as well. I will be at the park on Saturday morning and will have a LARGE grill. Not a BBQ but a special made FOMOCO propane grill that can cook an army of burgers. If possible send me a pm and let me know if you can make it to the park and I will bring the paper products, but kind of need to know how many. Hope to see a bunch of folks otherwise I have to eat a bunch of burgers all alone. I am going to post this at FTE and on the main board as well. Hope this works.......PS there is a lighthouse (great photo op with a slick) and tide pools for the kiddies fairly close as well.........Ross

I won't be able to be there as we are having our car show here in Pinehurst that week end. Maybe we can do another one a little later on this year.

Sorry, I'm out. I'll be helping move some furniture, working on some cars, and maybe do a roof this weekend. The summer sure went by fast.

LOL I see some things never change

It was always harder than catching trout with your hands to get a NW GTG

Sorry to hear that Richard. Regardless of the outcome this weekend (seems like there are 5-6 who said they would be there) I will continue to try and get something going. If there are two then it is a success. Gotta start somewhere.

JC: This has been a little like having a party and no one shows up but I am to slow and stupid to give up this easy. I wounder what would happen if we had a "slick swap" and traded parts if that would bring them in. Raffle off a rusty 66 as a door prize........hmmmmmmmmmm

Ross,
I apologize for not making it to the coast Saturday. I had every intention, but...I won't bore you with details.
Sounds like you had a nice turn out. Will look forward to pictures.

Robert: It was a great time. I hope we are able to pull off an even bigger get together in a couple of months. By then Jeff should have his on the road. Lets try to pull something together maybe in December. If you ever want to go to the cafe in Shedd on a Thursday night send me a PM.......Ross
