    I am located in the Imperial Valley but if any of your drives come south or I can make it I would be up for it. I am about 3 or more hours from you but if you go to Palm Springs that is only 70 miles from me. Borrego would be an awesome drive also BUT not in the summer...

    Seems like the last Saturday in July is a great idea. I'd suggest you definitely do that photo and a map, that would help people out a lot in terms of finding the exact spot you're thinking of in the park. I'd also suggest (this is probably obvious) that you plan it for the morning when it's still cool.

    Thanks so much for organizing this, MJGreen!

    By the way, Is there some way on this site or some type of thread that is handy for tabulating sign ups?

    Add me to the list as interested. (Depending, of course, on time and place.) I'm between downtown and Pasadena, and favor something not too far away. Griffith Park is great for me. And July 28 works.

    This weekend I will scope out the EXACT location and take pics and post them, then we can just all plan to show up, I think "signing up" will be a waist IMHO. But I'm willing to bend if that will motivate others to show. I think the first meeting should be casual. We can scope out the group and see the level of "true" interest then try to organize from there. I'm told in the past Los Angeles has been challenged when it comes to organizing these type groups, so we can proceed with cautious optimism that it will be a good number of folks that show.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(politemusic @ Jun 26 2007, 08:52 AM) [snapback]468294[/snapback]</div>

    You're welcome, we can talk times once I nail down the correct parking lot and confirm that there is adequate facilities to gather. I will post this weekend, stay tuned.

    I'll have to meet up with you guys for the next one since July 28th, I'll be in Hawaii! Griffith Park is a great location though. I wish I could make it. Cheers.

    I think you should start a list, such as:

    1. uclabruins (but can't make this one)
    2. next person signs up and so on
    3.

    Anyone wishing to "sign up", send me a PM. Anyone else please feel free to show up on the 7/28. I will post pictures of the meeting place this weekend for clarification.

    OK EVERYONE!

    So I scoped the place out earlier today. I've decided to go with your suggestions and keep it very, very simple for our first meeting. The parking lot of the Los Angeles Zoo should be a great centralized place to meet. Below are pictures of landmarks. The "S" section of the parking lot is off to the right side and would leave us more than enough room if lots'of folks showed up.

    I hope everyone will try to make it. please PM me if you wish to sign up , HOWEVER signing up is not required for your to show.

    The event will be 7/28 (Saturday) at 10:30am. We will meet and gather until 11:15 and then hit the road to drive through hollywood. The destination will be the Beverly Center. Those that wish to join up at the Beverly Center can expect to meet for lunch Somewhere in or around the Mall. Jerry's deli is one block away. Parking at the mall is best even though it's a few bucks.

    Below are the landmarks.

    We too are out of town on that weekend. I'll monitor to see if another date gets posted. If not, see you next time, hopefully.

    I can't attend, but I'm saying, "Hi"".


    A drive down Mullholland would sure be pretty...

    I think we can definitely put that on our list. I think for the first gathering perhaps simplicity is best. i eventually would like to do scenice drives perhaps to santa barbara and the like.

    lets see how this goes and we can gauge from there.

    PS: Below is a link for directions to the zoo, the parking is to the right of the zoo, HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.

    Ah. I just came across this.
    I'll try to be there too.

    (Getting up by 11:00 is pretty hard for me on weekends but I'll make an effort) :)
