ROC and Cruisin' the Coast 2009

Cruisin the Coast will be Oct 4-11 this year and we would like to put something together for ROC on Saturday Oct 10th. It will give us a chance to get the ROC members together and allow us to see all the old car at the same time. There will be over 20,000 car register for the week. There will be lots of food and plenty of activity. Come join us for a day of fun and recreation. This will allow ROC to make there mark at Cruisin the Coast this year....:)

Here is the flyer: ROC and Cruisin the Coast 2009 (http://members.cox.net/hon-e/gulfcoastridgelinerally-cruisinthecoast2009.shtml)

I'm looking for a SELF CONTAINED TRAILER.:) I know djeaux will like this. I look forward to meeting more ROC enthusiast.:D

Just to clarify a little, Cruisin' the Coast is a major street rod event that has been held annually on the Mississippi Coast for many years. As Tony's pointed out, there will be around 20,000 street rods of all types from classic '30s coupes to Cobra kit cars to old Nash Ramblers. You name it. There are "venues" all along the Coast with cars constantly on display, guys cruising Highway 90 (the beach road) between points, etc. At night, there are sock hops, drag races, and this year, drag boat races on Gulfport Lake.

Anyone cruisin' in for the ROC rally is just a spectator, and spectating is free. For the record, in order to officially register a vehicle made after 1981, there must be documentation of "major modifiications" in five of the following categories: wheels, paint, body, engine, exhaust, drive train, suspension (lower or raise), or interior. Frankly, I'm not sure more than a hand full of ROCsters would qualify. But that's not our plan.

Thousands of spectators turn out & anybody can "cruise." Which is our plan -- to have a good meal (as in crustaceans and molluscs), drive down the beach road & enjoy the scenery, and see some seriously tricked out rides.

This will be the 2nd Annual ROC Cruisin' the Coast rally, of course ;)

Here are some pics I took at C-the-C a couple of years ago...

And a few more...

And some more!

And one for the weirdos (one of my personal faves)!

Bump to get this to the top of the New Posts!

You guys in Mississippi, Alabama, and Lousiana -- this is a great event & a day trip for those along the Gulf Coast proper. There will be lodging available in spite of all the street rodders & you guys with casino comps can cash 'em in! (I can suggest camp grounds for those who are so inclined.)

Special announcement!
There will be valuable door prizes! You must "preregister" using the survey above, and you must be present to win!

(Trailer not included. All models over 18. No animals harmed in production of the door prizes.)

Here's a bump, I can't wait to see what Joe is going to come up with for a door prize. He surprised me with this, but I think it is a great idea. There is still plenty of time to put us on your calendar in October. Try to fits us in, we would really like to have a great turnout.

OK Fellas (& Gals),
I'll be there . . . I'm coming from sunny So Cal., and haven't been down your way since I was stationed at Biloxi way back when (1972). We'll probably be staying in a hotel/motel somewhere, but if you can recommend a good campground, that would be good backup info to have. I'll be on a multi-week road trip with my wife, and we'll be swinging down from up around Tennesee way. (did I spell that right?)
Hope to see you then, keep posting info on where & when for the ROC gathering. We don't have a fixed schedule for our whole trip yet, but I'm using the gulf coast ROC date as one of the guiding dates.
:o) Dnick

Well Dnick, I am surprised, but I am very happy that you will be spending time with us. I did send you a couple of PM and I await your reply. I'm sure you know cruisin the coast will have many many people on the coast so you might want to lock something in soon. You can always cancel if you find something better. On the link below the flyer will guide you to the link of hotels on the beach. I sure hope more local can get involved. This could be the best turn yet.

Great photos!

Just a heads up -- you probably will want to make hotel reservations about now, because the street rodders really do fill the place up. When you have 10,000-20,000 cars (registered & just cruisin'), it means a pile of people!

For a list of campgrounds in the vicinity, see this link (http://www.camping-usa.com/campgrounds/mississippi/biloxi/). Some are better than others, as you know. I live literally a couple hundred yards from the dam at Flint Creek Water Park in Wiggins (about 25 miles north of Biloxi). I don't recommend Bluff Creek due to the "redneck factor." Shepard State Park in Gautier is good. Gulf Islands National Seashore on Davis Bayou in Ocean Springs is excellent & features exhibits through the US Park Service & Gulf Coast Research Lab. Buccaneer State Park in Waveland is supposed to have some camper pads open (Katrina whacked them), but that is very close to one of the main "venues" for Cruisin' the Coast.

There is also a KOA-type campground right off I-10 at Highway 57 (Vancleave) that is literally in the backyard of The Shed, which is a finalist in the national BBQ competition sponsored by Good Morning America. The Shed is that has pretty heavy bar traffic until closing time on Friday & Saturday nights & will likely have a live band. (This can be either good or bad depending on how thirsty you are & how much you like blues music ;)) I suspect it will be packed during Cruisin', as it's only a few miles from the Ocean Springs venue.

