A little delayed in updating this thread, but we had a great meet-up this month! Edwin562 + wife and son, PainRoller + FixItGuy, Motorpig77 + kids and myself + wife and son all had a great time.
The parking lot at Sonic proved to be a little less desirable than we'd hoped. There was only one very small seating area, and it was not near where the vehicles had to park. But the Menifee area was a great meeting point based on the locations everyone came from (except for Edwin, of course, but there's not a whole lot we can do to shorten that drive for you buddy.
).
So we need a new meeting spot in the same general area. The thought is to just converge on an open parking lot, like we do for the SD event every month. Just park the rigs in an empty corner somewhere, set up our own chairs, grab food wherever we want, and sit around and socialize for a couple hours. Unless anyone can suggest a better spot for this, I'm going to suggest that we use a piece of the parking lot of the Countryside Marketplace plaza, directly across the street from the Sonic we met at last time. We can set ourselves up in the empty part of the lot between Target and Lowes, but very far away from the storefronts (closer to Haun Road - which will put our rigs out closer to In N Out or Miguel's Jr). My only concern is cars that are zooming through the parking lot all evening, especially for little ones that may be running around. But I think we can find a spot that's far enough off of any main traveled roads within the parking lot.
Any other suggestions by anyone? I'm all ears. Next meet-up will be Thursday 11/3.
