Ms. Denmark, u need to come back to Cali!!!:)

[lifespeed]

Felton is actually not a bad idea. The Cowboy bar and Grill (http://www.feltoncowboy.com/) looks like a nice place. It is a small town on a nice drive towards Santa Cruz heading south on Highway 17. Obviously biased towards the South Bay. I would be perfectly willing to drive to the East Bay or North bay if somebody has a better idea.

http://home.comcast.net/~claybu/pics/forums/Cowboy_bar_and_grill.jpg

[Jake]

Did somebody say Pismo Beach?

[Chayton]

Not sure if this location would work for everyone, just throwing out ideas here. But I think it would be a great idea, depending on if people could make it. Sonoma raceway opens up Wednesday night drags for the season on march 5th. It would be a GREAT place to meetup, and then hit the quarter mile! only $20, run as many times as you want. Ive always wanted to have a meet here. If you havent had a chance to see what you'll run in the quarter mile, heres your chance!

edit: looking around on google maps and bay area members locations, it seems like most everybody is about an hours drive away at the most. not much longer than any of our other meets im sure. I think we should really consider this! Food is a little expensive there but BBQ is allowed in the parking lot, we could cook up some burgers and hot dogs perhaps, have each person bring something to share??

I am in! Lets get it going!

[Redster]

I'm in, unless is rains (I hope it gets rained out)

[gdsqdcr]

I am in, just not the first week of March. Gonna be in Texas for a Fire Fighting class.

[Chayton]

March 12th?

[REAL4WD]

If it's near Pismo Beach I would be able to make it on a weekend.

[bigrocks85]

Middle of March and Pismo sounds like a good road trip for me!!!!:D:D

[Chayton]

Hey hey hey!! we need to meet up SOON so you guys can see my marauder! :D

[Chayton]

anybody have any miscellaneous Marauder parts/goodies they would be willing to part with/sell?

[MarylndMarauder]

I will be there if its at the sonoma county race way on the 12th!! Count me in!!

[Mercurykidd]

Hearst Castle, Pismo Beach, Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, a Great weekend ride up northern Cali....

[Black bart]

Santa Cruz or Felton, Roaring Camp ideal spots for family and friends.

So whats it gonna be? Do we need a poll for this? :lol:

[1Marauder]

NO--someone with knowledge make a choice (or two -hahaha) and WE WILL COME!!!!

[lifespeed]

As fun as Sears Point is, most of us have stock Marauders. Let me spare you the suspense - your car will run a low 14 second quarter mile.

I vote for Fulton.

[1Marauder]

I think we need to see who all is into coming, and from where.

if we have a lot of folks from LA-- maybe a little more south (Pismo).

I am in from SACRAMENtO CA

Santa Cruz is looking like a good place that most of us would be able to make! I think we should do a re vote between Pismo beach and Santa Cruz since it seems like those are the top two.

[1Marauder]

Awesome. We want the most cars and LA members to come up!

[1Marauder]

I contacted the Fabulous Fords folks... and Marauders are invited to show! All of us!

Anyone interested? April 27th, Knotts Berry Farm. I wrote to them and asked if Marauders were welcome... this was the response:

Grant,

On behalf of the Ford Car Club Council, I would be delighted to extend an invitation for you to attend our event. I am very familiar with the most recent edition of the Mercury Marauder and I've had the opportunity to see some of the original 1963 Marauders as well.

Registering for our event is simple. You can visit our website at www.fabulousfordsforever.com, where you can register for the show online by clicking the link in the announcement, or you can download a printable PDF entry form. For your convenience, I will post the link to both methods here:

Online Registration: https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07e8jar750d288 1891&oseq=&c=&ch=

Downloadable PDF form: http://fabulousfordsforever.com/files/2014_FabulousFordsForever_Regi stration_Final.pdf

We have an all-Mercury class and we have a Special Service Vehicle class, which has a large number of your sister cars that participate. Whichever class you choose, we would welcome your group to our show.

If you have any comments or need any additional information, please let me know and I will do my best to respond.

Sincerely,

Damon Tolentino
Chairman
Ford Car Club Council


Just an idea shared by others last year... I am still ready for Late Feb/March meeting.