For hotels, the "cheaper" places along US 49 into Gulfport (e.g., Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn, etc) are extremely popular with cruisers. You'd have to check on bookings. The casinos on the Biloxi strip are unlikely to fill up. Rates are variable, but if you're interested PM me & I can see what might be done on "comps" as I have contacts at the Beau Rivage (MGM/Mirage).

You will definitely win the Long Haul Trucker Award for this one, so it looks like my Uncle Lucco will have to lean on some "sponsors" for more prizes :D

Lookin' forward to meeting you in Octember!

Its great to know I qualify, but I've taken all the time off I could afford to recovery from my knee replacement surgery. :( Maybe next year. :cool:

Uncle Lucco can help you out. Does one of his boys need to go "talk" with your boss?

(Dang, I'm playing entirely too much "Mafia Wars" on Facebook! :D)

Rusty are you sure you can't make it. We would really love for you to come. I know it is a long haul but when was the last time you were in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast? Maybe this is your time.. Anyway it would be great to see you

Bump! You guys over in Mobile & the Florida Panhandle need to get with the program!

I would love to be in attendance, but that weekend is already booked - 15th wedding anniversary being spent in Cape San Blas in a St Joseph's State Park waterfront cabin. Maybe next year!

And to think I could have gotten you a comp on the Honeymoon Suite at the Beau Rivage Casino Resort... ;)

hey ill be there but wont be in the Ridge.

hey ill be there but wont be in the Ridge.

Well, just let us know. I'm sure somebody can use a shotgun rider!

Update: My man at the Beau Rivage informed me this afternoon that there are now no available rooms for October 9 or 10.

Here is the Form: (http://members.cox.net/hon-e/email.htm)

[B]Wont be able to go this year, but to get you in the mood with antique cars. We want to share our pictures with you from Eureka Springs, AR on Sept. 12th We really had a great time and thanks to LarryLR we were able to share with you on your great trip coming.

Go to:http://picasaweb.google.com/BCPerres/EurekaSpringsAR

have a great time.

I have completed the form. I will be leaving my S2000 gathering in Colorado on 10-05 and heading your way, will towing my S. Not sure will arrive there 10-08/09. See everyone there.

Change of plans. We will not be able to join in this event!!! Too bad, would have been nice to hang out and enjoy all the vehicles.

You folks enjoy!

I am hoping to go but I don't know if I have the money to make it until Tuesday. :confused: :confused: I cannot find any rooms I can afford in the area.

Might have to stay in Slidell, LA or Mobile, AL to afford to get there.

Hey Larryr,I found a couple of places in Moss Point @ the Holiday Inn Express.Web site price was $81.90 per night.Heres there number 1-228-474-2100 good luck

Larry, see if there are rooms at the Best Western in Wiggins, MS. That's my hometown and it's about 30 min (easy) driving to either Gulfport or Biloxi. Wiggins is on US 49 between Hattiesburg & the coast.

I'd offer you a room, but frankly we don't have one to offer & the floor is, um, kinda funky. Dog, you know :D

Anyone interested in camping can try contacting Flint Creek Water Park in Wiggins. They have very nice cabins (3/2 on a 600 acre lake) for $75/nite.

OPEN LETTER TO RIDGELINE2006:

Have you worked up an itinerary? Do we want to meet in Ocean Springs first & work westward to the venues -- Edgewater Mall & the old VA hospital on US 90 are known to me -- or do we want to meet west and work east toward Ocean Springs & the Shed?

I will be working on the door prizes next week, folks. That's right -- plural. We have some serious participation showing up (for a Southeastern meet) and I'm going to take it seriously. Hope everyone likes Hondas...

I was able to get a single king room for $59 in Moss Point.

I will be driving up from FL on the 9th, are we going to have a central meeting point?

I am working on the itinerary right now. Soon as I run it by the committee I will post it. Thanks to all who has made the commitment. This should be a good time. Watch for new posting.

I just checked with Flint Creek Water Park, which is located in Wiggins MS approximately 25 miles north of Gulfport/Biloxi. If you are traveling to the Coast from the north on U.S. 49, Wiggins is about midway between Hattiesburg and Gulfport. This park features a 600 acre lake. It is located inside the city limits. (For those who are interested & understand the mores of the Deep South, Wiggins is "wet for beer" but the county is "dry.")

At present, there are still two "camphouses" available for the October 9-10 weekend. They are $50/night but may be a little closer to "roughing it" than some of you might prefer. The are air conditioned and have cable TV.

"These cabins are ONE ROOM with 2 sets of full size bunk beds, a kitchenette that includes a “dorm” size refrigerator, small stove/oven, kitchen sink with some cabinet space. 1 bath w/shower only. Heat/air unit, coffee pot, 1 TV w/ Cable, picnic table with benches inside and out. BBQ Grill. These bunkhouses are waterfront C-1, C2, C3 are most popular because they sit on the point with the lake directly in front of them. Most bunkhouses have boat accessibility. Odd numbers on left – even numbers on right."

Park Website (http://www.phwd.net/parks/flint%20creek/default.asp) -- scroll down for reservation info. The park can take reservations for conventional trailer/tent camping directly, but there is a toll-free number for cabin rentals.

