Castle Island is in South Boston, nowhere near Harvard.

Yup, Castle Island is in South Boston. Thanks, HolyCross05!

Genjuromikos, that park in Salem looks pretty nice. We probably should go there for our next meet?

If all goes well, a meet at Castle Island should be fun. I'm sure many other people will check out our cars and we'll all absolutely love the attention!

^^ prlly best. Looks like Sunday is best for anyone w/a preference. Let's do 7/22 with 7/29 as a rain date.

10) genjuromikos (any Sun)


Looks like the majority of you guys prefer a Sunday meet. How about Sun 07/22 as the official meet date and Sun 07/29 as a backup/rain date? I know that it seems so far out, but it's just five weeks. Hopefully, it'll give RPIRX-8 (and maybe other folks, too) enough time to put all the goodies on their rides before the meet.

Please let us know what you think...

TruthRX8, I may go there (Castle Island) this weekend (Sat & Sun) to check it out.

Guys,

I'm gonna drive over to Castle Island tomorrow (~11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.) to see how crowded the parking lot is and report back here.

I think everyone's agreed on 07/22.

I won't be able to make the 7/22 meet but hope you guys have fun. Hopefully we can do a run before the end of summer.

Holy you better be coming to the NH Car show in Aug.
Right now I'm still unsure on coming (I do wish to come though). My job right now is just kinda messed up (being retail and all). But again I'll try to make it.

Guys,

There were plenty of parking spaces yesterday at Castle Island. Dunno whether people went away on their long weekend or something...or maybe it's the overcast that kept them away.

Anyway, I'll stop by Castle Island this Sunday again and will let everyone know what time we should meet up. Right now, I still think we should meet up around 11:00 a.m. as people tend to come here a little later in the afternoon.

It's really easy to get there. It's right off I-93 (Exit 15) and about 2-2.5 miles from the exit. It's hard to get lost. If anyone needs my cell phone #, just PM me. Btw, watch your speed around there because there's a State Police barrack on the way in (between Castle Island and I-93); they drive up and down that road.

Im ready for 7/22 at any time. To answer redshinka, castle island is about 15min south of boston. I figured we might stay a couple hours or more.
Not to throw anyone off, we should still meet at castle island. Just to mention it,
F1 boston is only 5-10 minutes from castle island if we get bored. It would make a fun ride up there too. Anybody care?

You'll be driving on 93 and you'll probably get stuck in traffic on your way there.

You must have missed the memo - don't drive in Boston! Everything about it sucks*!
