Group meet - North Cal - June 25th Saturday - Mt. Diablo:

Lower level parking lot, Mt. Diablo
Saturday June 25th, 12:00pm, Noon

Bring one, bring all, bring your bbq. Let's have a tailgate. The lower lower level parking lot is about 100 yards from the top, you'll see it. If ya miss it just circle around from the top and come up again and turn right. If ya don't have a NAV model then here's the direcitons:

I will try to get the nerf bar installed for this meeting. I have a couple of suggestions for a goal oriented meeting:

1. Can we meet some where that is free and easier to access? It costs too much unless we are going to spend a lot of time there. Also there is a 30 minute drive just to the top. If anyone is towing, they can't at Mt. Diablo. 580x680 near san Ramon/livermore is probably the most central spot to access within 100 miles.

2. Can we meet in the late afternoon? It takes me over 90 minutes to get there so I have to leave at 10:30am. I am relative close compare to others.

3. Can we meet with the Element club? The southern cal EOC people seems to be really interested in seeing the ridgeline.

4. We need to have a theme. To me, I want to see different accessories such as Tonneau cover, nerf bar, ground illuminator (thus evening meeting), back up sensor, camera, pin stripe or anything else that is only available in this kind of meeting.

5. We should get a local dealer or honda rep involved. Maybe even meet at the dealership as a promo. A really smart dealership will want to have the club meeting there. How about HandA? They are a little far.

If we can accomplish above objective, this will be a much more meaningful meeting. Each of us can share the responsibilities for getting this done. I am sure others can think of more goals.

Hey Vertrkr, thanks for invite.

I should be able to make it. Dealer is saying my Ridge should be in by the end of may. That'll give me a good month to mod something and if I don't get around to it, seeing everyone else's will give me some inspiration.

I don't have time to arrange much else, if someone wants to take over then you have my blessing.

Let's just keep things flexible. I am sure other members will have good ideas that will take care of each issue. If not, we will do as planned.

How about meeting at Pleasanton? It is supposed to be America's best city by CNN/Money magazine. Does anybody know a good place?

A later start time would make it possible to do a quick road trip from down south...not that I am looking for an excuse for another road trip or anything...