Oh, a final note... My house is located roughly 300 yards from the front gate of the park ;)

We are working on the Itinerary and we will post soon

Here is the plan and this may change but for now this is what we hope to do.....

ROC Rally Itinerary







10:30am - McElroy's on the Bayou Parking Lot

11:30 - 12:00 - McElroy's on the Bayou for Lunch

2:30pm - Ride to Gulf Islands National Seashore on Davis Bayou in Ocean Springs for ROC Photos

3:30pm - til - Edgewater Mall or somewhere we can park our Truck together and view Cruisin the Coast

The wife said I can go - So I will be attending.

A couple of follow ups...

McElroy's On the Bayou is located right on Highway 90 in Ocean Springs. It is only a few blocks to walk to the downtown area, which is a major Cruisin' the Coast venue. McElroy's has very good po-boys -- I recommend the shrimp, oyster, or half-n-half myself. If you are a bigger eater, their fried or broiled flounder is always excellent, although it may be a bit much for lunch. The view of Fort Bayou from the back is very nice. Weather permitting, we can hope the deck is open!

For a map, see this link (http://local.yahoo.com/info-15221584-mc-elroy-s-on-the-bayou-ocean-springs).

McElroy's is on the north side of U.S. 90 on the Ocean Springs side of the Biloxi Bay Bridge, just before you reach Washington Ave (which is the road back north to I-10).

From the west (Biloxi direction), cross the bridge and follow U.S. 90 for about 3/8ths of a mile. When the road curves to the east, start looking on your left. If you reach the Washington Ave light, you need to turn around. I'm not sure about cross-overs any more.

From the east (Pascagoula/Mobile direction), when you reach Washington Ave (look for the I-10 signs), keep going straight another couple hundred yards. It will be on the right.

From I-10, east or west, take the Ocean Springs exit and head south. When you reach U.S. 90, hang a right & McElroy's will be on the right a couple hundred yards.

Anybody coming in from the north (via Jackson & US 49) can feel free to give me a PM to get my cell number. I live about 25 miles north of Gulfport right off US 49.

Here is what is on the Itinerary!!! 13 Days to go

http://members.cox.net/hon-e/gulfcoastridgelinerally-cruisinthecoast2009.shtml

Too far for me to drive for one afternoon. If you guys would have added a few more events and stretched it out over a couple of days I would definitely be there!!l

If I knew that stretching it out for a couple of days would have you make the trip, I don't have a problem with that. It would give us more time to be together and those who want to stay, can stay. Let me know if you really would?

We talked about going to LA for a 3 day weekend and then buzz over to your meet on Saturday. Guess what, Shrimp Festival weekend. Not a one BR condo available on the beach. Probably the same with your event that week end. Guess we will pass!! Economy must be doing better than I thought!!!

11 Days to go! Well I am sad that you can't make it Duncan. There is quite a few hotel rooms left, in fact I have two rooms reserved and I guess I will cancel one of them as we get near the 10th. Well I am happy we have this many that are coming. Sure wish you could be there. This will be fun can't wait.

Picked up the wife's copy of Southern Living today and opened it up to a nice article on "cruising the coast". I had no idea it was a week long event!!

It is big anywhere from 20k to 30k cars will cruise the coast. It not to late I have two hotel rooms, one has your name on it. Food, Cars, Trucks, Bikes and of course ROC what more can you ask for........

9 Days and counting

I want you guys who are waffling to bear in mind that I gave up tickets to see the Alabama vs Ole Miss game for this! (OK, I am not giving up my tickets for LSU vs Ole Miss for anything! :D)

Remember, you must be present to win!

BUMP!

Be there!

If I can drive 650 miles to get here - you can too.

Fla-Vyk is coming almost as far.

What is your excuse?

Only one week to D day

8 Days Away

Way to go guys, this Rally could be big. 13 is great but I set my goals high. I truly hope more will attend. Dash Plaques will be given to all that attend and there will be special awards too. I am grateful for those who have committed to attend, I am looking forward to next Saturday. Thanks for all the bumps guys. This couldn't happen without you.

Man I can't wait.This next week is going to just Drag by sooo slowly.

Here are a couple of links of interest to those who are coming to Cruisin' (and maybe those who aren't). The local newspaper and TV station (ABC affiliate) will have special reports all week. Today's Sun-Herald front page feature is about Cruisin' as well as other events happening this weekend. (The official opening for Cruisin' will be at 3 PM at the Hardy Court Shopping Center, which is the parking lot behind the restaurant where we met last year for our mini-meet.

Sun-Herald (http://www.sunherald.com/)

WLOX-TV (http://www.wlox.com/)

7 days and counting!

If anybody is coming in Friday, let me know. Maybe we could have an "unofficial" pre-party party & do some blues & BBQ.

(Mainly an excuse to BUMP the thread ... and up my post count! :D)

I'm coming in Friday,taking my dad to his brothers house and need to spend some with them,but keep us posted if any one else shows up early i could change my plans.

