NorCal people!

[Juice]

I'm going to be in the Sacramento area through the end of the month and the very beginning of March. I'd love to have a meet up with anyone who is willing, as well as shoot your car if you'd like!

Let me check some dates with the wife and see when I would be available. Maybe, I just take a day off to do this. Your pictures are AWESOME!

Give me a day or two ... When is best for you, weekends, weekdays?

[Juice]

I'm on leave, any time is good. :D

The only day I have something else going on is this Saturday, the 19th. Everything else is open.

[jus4kix03MM]

id be down to meet up. hopefully more will chime in. you take great pics bro! im free fridays and saturdays if you can work those days out.:D

[Juice]

Any updates? I know the weather is kind of iffy for the next week, but I don't mind a little rain.

[gdsqdcr]

I think I can do Friday the 25th. Meet, pics, lunch, pics

[jus4kix03MM]

I can make that too. Let me me know once the day is definite.

[Juice]

Sounds good to me. 10 day forecast says 55 and mostly sunny, so a good day for the outdoors. Of course, I'm willing to put in a bit of travel time too, so I'm good for anything in the area really.

[gdsqdcr]

Where can we get some good shots? And good eats?

Marina Greens in the city?
Discovery something or other on the North side ofthe Golden Gate.
BlackHawk car museum -- not sure if they are open on Fridays.


My only time requirement for the day will be picking the kids up at daycare.

[Juice]

I haven't been to the Bay Area in a number of years, so I couldn't really tell you what's good around there.

According to that museum's website, they are open Wed-Sun, 10-5.

A shot with the Golden Gate in the background would be pretty cool. I think I've seen someone here who has a shot like that.

Other useful places are large parking lots, parking garages, industrial areas, etc...

[gdsqdcr]

Treasure Island. Open parking lots, bay views, ***** under the Bay Bridge (new and old).

Other ideas?

[jus4kix03MM]

im willing to take a drive aswell, but Treasure Island sounds good if you guys want. let me know what time and if its for sure for everyone.:D

[Juice]

I've never actually stopped there, so that sounds good to me!

As for time, if we could make it around 11 or later that would be best for me, since I'd be skipping out on the morning commute to SF from here.

[gdsqdcr]

Someone has to do this ...

Let's meet at 11am on Treasure Island. When you come off the bridge, follow the road down and go past the guard house. Once past that, there is a parking lot directly in front of you, though the road veers slightly left.

We can take shots there and then either head to the city for lunch or over to Oakland. If we head to the city, we can then travel over the Golden Gate and go above the bridge there to capture some nice shots of the city, ships and bay.

We can decide on the 'after TI portion' that day so we can consider the weather.

Those that confirm, I can PM my phone number so I can be a point of contact for the day.

Thanks!
Anthony

A little weather update: 40% chance of showers in SF on the 25th. Saturday, 26th is supposed to be sunny with 10% chance of rain. Would you be opposed to changing the date?

[Marauder Miggz]

Hey!!! What about me!! Haha

[iceman]

damn,
I'd love to, but my Marauder probably won't be repaired in time after my wife's accident - Second one, both times she crashed the front end. I should start buying grills by the 5-pack.

[gdsqdcr]

The more the merrier!

For me, I cannot make the 26th or the 27th. Baby Showers Nd my kids base ball games ... But if you can get more Marauders on Saturday, go for it. NAs for the weather predictions, I would only trust one 3-5 days out.

[Juice]

Alright, we'll stick to the plan then. A little overcast would be better for pictures anyway.

[Marauder Miggz]

I'm Defenitely ready... I might have to friends also

[jus4kix03MM]

so next friday it is gentlemen, see u guys at 11am on Treasure Island.:coolman:

[Redster]

I think I will make it. I am going to Santa Rosa that day, so I will have to head north about 1 PM.

Cheers,

Rod

[gdsqdcr]

So who is coming?

Redstar
Just for kicks
Juice
Me
Marauder Miggz

Anyone else?

[Juice]

Haha the new weather update shows sunny in SF until Friday, where it's 70% chance of rain. Stupid rain :(

[gdsqdcr]

What is weather in Santa Rosa or Sacramento going to be like? I don't mind traveling.

[jus4kix03MM]

i was hoping it would be nicer. any other ideas?

[Juice]

Same forecast everywhere. Thursday is supposed to be clear, anyone opposed to same location a day earlier? I know that's kind of an oddball day, but the rest of the weekend is rain too.

[Redster]

This is what I see at the National Weather Service

Thursday: A chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 52.

Friday: A chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 49.

Anyway, I can't make it Thurs.

Looks like a coin toss to me

[Juice]

Haha, I guess I'll just have to suck it up then and hope for the best.

[gdsqdcr]

Worst case it rains, let's find a place to eat.

Cattlemans is near Davis. Great food there.
Mimi's cafe in Fairfield.
Uno's Pizzaeria in Berkley but no parking there.
Tons of good eats in the city.

[Juice]

I've been doing a little searching for places to go, and I had a few things in mind. I've mostly been looking for things away from the city for parking purposes, and close to a major freeway so we don't get lost as easy.

Cenario's Pizza in Fairfield looks pretty good, very close to 80.

Suisun City has a number of highly rated restaurants really close together, right off Hwy 12.

Closer to the Golden Gate, if we can get there for pics, there are a number of good places in Sausalito as well.

The only thing I really don't eat is seafood, so I'm good for anything else.

[jus4kix03MM]

im up for anything you guys can come up with. ill just follow along. lol

[dohc324ci]

Man this bites I cant make this one guys. Ive got a christening to attend (godfather). Takes lots of pics maybe have a GTG at Sonics in Tracy?

[jus4kix03MM]

So what's the word guys. Are we still on for Friday in the rain?

[Juice]

I'm still up for it. 70% chance of rain, but whatever...

[gdsqdcr]

I have the day off, rain or no rain.

If it is raining, where we meeting? Cenario's in Fairfield?

[Juice]

I figured we'd meet at TI regardless of weather, then decide from there, since the actual weather may be different in the areas we are coming from.

[gdsqdcr]

See you at 11 on TI.

[Redster]

Sorry, last minute changes to my plan, I won't be there.

[jus4kix03MM]

I'll be there
