Vx'ers in the Pacific Northwest ( Oregon and Washington - other welcome Idaho, Alaska, California

Lets get a meet together this spring. No big thing, just a chance to get together....

Depending on the interest, we could then pick a place, date, activities (?) etc....

Any interest please sound off.....

Thanks

Last I heard, there is no border check between Nevada and Oregon.
You could even use the paved highways........
Dry lake beds are fun too.

CrnCnn,

Keep your left up.

Float like a banana, Sting like a plantine.

As the little fat lady said in Poltergiest. "all are welcome".

**KeithVXlvr** · 04/15/2009, 01:17 PM

Thanks for the replies.

I notice most of you have looked at the date and made the usual comments. I actually have never used the "meet" posting before and date was just left on default.

I wasn't sure if there would be any interest so I was just throwing it out there... this idea is for a meet sometime this spring: May, June.....

So at the moment, just taking ideas on locations, activities, etc....

All input is welcome

Pity some of you couldn't make the dunes with baxman and me, was fun,... kinda. Just be sure to bring a winch, as in cable, not female. Maybe long beach, seaside, something like that, just my 2 cents

Count me in. I organized a "NWVX" show & shine in '02 when Tone came for a visit (rest in peace, brother), and again about 2 years later when Moncha Came to Seattle for a visit. We met for lunch at Ivar's Salmon House on Lake Union, then caravanned to Alki for a photo op. In the past ten years I've also organized about 6 or 7 offroad trips. Nice to pass the baton.

All,

Thanks for all the replies etc..... Nice to see some support for the idea.

I am eager and willing to do the "work' to put a meet together but.......

As I have never attended a car meet, ( and hence have obviously never had any part in putting one together ) I would like to get ideas regarding all this.

It would be "our" NWVX-Meet so, please give me input as to:

** Activities
** Locations
** Time of day
** Meals
** Etc....

Could it me as simple as, "Hey everyone, meet in Portland at such and such location and well meet each other and get to see other VX's and maybe those who want to can go to lunch".

Or is it ,more along the lines of, Meet in Portland, lodging has been set up with such and such hotel, meals are set up at such and such restaurant, we will have a raffle and prizes and awards for best VX, Highest lift, craziest MOD, etc ???

I really would like to get input so we can have a NWVX-Meet that fulfills expectations and has everyone saying, "Great, see you next year!"

Thanks

Well, since it is summer time, well, it is today here in Olympia, How about someplace like Long Beach, kind in the middle, plenty of places to eat and drink, sand to play in. Maybe someone can design a VX kite to fly. For sure, a bunch of VX's playing in the sand would draw some attention.

I like the idea of coming up Saturday morning and spending a Saturday night, maybe even two nights.

**AK Falco** · 04/22/2009, 12:08 PM