OK THIS IS THE DEAL, LSU WON, HOPEFULLY THE SAINTS WILL WIN THIS AFTERNOON AND WE ARE PRAYING TO HAVE GREAT WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND OF CRUISING THE COAST! I am looking forward to meeting some more of the ROC members. I WILL BE WATCHING THE LSU FLORIDA GAME SATURDAY NIGHT AT 7:00P.M. GO TIGERS! :)

Dem Saints came through................................GO SAINTS!

Hoping Weather gets better would like to clean up the ridge before I head over. :)

Well the weather doesn't look to promising. They are saying rain on Saturday. I hope they are wrong. All we need is one good day.

Well the weather doesn't look to promising. They are saying rain on Saturday. I hope they are wrong. All we need is one good day.

We had "rain" today -- very early -- and it was cloudy to partly cloudy the rest of the day. Worst case scenario, I hope that's what happens. Best case scenario would be like the "rain" we had yesterday -- clear blue skies with rain well after dark!

I will be participating in the ancient Biloxi Indian reverse rain dance daily for the rest of the week.

THIS I've got to see - can you do that at our next Smokies meet? :)

THIS I've got to see - can you do that at our next Smokies meet? :)

Of course. But it will be the Cherokee Indian reverse rain dance if I do it there.

(This isn't original. When I was in high school, I was staff at the Boy Scout summer camp. The camp director would dance an "authentic" rain dance backwards every Wednesday morning, Wednesdays being family visit day.)

[QUOTE=djeaux;440906]Of course. But it will be the Cherokee Indian reverse rain dance if I do it there.

How much "firewater" is required to get you to perform the dance?;)

How much and what brand do you like?:D

Hi all

Currently west of Monroe LA, heading home. Will drive up on Friday? Are there any plans for Friday evening?

Vick, We can figure something out for Friday night, because there will be some folks already here. If you get the chance PM your cell number to me. And check your messages for mine :)

Yep - you gotta love them Saints. You can Thank San Diego for giving away Drew Brees (sp?). Seems like I always live where the dumbest NFL owners are (was in Anaheim/LA area when Rams first let Eric Dickerson get away, and then moved out of town for St Louis!).
Soooo, we're in Nashville tonight. Will be spending Friday night in Pensacola, Fla. Anything interesting to do there??? Advice is welcome on how to spend the afternoon/evening. We'll probably have around 5 or 6000 miles behind us on this road trip by the time we roll into Biloxi. Have been pleasantly surprised by the over-the-road gas mileage. Has been reliably above 22 MPG for speeds below 70. Hasn't been below 18 1/2 MPG, even in the norther most states with 75mph limits (moving along about 80).
'Looking forward to meeting you all & getting a look at Biloxi, which I haven't seen since 1972, when I spent a few months there in the USAF. See you there!
Dan (Dnick) & Denise :)

For the record, the Vicari Motorsports Auto Auction will be going on at the Coast Coliseum (on Highway 90). There will be a mega swap meet at the Coliseum as well.

There will be live music at the Downtown Ocean Springs, D'Iberville Municipal Complex, Edgewater Mall, and Bay St. Louis venues. Our meeting site for lunch is within walking distance of the O.S. downtown area & given parking that might be a thought...

I will be scouting a little either tomorrow or Thursday. More reports once the spies return. (One spy, my neighbor, stopped by today to show off his new "cruiser" -- a 2010 Camaro! :))

BTW,
What do I get if I bring our San Diego weather with us???
Dnick :D

So,
We're staying at the Best Western Cypress Creek in Ocean Springs on Saturday night. How close is that to where we'll be getting together?

So,

Dnick

Pretty close. That hotel is actually in North Biloxi (D'Iberville), if Google Maps is correct. You'll be about 2 miles north of the I-10/Hwy 67 interchange (which is I-110 to the south). Good area. From that exit to the Ocean Springs exit is about 2 miles & then it's another couple of miles from the interstate down to Highway 90. Alternatively, you can take I-110 straight down to Highway 90 & head east toward Ocean Springs.

Four more days

Its not to late

PLEASE PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT RAIN. TONY'S RIDGELINE HAS NEVER SEEN THE LIQUID STUFF THAT COMES FROM THE SKY. I'M looking forward to meeting you guy's. GO LSU.:)

So far, I've had three out-of-staters contact me about getting together on Friday night. If you will be on the Coast Friday night, send me a PM with your cell number. I am thinking just some eatery like TGI Fridays (at the I-10/US 49 interchange in Gulfport or the I-10/I-110 interchange in North Biloxi). Another possibility would be either The Shed (BBQ) at I-10/Miss. 57 in Vancleave east of Ocean Springs or The Shed on Miss. 53 about 5 miles north of I-10 off Highway 49 in Gulfport.

But I'm open to suggestions & there will be some cool stuff at the casinos as well as big buffets. I think the Coasters are playing one night. Most of the C-the-C events are '50s style stuff... So if you PM me, state your preference for either easy access and low key or the bright lights on casino row.

2 DAYS AND COUNTING

One day if you're going to be at the pre-party.

26 ½ hours!