[REAL4WD]

if I have the count right, we have 25+ Crown Vics, Grand Marquis in the special service class registered already for FFF. and maybe a few marauders too.

last year we had 30 panthers at FFF.

[jus4kix03MM]

Ill be at FFF this year again. I do it every year. Great event.

[Redster]

Everybody should go at least once. Not sure I will make it this year. Unless they have changed their rules, you need to register in advance.

[88LTDCV351]

FFF is a good show for sure. Don't think I'll make it this year.

[Mercurykidd]

I am thinking about going to the Fabulous Fords Forever Car Show April 27th. Sounds like a Great show at Knotts...

[MarylndMarauder]

So what date are we having the meet? Unfortunately i leave California for good March 27th so my time is limited. I hope we can work out a place and date that will work for everybody.

[jus4kix03MM]

Ok everyone. Looks like its going to be March 15th in Santa Cruz. Im going to be checking some places out and confirm on here in a few days. Unless someone has an idea of a place to meet. Let me know. :beer:

[MarylndMarauder]

I will be in Santa Cruz March 15th

[dohc324ci]

Sweet - lets get a list of who is going together?

DOHC324CI - Tracy

[lifespeed]

I'll be there. Sounds like we're still deciding on the place in Santa Cruz?

[Redster]

If you are going to Santa Cruz March 15 (as I will likely do) check out this link. It is near Santa Cruz and it is FREE.

[1Marauder]

This is cool!!!!!

Looks like fun!

[Redster]

I'm guessing that they have a parking lot big enough for a place to meet.

This sounds good to me Rod. Hows that sound to everyone else? Is everyone okay with meeting somewhere first then driving up to the museum together? Then maybe something to eat after?

man I really wanna go but I cant afford to money or time wise. We absolutely should go sometime in march though! let me know if you're still interested

[MarylndMarauder]

Have we decided on a place yet.

[Redster]

Last I heard it was Santa Cruz, Mar. 15.
Here some suggestions.
1. Meet at Canepa's Museum at 10-11. http://www.canepa.com/collection/museum_10_2/index.html
2. eat lunch on Mission Blvd., maybe Mission BBQ
3. Meet again at Natural Bridges State Park, they have a fairly big parking lot for a photo op although I'm not sure of the photo angles.
4. cruise West Cliff Drive
5. Maybe stop at the light house. Parking there can be busy, maybe at another parking lot just up the road?
6. Cruise the wharf, well, you will have a traffic jam at the end, although there is a turn around area, it could get jammed with a bunch of cars. Mid-wharf there is a bigger parking area on the east side. Maybe a photo op. I think that if you stay on the wharf less that 1/2 hour or maybe it is 1 hour. The parking is free. Also, if you don't want to eat lunch on Mission, Stagnaro's and the Riva serve food to go.
7. Cruise Beach Street by the Boardwalk and if you are inclined, park and check out the Boardwalk.

A call out to Fred, you live in that area, do you have any ideas?

These are just ideas, not a plan, I don't want this to be Rod's tour of Santa Cruz.

Sorry guys. Ive been really busy and was unable to plan out.
Thanks to Redster we have somewhat of a plan. Im good with all thats listed. Hope everyone else feels the same. Speak up or this is how its goin down. :)

[Black bart]

Hi Ho Redstar:

Good sugestions..am partial to the SC wharf, ample parking space at the end of the wharf..do not expect much traffic in March.

Ideal restaurant serves excellent lunches.

But its up to you folks to decide.

[dohc324ci]

Ok so can someone confirm times location? I can meet anyone in the east bay then drive up...I'll be driving in from Tracy.

[lifespeed]

I'll be driving in from the South bay, Highway 85 to 17. If anybody is taking the same route we could meet up at Ace Hardware in Los Gatos and drive up 17 together.

15300 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos, CA


I'll have a go pro mounted on my whip.

What are you bringing a whip to a Marauder meet for?

[Redster]

Good to hear from you Fred. Do you remember the parking rules on the wharf? I can't remember if free parking is for 1/2 hour or for 1 hour.

