*6/14/09* Nor Cal "Meet n Drive" Sunday

Who: Mazda enthusiasts
When: Sunday June 14th, 2009
Where: Sacramento-Muirwoods-Back
This event will be a driven meet. All Day Event!
1. Starting point will be the Shell Gas Station Across from the arden fair Mall
-1600 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA‎
-8:00a.m. Leaving promptly at 8:30a.m.
2. First Stop/Pick up for Davis people will be the "In n Out" (shell gasoline is available again)
-1020 Olive Dr, Davis, CA
-9:00a.m. Leaving Promptly at 9:30a.m.
3. Next pick up point will be The rest stop over-looking Vallejo
-10:30a.m.-11:00a.m.
+Vacaville and Fairfield people sorry, but meet us here! Vallejo people
get here from American Canyon Road to West 80
4. From the rest stop we will take the 37 to 101 south arriving in Sausalito.
-Park between "Gabrielson Park"and "Yee Tock Chee Park" Ferry Terminal or
anywhere up and down Bridgeway plenty of parking everywhere.
-Everyone meet at the Yee Tock Chee Park (It's not big i'll make a sign)
-12:00a.m.-12:30p.m. Introductions and discuss lunch location.
5. 12:30p.m. Hopefully everyone has arrived from san fran and we will go eat!
6. From here everyone saddle in! Back to "shoreline" and up "Panoramic" and arrive at "Muir Woods National Monument"
-3:00p.m. Enter the park 4:00p.m. Exit the park (trust me thats plenty of time)
7. Head back out along the "panoramic" North to "Stinson Beach"
-4:30 Till everyone decides to part. This is a fantastic location again for pictures
and just a really fun location to be.
8. We all head home (take highway 1 "shoreline" back to Marin and from there
everyone should be able to get home.)
Here are pictures from the last time I did this it is a blast. Yes it makes for a very long day, but oh what a blast it is!



Yes sorry was on my motorcycle last time, but this will be Mazda anything leaning on Rotary.

^Link for the Website to Muir Woods.
I will be doing this on that date no matter what with my girlfriend anyone is allowed to tag along as this is anywhere in northern California really haha. If you have any suggestions please send me a P.M.
If I see huge interest I may be assembling a phone tree to help this be as fluid and comfortable as possible. For those coming back to sacramento we usually stop at applebee's or wherever looks good when we get super hungry.
Everyone also take in mind that all speed limits will be followed and for "Panoramic" two groups will be made for those who like to go fast and those that just want to enjoy the ride.

This has been posted to the rx7club.com forums as well because they seem to have a much larger crowd. If anyone is part of another mazda forum feel free to post this up there as well.

hmm intriguing. I'm always down for meeting other fellow rotary enthusiasts. Plus a chance to learn about a new photo shoot spot is nice. I'll see if I can get the day off from work

Well I won't be making it. Forgot I had a camping trip the 12th-14th. I might be able to catch up at the Vallejo rest stop, but I doubt it. Was looking forward to try out my new lens too lol.

Well try to make it out if you can.
How many so far, small number, but as stated no matter what I will be doing this so *shrugs* show up or dont haha.
Miles: 200 round trip. So what on the bad side $30 in gas and $10-15 for lunch and another $10-15 for dinner it's not nearly as bad as some are assuming.

Either b4 or after the meet is what I was thinking. But I guess I'll probably have it installed next weekend.

Well, if all else fails, I can help during the meet. I'm going to try and make it. Did mine a while back. Which catback system do you have?

Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it if I don't have it installed by then, and if I can make it to that meet. It's an AP btw.
