Do you have any locations in mind? Or is it an open forum right now? Where ever should be fun. I enjoy hangin out with the datsun guys,,

[Pacific coast Datsun]

If i remember right the event last year was awesome w/ a great turnout.

[Nissan_Boy85]

Sounds fun. If it's close enough I'll be there.

[pklotz70]

Thanks for the heads up. I put it on the calendar and most likely will need to keep up on the information for Mike. He has too many other details to keep track of, so this is something that I can do for him.

[Guest DatsuNoob]

I'll be there this year. Still truckless, but let's shoot for next year on that one ;)

Last year it was in DesMoines. About 2.25 hours from Portland.

 

We can discuss location in this forum. I think another BBQ would be good so probably no open parking lots. :D a park bench or two would be nice.

[damon]

last years event was at Saltwater state park in Des Moines ,Wa. which is just about maybe 5 miles south of SeaTac airport.

hmm, i might have to make the treck lol. the Z is a trooper tho, i go to medford/ashland all the time from the Portland area and it never fails me :thumbsup:

[Guest Rick-rat]

How about Millersvania state park, just south of Olympia sound, they have group day use spots avaiable

[rat tail dragger]

[Icehouse]

I'm in!!! I'll bring PB and J, well and one J :D I liked were it was last year.

[Llittle_Llama]

i would like to suggest a location..... tyler texas, i hear the have great...ummmmm.... damn, we are...... theres lots of parking :o

[Bleach]

Tyler Texas!?! why not the middle of the desert! :D oh wait...

[ggzilla]

Tyler, Texas would be good. We could meet at the east texas oil museum. Then have road run to Sonic for banana splits.

 

But somewhere between Portland and Seattle would be better. What about Centralia? It is halfway.

Ive been there once for a Family reunion a couple of years ago. Nice place. Its about 15 to 20min off I 5. And the road is pretty decent.

Point Defiance park would be cool too. For those of you who haven't been there (Tacoma, WA), 5 mile drive would be a fun little loop for all of us. There's tons of places to stop and hang out, picnic areas, plenty of parking, and it's a very scenic place for a cruise. Japanese Pagoda (I've always wanted to get a picture of my truck there with that in the background), rose gardens, Fort Nisqually, etc. Just an idea.

I intend on keeping this event close to Seattle and not to be midway to Portland.

 

Tacoma is probably about as far south as I would prefer for the location. Thanks for the suggestions though.