Pre-pre-party planning to commence in about six hours ;)

Back at El Ranko Motel, a couple more show up for the pre-pre-party (aka hanging around the motel). Fla-Vyk phoned me from the parking lot & said, I'm parked by three blue Ridgelines & a white one! Then the Tide rolled in & we had an SEC trifecta of LSU, Bama, and Ole Miss. (Left to right: Fla-Vyk, Lex Luthor, Ridgeline2006, larryr, djeaux, and Rolltide)

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02590.JPG

The obligatory nose shot, same line up as above. I should've taken one when all the hoods were open -- four of the six have painted engine covers.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02591.JPG

Sorry about this last one. I was backed up to the wall of the motel next door & couldn't get a wider shot.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02592.JPG

Larryr & I headed out because we had longer drives to our respective evening abodes. The others are heading to the Isle of Capri casino for the pre-party (aka casino buffet). We're expecting nine more Ridgelines tomorrow & I took a call from Starfixer, who was desperately waiting for parole, er, closing time at work! More pics tomorrow & there will be TONS of street rod pics, too. We haven't even gotten into "ground zero" for the Cruisin' the Coast festivities ... yet!

READY TO ROC THE COAST!

More pics. We ended up with nine trucks. I got individual photos of eight of them (sorry Tony). Here goes with those first...

(below left) FMS1 & Mrs. FMS1 came all the way from Shreveport LA in their new (Canadian-built) mocha metallic 2009 RTL Nav. (This is a sweet truck & a dead-on match for my Mrs. Djeaux's 2009 Pilot EX-L RES! She didn't attend, which probably saved me a cool $35K!) The FMS1's attended our Cruisin' the Coast mini-meet last year, so we had all of last years attendees returning!

(below right) Mr. & Mrs. Dnick won our long distance award (a plaque, BTW) for driving in from San Diego to represent the SoCal Chapter of ROC. If you want to know how much stuff you can cram in a Ridgeline bed, ask them!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02596.JPG http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02605.JPG

(below left) Lex Luthor's "people's choice" award winner, sporting new Wet Okole headliner & armrests, which nobody else in the world has! (Note LSU Tiger doll on the dashboard!)

(below right) Rolltide rolled in from Warner-Robbins GA & raised the question whether steel blues come from the factory with hood scoops! This is a tricked out truck that gets driven in the woods huntin' & fishin'.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02597.JPG http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02598.JPG

Keep those posts and pictures coming. Have a blast on your trip.:D:D

And now for the WHITE RIDGELINE OWNERS CLUB. I didn't get an individual pic of Ridgeline2006's truck, but it is white, too...

(below left) From Cajun Country in Lafayette LA, starfixer. This truck has a lighting system that will make any firefighter jealous. It is also very handy to have a "LEO" type vehicle in anybody's ROC caravan! The cab of this ride looks like a state trooper's vehicle. Starfixer has a cool little dragon chrome emblem that I thought Fla-Vyk was going to pry off the truck. After all, Vic has driven The Dragon!

(below right) Fla-Vyk drove in from Flagler Beach FL in his "farm truck" after making a solo run to Colorado in his S2000. Vic was at the 2009 Combo National in Pigeon Forge this summer & it was super to see him again! His truck now features chrome mirrors & door handles.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02599.JPG http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02600.JPG

(below left) Coming in from Bentonville AR, the inimitable larryr was showing off his Alabama-built 2009 RTL. Larry & I split off the rest of the crew & headed north for home a little early. Another Pigeon Forge Combo Nationals attendee, even if he was driving a Civic Hybrid then. He had returned from the Dark Side!

(below right) Yours truly. The Great White Wonder. Also the only non-RTL in attendance. I have the nicest wheels, though!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02601.JPG http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02603.JPG

I do apologize to Tony (Ridgeline2006) for not getting a shot of his truck while walking the line at the restaurant... Suffice to say, it is a WHITE Ridgeline with just about every Honda accessory known to humankind installed on it! A great truck & a great guy. Our organizer & instigator.

Ridgeline2006 (Tony) was Mister Photography for this gathering. Here he is coordinating individual shots at the restaurant before lunch. He will be posting about 210,000 pictures when he gets home & douses Lex Luthor with ice water before the LSU-Florida game!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02602.JPG

The line-up at McElroy's on the Bayou.

"Not a Ridgeline Owner"...

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02604.JPG

"Pagan Pride Day" (you go figure) kept us off the boat ramp at the Gulf Islands National Seashore park, but here's the line-up under the live oak trees. (left-to-right: Fla-Vyk, djeaux, FMS1, Lex Luthor, Dnick, Rolltide, Starfixer, Larryr & Ridgeline2006. The person driving the Ford in the background is a benighted soul, but his girlfriend looked cute in the bikini!)

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02607.JPG

Some more pics from the Gulf Islands park. Evidently, Tony's trying to coordinate another set of pictures. Document this thing! Document this thing! (For the record, those chopped off looking trees are a legacy from Hurricane Katrina. There was 10-15 feet of storm surge in this area, along with 180-200 mph wind!)

