I agree with Jim. In-N-Out is next to/part of a huge outlet mall. At 10am there should be plenty of parking in the nearby area if not at In-N-Out. I will have time tomorrow to check it out (and take pics even) if necessary; just let me know.

Scope it Tom! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
BTW, are you going to take group pics this year? I think the Gilroy location may have the largest number of 914's in one place next to the WCC05... |

You wouldn't have unless you were there on a weekend. After business hours (ie: graveyard shift). And then you would be talking to my Ranger with a K9 instead of me. I'm the only one there who knows anything about teeners. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Tom,I used to live in Gilroy Either of the proposed spots will work but I suggest you look on the other side of the freeway by where Kmart used to be.There is also a Mcdonalds right there.parking lot is very open.Big rigs use this parking lot.The people coming down pacheco pass would simply drive over 101 and turn left at the first light.From san jose turn right from freeway and left at light.There is food and gas at any of the proposed sites but I feel that this parking lot will work best for you.

Okay, I'll be down there tomorrow with camera to scope it out around 10ish. Will bring the camera on 4/22 too. Paul: Thanks for the tip; will check out your suggested location tomorrow too. |

Felix:
I checked out the proposed meetup sites at 10am this morning. Option 1: Use In-N-Out near 101 and 152W. I don't think this would be optimal since people arriving from the NW on 152E would have to go north on 101 to the next exit of Leavesley/152W. The parking lot at In-N-Out is okay but not much room for manuevering trailers and the adjacent mall lots were filling up. Option 2: Per Paul's suggestion, meet up on the west side of the 101/152E intersection at the "D Mart" (ex- KMart) parking lot. The drivers from the NW would simply stay on 152E, cross over 101 and D Mart is one light west of 101 on the left and their lot was basically empty; Chestnut is the cross street. Folks from San Jose take the East 10th St. exit off 101S (name of 152E changes when passing over 101). There is a McDonalds on the corner of Chestnut and 10th Ave. and gas in the area. Plenty of room for cars and trailers since there few parking islands. Option 3: Meet up at the Kohl's parking lot near Camino Arroyo and 152E. Camino Arroyo is the signal just before 101; folks from the NW would turn left at Camino Arroyo and Kohl's would be ahead on the right. Folks from San Jose would take the 152E exit and turn right on Camino Arroyo. Food, Starbucks and gas in the immediate area; lot was basically empty and had room for trailers with few parking islands. Because of the easy off/on 101 and plenty of room to park, Option 2 looks the best to me. Below is a pic of the D Mart lot with McD's in the distance. Will also post a pic of Kohl's lot and will post other pics if you want them. Don't know how to post maps like Jeff did, but the Yahoo map link to the area is: http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=zux0o...ew=1&name=&qty= Note that 152E is called "Pacheco Pass Highway" on the map and also you can see the Camino Arroyo area to the east of 101. Later, Attached image(s)

Those spots at McD's look perfect for trailers etc. That has my vote. Quick food and restrooms are a big plus.
I dunno about you guys but I am getting excited. My 914 is back on the road with a bunch of new parts and is in getting an alignment today. Whoohoo! |

Jim, I used to live in selma,Oregon and would drive to brookings on 199 (redwood highway)really nice drive if you are not in a hurry.Been a long time and things change but it would be like most coastal travel depends who is in front of you. Also you would be going through cave junction Home of the Oregon Caves.I guess it is still open. Paul |

Thanks a bunch Tom...those bigger lots seem to be the best choice. Because you have been there, suggest your favorite and lets make this happen. BTW...just right click on the mapquest maps and load them to your computer. They are .gifs usually. Then post them into a message as usual... here you go:

The lot goes deeper to the right and is probably three times that size.I believe that there is two car part stores within walking distance of this site and quite a few new car dealerships in case repairs were needed for your vehicles. For the people that wanted to sleep in and meet everyone there is also a few affordable places to stay in the area as well. Paul |

Below is a view of the rest of the lot by D Mart; Paul is correct - plenty of room! Attached image(s)

Unless anyone objects (with good reasons) location is changed to McDonalds and "D" Mart! I'll post on the other thread...
Thanks Tom and plan an area we can assemble for a quick photo before the 914 mobile mecca... |

Felix: (For continuity, same info below posted on the other NW transit thread)
For pics, lets just plan on parking opposite each other in the area of the DMart lot closest to McD's and work our way toward's the front of DMart; i.e. the location of the above shot. We should try to avoid parking too close to their front door as I would not want to piss them off to much for taking up their spaces, even though its only for an hour or so. Will plan on taking a group pic too. |

A bit late here, but The Cap'n and his shop are midway between Gilroy and Camarillo, more or less, and we'd be happy beyond all belief to have you all stop by on your way through. If it were to be around lunch time, and we knew in advance, I know we could engineer a reasonably priced meal for the weary travellers .......... Santa Maria style tri-tip sandwiches, anyone? Chicken BBQ, Santa Maria style? The Cap'n

Love to stop in Santa Maria and meet the Cap'n. Felix, Jeff and other natives will have to decide if that will work.

That would be Great Capn...what a treat...
Being from the Bay area, I am not that familar with Santa Maria or specifically the road to get there... I defintely should not lead the pack down there...But Mapquest says its quite a haul: 185 miles...3 hours+1 minute (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) Thats a bit over 60 mph average...can the trailer crew make that pace or is that unrealistic...? And 3 hours strong puts us there @ 2-2:30 ish if we leave Gilroy at 10:00am pronto...kind of a late lunch...What do yall think? Attached image(s)

Craig is tow dollying and he can make 60 with ease. If we leave at 10 we should be there at 1:30 allowing 30 minutes for a midway stop.
The Pacific NW/Canada group can be in Gilroy by 9:30 easily if we leave Stockton at 7:30. Only 118 more miles to Camarillo from Santa Maria. |
