SO CAL/SD feeler meet thread!

[R1 Chris]

ok we still dont have a time .. morning ,afternoon what is it. i have to work but i will try to get off or just come after work.

 

[Outburst]

Like I said. Most of the information will be up this weekend. That way I can give you guys 3 weeks advance.

The time will most likely be around 12PM if its good weather. I'll probably be there early to take some spots for our trucks.

If it's bad weather, I'll be trying to figure out something to do and a time to do it. It'll be the same day. Luckily I have all saturday open to figure out everything.

 

[Outburst]

So I have a proposal. I want us to meet at Doheny State Beach but I couldn't actually check it out today because of the insane rain.

Can anyone actually do some research for me and see what it costs to reserve some spots over at their campgrounds near the beach?

You comin to the meet daniel?

Thats basically the plan. I doubt we'll need to reserve anything [middle of march, highly doubt it] but ill call in the morning to double check. Is everyone okay with 15 bucks just for parking or not okay with that? If not I also have a backup plan but it's also a different location.

Basically a nice windy and mountainy road trip in SD. Us with radios and trying to go as fast as we can safely and surely. I can plan the route if you all want to do that instead. afterwards we can hit up a bar or a place to eat and just sit back and check out each others trucks somewhere in SD.

Updated OP information.

 

[djcsx-runner]

yeah im planing on coming was just waiting to see were the thread headed as far as place and time the wife and i will probably get a hotel and hang out with you SD guys for the night

 

[Gutz]

I'll do mu' best to go...

 

[jimmyboi]

outburst you find anything out?

i'm excited about this thing. i wanna meet other xr drivers!

 

[Outburst]

If we wanna go to dana point, it'll cost around 20-30 dollars per truck. That includes parking and reservation only.

If we meet somewhere else and then maybe do a nice mountain drive then go to the strand, PB or coronado here in SD, it'll cost less.

I gave out different plans. I'll put up a poll right now what you guys wanna do.

Edit:
Poll added.

 

[Gutz]

Plan B... :canada: :rockon:

 

[J_StradaXR]

[sdxrunner619]