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02608.JPG

Mrs. Dnick (far left) keeps an eagle eye on a bunch of trucks.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02609.JPG

Starfixer (center) explains to FMS1 (right) why the factory cold intake scoop on Rolltide's (left) truck is essential to making an aftermarket intake work properly. Four of the five trucks had painted engine covers & Rolltide has gone the extra mile with the cold air scoop, fuse box cover & "secret" high performance mod. (If anything Ridgeline owners are innovative & inveterate DIYers!) And for the record, FMS1 is wearing one of djeaux's special door prizes -- a "Powered by Honda" cap!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02612.JPG

Hoods up time! (Left-to-right: Fla-Vyk, djeaux, FMS1, Lex Luthor & a bunch of folks standing in front of Dnick's long-haul trucker.)

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02614.JPG

Another line-up shot under the live oaks. Folks, we were parked about 100 yards from the Gulf of Mexico in an area with gorgeous salt marshes & probably the only place in the world with turtle-crossing warning signs! (Right-to-left: Fla-Vyk, djeaux, FMS1, Lex Luthor, Dnick, Rolltide, Starfixer, Larryr & Ridgeline2006)

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02617.JPG

Tony (Ridgeline2006) dashes to the line for the group shot. He'll have to post that ... he worked hard on it! This is "the man," even if Jimmy (Lex Luthor) got the best-in-show award.

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02618.JPG

Larryr does the honors in our "swap meet." FMS1 wanted "ole style" amber lights on his 2009 & Starfixer wanted "new style" all-red lights on his 2006, so... Larry got 'em all fixed up! Folks, Larryr is a certified (or "certifiable") genius. Such a great, great guy to have around!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02619.JPG

The other half of the swap meet...

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RDSC02620.JPG

For the record, Larryr has also swapped out his "new style" 2009 all-red lights for "ole style" lights. So the big question of the afternoon was, "Who has a 10mm socket?"

Great job Joe, you should be doing a syndicated column or at least have an anchor job on Fox News!!;) Keep the pics and info coming. Wife is going to live after a few doses of TAMIFLU and I am on 1 TAMIFLU a day for prevention.:) Say goodbye to $200 bucks for 20 pills!!!:(

One last pic... As I posted early in this thread, there were door prizes. A cap, water bottle, some "cruiser" Hot Wheels & Ridgeline Hot Wheels were awarded. But Tony also had cool aluminum dash plaques for everyone & special awards for the long distance attendees (Mr. & Mrs. Dnick) & a "best in show" that was determined by popular vote.

Here's Tony (Ridgeline2006) on the right awarding the plaque to Jimmy (Lex Luthor)...

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/RSC02622.JPG

Now, from the park one contingent (Ridgeline2006, Lex Luthor, Rolltide & Starfixer) headed west into the heart of Cruisin' country on the Biloxi strip. Fla-Vyk headed east back to Florida & Larryr and I headed north for home. Tony has a ton more photos he'll post & I'm sure others will post theirs. This was a lot of fun & great fellowship.

THANKS TO THOSE
WHO MADE THE MEET!

For those of you who missed it, we are already planning Cruisin' the Coast 2010 & it will be bigger & better. The crew present included folks from the SoCal, Gulf Coast, Southeast, and Mid-South Chapters & everyone "represented" well! Fun weekend!

Well what can I say. What a nice turn out even with the threat of rain, and plenty rain. So many stories to tell, I will try to tell as many as I can. First I want to thank everyone for show up nine trucks out of thirteen expecting to be there. Special thanks to Joe (Djeaux) and Jimmy (Lex Luthor) for all their help. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

I have many pictures that I will put on a webpage link so everyone can see them. I just need a little time to put them together. All those who took pictures please email them to me so I can put together for the website. My email address is at the bottom of the page so please use it to get the pictures to me.

Think the Meet went great, had a great time and was nice to see what the others have done to their ridge. Was a nice blend of the daily drivers and those whom until this meet had never, never ever even seen rain.:)
Think it turned out really good and am already looking forward to next years meet, and possibly mini meets in between....hint hint.:D

WOW!!!!!! Awesome pics and it sounds like you guys had a great time. Although I have to question the legitimacy of this meet....not one Black Ridgeline!?!?!?! :D

Did anyone get any good pics of Lex Luthors interior. I'd love to see the Wet Okle headliner and arm rests.

I can only hope we get as many trucks to our upcoming Phoenix meet in November (Shameless plug here)

Anyway, keep the pics coming, it gives all of us who couldn't be there ourselves a chance to see what we're missing. :D

OK we will get some interior pictures of Lex Luthor as soon as we can. Here is one page of more to come. The faces that go with the Ridgelines. I will have more up tomorrow. Just the beginning.