[Black bart]

I believe first 1/2 hour free

Am unaware of any parking rules other than first come first serve

Here is the info. Plus it is free. I'll call them and double check. This info is from their website. www.canepa.com



Canepa

Scotts Valley, California 95066

Nestled in hills of the Santa Cruz mountains in Northern California, Canepa is just a short trip from the San Francisco Bay Area and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

From San Francisco International
From the airport take Highway 380 West. Take exit 5B and merge onto 280 South. Take exit 12B and merge onto CA-85 South. Take exit 11A and merge onto CA-17 South toward Santa Cruz. Take exit 5 for Scotts Valley Drive / Granite Creek Road. Turn Left at the first stop light onto Scotts Valley Drive. We are located about 1/2 mile on your left. Distance 60 miles.

From San Jose International
From the airport take 880 South via the ramp to Santa Cruz. Continue on CA-17 South. Take exit 5 for Scotts Valley Drive / Granite Creek Road. Turn Left at the first stop light onto Scotts Valley Drive. We are located about 1/2 mile on your left. Distance 26 miles.

From Monterey
Take Highway 1 North toward Santa Cruz. Exit onto Highway CA-17 East toward San Jose. In approximately 6 miles take the Mount Hermon Road exit in Scotts Valley. Go about 1/8 of a mile and take a right on Scotts Valley Drive. We are located about 1 mile on your right

[ARodmarauder]

Ok cool thanks redstart it looks like with the travel time I might be there closer to 11

San Luis Obispo area is one possibility.

[Redster]

Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think we need a president. Anyway, we were lucky with the weather. Like I told Fred, I'm sorry we didn't get rained out.
The hardest part is picking a date, once we pick a date all you have to do is figure out where to start, where to have lunch with enough parking and where to end plus photo stops with parking. I think we were lucky to line up the cars at Natural Bridges and it was impossible to park on the Wharf.

Anyway, I could think of a couple of other trips. How about our members in San Francisco? The Golden Gate Bridge to Pacifica? Those traffic lights on the Great Highway might be fun? There is a Taco Bell on the beach in Pacifica.
How about a Livermore Loop? Start in Livermore and take Corral Hollow road over the hills and loop back over the old Altamont Road. Harry's Hoffbrau in Livermore would be a good place to meet and eat.
Thanks for the great pics.

Just wanted to say my friend and I had a blast at this meet! Every Marauder meet I've been to has been well worth it, but this one tops all, especially since I was able to show up in my very own Marauder this time. Great to see everyone, im very much looking forward to the next time we meet again!

If I had the time I would watermark all these images, I would. Last time I posted photos on here I found my pictures being used on instagram without credit by some kid. Just something that really grinds my gears. Anyones welcome to use my pictures, as long as I receive credit. that means you, instagram boy.

The Madona Inn has a huge parking lot and they serve lunch. It's fun to try at least once. You could do a Winery Tour in Paso Robles. There are a bunch of beautiful winerys and they would be great photo ops. Avila and Pismo both have piers and great beachs. Highway 1 isn't far away and that is a great road for views of the Pacific. There are all kinds of things to do in that area. In Pismo they have a big hot rod show on Father's day weekend that draws huge crowds.

Isn't the Madona Inn the pink place? Ugh, too much pink for me! lol

Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think we need a president. Anyway, we were lucky with the weather. Like I told Fred, I'm sorry we didn't get rained out.
The hardest part is picking a date, once we pick a date all you have to do is figure out where to start, where to have lunch with enough parking and where to end plus photo stops with parking. I think we were lucky to line up the cars at Natural Bridges and it was impossible to park on the Wharf.

Anyway, I could think of a couple of other trips. How about our members in San Francisco? The Golden Gate Bridge to Pacifica? Those traffic lights on the Great Highway might be fun? There is a Taco Bell on the beach in Pacifica.
How about a Livermore Loop? Start in Livermore and take Corral Hollow road over the hills and loop back over the old Altamont Road. Harry's Hoffbrau in Livermore would be a good place to meet and eat.
Thanks for the great pics.

If we can really start getting the kind of turnout we had this weekend, I'd be down to doing these kinds of getogethers more frequently. Let's keep the ideas flowing!