I have added this to my favorites folder so I can keep checking back and put faces to names, ect... Thank you Tony! (see, it's helping already:D)

WOW, I HAD A BALL! I would like to thank Ridgeline2006, Tony and Djeaux, Joe for organizing this event. We had fun. I really tend to be shy at times but meeting people that enjoy thier Ridgelines is fun. I had an opportunity to have dialog with Dan & Denise from California who are getting ready to spend some time in the FRENCH QUARTER in New Orleans. I also had an opportunity to hook up my new buddy, VIC with some NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS and FRIED CATFISH :). Rolltide, Phil and I talked about Alabama football and LSU. Florida did dominate LSU and FLORIDA is a GREAT TEAM! LSU and ALABAMA will be another great match up. I would like to thank DJEAUX for adding my newest mod under my hood. I also enjoyed talking with Eddie and Karen, some Shreveport Louisiana homies. I also enjoyed talking with another home boy Starfixer, Robert and enjoyed watching him and Eddie with the SWAP SHOP on tail light exchange. I enjoyed meeting LarryR and finding out that he knows something about everything. LarryR is VERY knowledgeable about Honda products and computers. I am seeking advice and help for my good buddy TONY. I witnessed Tony speaking to his IMMACULATELY CLEAN 2006 RIDGELINE and saying " I'm SORRY YOU HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE IN THIS RAIN!" Yes, the ROC members that attended this event were witnesses to TONY'S RIDGELINE getting rained on for the first time! In conclusion, TONY YOU ARE REALLY DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some really nice pics guys! Those trucks look fantastic and it's nice to put faces with the names. Looks like everyone had a great time and wish I could have been there! :p

Thanks for posting the other photos, Tony! The "Spankie & the Gang" picture is great! I hope RustyH is drooling over those pics of Jimmy's Wet Okole custom upholstery! This was a memorable day & a lot of fun. (I still think we should've sicked Jimmy on the pagans, though ;))

Looks like a lot of fun! Congrats on a successful meet. Thanks for posting all the photos so we can see the trucks together.

More pictures are posted with more to come. I need those who took pictures to send them to my email at the bottom of this page.

Just follow the links

I am working on the video taken which will be posted on youtube. I will post the link here and on the webpage

Pictures from ROC and Cruisin the Coast 2009 (http://www.members.cox.net/hon-e/2009ridgelinerallycruisinthecoast.shtml)

Wow! Those are some awesome shots Tony. It’s so great to see so many enthusiastic groups of Ridgeline owners from around the country getting together for a meet & greet.
Very well done, and we finally get to match faces to names! Keep those photos flowin……

I might add that Fla-Vyk was proudly showing his new 5S door sills (not yet installed). Several other folks had 'em, too! Your work is truly "global" art!

Thank you kind sir! It's really the members of this great club that make this truck so special.

Looks like I'm gonna have to make the drive out there to install Lex's Cubby Cover for him though.......... Keep the meet alive with those awesome photos guys!!

well while you are at it.... I am only a short drive on the way there or back ..:) i do need to get with you to finalize it though and after seeing the craftsmanship and look (and even touched them...lol). I cannot wait till get it worked out. Tony working on getting what few pics I took to you but are from my I Phone.

I think you need to post a picture of your "Law Enforcement Officer" cab, starfixer. That is a bunch of lights, switches, ra-did-io equiment & all. Get a laptop mount & you're better equipped that the Miss'ippi Highway Patrol! :D

That was some great pictures. Thanks for putting the faces with the Ridgelines. I also have saved the pictures. Glad everyone had a great time.
That was some really sharp looking Ridgelines.:D

We sure missed you be with us this year. I working on video so we can upload to youtube.

On another subject, does any member have the ROC Map for their region? Like the one I am using for my signature. If you do please email it to me.

LarryR, Fla-Vyk FMS1 and anyone else that took pictures, if you could please email some of them to me.. Thanks for all the help...

I just got home - I will upload all my pictures to Picassa when I get unpacked.

Man that is a long drive when it it raining.

What's left to say about our outing that hasn't already been said. Thanks to many for a great time. We always have a great time visiting and telling stories with each other. Talk about some nice trucks and mods. Too many to mention.

As Joe and Jimmy mentioned it was priceless to see Tonys face when he thought it would rain on his truck again. Karen thinks it's too funny that men put so much time and money in their trucks and then want to show them off.

Tony, I will email you pictures when we return home at the end of the week. Thanks again to all for a great time and to Joe and Tony for the awards they gave out. Hope to see ya soon.

Well I got home about 6:30pm and man what a trip.1009.4 miles round trip and I would do it again in a heart beat.This was my first meet and I had a great time.It was great meeting every one,checking out all the trucks and the different ways every one as there trucks personalize.A special thank you to Joe and Jimmy for setting all this up.:):)

Well I made it home approx 5:30p, great time guys. Waiting for the next one, hope to everyone soon. Vic

More picture are on the site just follow the links. Click on link below to get you there.

I am still working on youtube stuff

There you have it, folks -- photographic proof that Tony's truck got rained on! :D

There you have it, folks -- photographic proof that Tony's truck got rained on! :D

Wow, what a shame!! There has to always be a first time for everything. He probably has the in-bed trunk full of "sham wows" just for this type of emergency. BTW, what is it with all the tea drinking!!

Jimmy said I cry to much. Go figure. That is not tea, that was Crown and Coke.

After much thought today, I will admit that Tony & Djeaux did a FANTASTIC job of organizing this meet at CRUISING THE COAST. The FOOD was GREAT, the CONVERSATION was GREAT, the ROC members that attended were GREAT. I realize this and I'm sure that KEITH would too if he was in town. I figure that KEITH MUST be AWOL because we have not heard from him. Maybe Keith went with Obama to get the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE in OSLO, NORWAY. I figured that since Chicago lost the olympics, they awarded OBAMA the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! Afterall, KEITH was the FIRST ROC member to acknowledge that he could not attend the meet. TONY & DJEAUX , you deserve the ROC MEET AWARD. I can't wait until 2010. We WILL BE BIGGER and BETTER. We will try to book rooms across from the Beau Rivage along the beach. We will be able to watch the cars from the front yard of the hotel. Keith will be proud of TONY & DJEAUX!:):D:eek:We sure wish you could have made it KEITH. This could have been an opportunity to put some break in miles on your new car!

Maybe Keith went with Obama to get the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE...

I think Keith is devastated that he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize! :D But yeah, he could have gotten some break in miles on the Maxima ... or maybe some break down miles ;)

Folks, this was a great weekend event, and we're already talking about a bigger & better Crusin' the Coast III in October 2010. Tony did a helluva job organizing the meet. I just can't say that enough. He went the proverbial extra mile with very limited time & resources, and he "done good!"

BTW, what is it with all the tea drinking!!

The guys with the 1957 Nomad drank the bar dry ;)

When I first thought about attending I checked the beach side all the way to Perdido and no vancancies, Shrimp Festival and Crusin the Coast is too much the same week. I will make it next year if I can get on the beach for 3 nights. Not driving that far for anyting less!! Great job with the meet and the pics! Great pics!!

Just thought I'd link to one of Tony's pics for those of you who are too lazy to follow the link! (Tony is not in this photo...)

http://www.members.cox.net/hon-e/panaramicview.jpg

OK TONY, DUNCAN has drawn the line in the sand. You hook him up with a location for a guarnateed stay of 3 days and 3 nights near the beach:eek::), he will come to Cruising The Coast 2010. You better get to booking the rooms. Is there any other request? How about FLA-VYK?????????We will guarantee to supply you with some CAJUN STYLE NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS AND FRIED CAT FISH!!FMS1- Eddie & Karen, we will book close to Beau Rivage :) so that the slots will be close. RollTide, we do what it takes. DNICK & Denise, we expect you to come back. Starfixer, we will allow you to direct traffic with all those fancy strobe lights. LarryR, we will all bring our engineering problems to you to solve. Djeaux, all you need is a LSU hat. Ridgeline2006, Tony Da REAL MAN, we will supply an enclosed trailer to keep the RIDGE out of the RAIN!:pWhat can we do to get RustyH to come show us that GOOD LOOKING RIDGE?

As long as there's no conflict with the Sedona meet in June...I wouldn't mind taking a week or so off and making the drive back to Big Easy for a visit. The last time we were there, my wife and I only had a day to check things out before hitting the road again. I should have at least three weeks saved up by then (assuming I still have a state job) so figure three days driving out, three days driving back with about four days stay wouldn't be bad. Keep me in the loop.

OK I am working on next year arrangements for ROC'n the Coast which will be held During Cruisin the Coast Oct 3-10 2010. We are going to put together hotel rooms that we can all stay and we are hoping to make ROC'n the Coast a two or three day event. I am in contact with a hotel on beach blvd and I am starting by blocking twenty rooms for the ROC. Food should not be a problem, there are many great places to choose from. Next year will be bigger and better and I hope that everyone that attended this year will return and we invite those you couldn't to join us. Although it is a year away the time will fly by so mark you calendar and join us. I just hope I did not disappoint anyone this year and I hope to make next year even better. I am open to any suggestions so don't hesitate, send me your ideas and we will try to improved the 2010 Rally.

I have video that I have posted on youtube. This is the group entering the National Park.

One last picture, courtesy of Mr. & Mrs. FMS1 (Eddie & Karen). A group of us were standing around at the Park while Tony showed off his under-hood lighting system. Somebody said "I feel rain," and this photo captures Tony's reaction! Priceless!

http://www.djeaux.com/images/2007_Ridgeline/2009_Cruisin_Meet/tony_rain.jpg

I may also attend if this TN meet doesnt take off soon. I would love to see Rustys truck in person! Arizona is just way too far me to drive :eek: 1100 miles enough for me :cool:

It would be great if we can get both groups together.Maybe a spring meet at the Honda plant in Alabama?

It would be great if we can get both groups together.Maybe a spring meet at the Honda plant in Alabama?

Hey Phil I am working along with 25 Year Honda Owner and hopefully we will get things together for a spring rally in northern Alabama. We would love to be able to tour the Honda plant and a make it a 3 or 4 day show so we can get more things done. I sure will be emailing the group that attended ROC'n the Coast so stay tuned for updates

If you need any help planning let me know and I will inform my TN group when something is set in stone :D
