Help Us find a location for the next big meet -- Norcal
 
Whatsup norcal! Do you want the next meet on your city/area?

Help us find/scout the perfect venue for the next big meet drive and bbq.

Here are some criterias that needs to be met when making a suggestion:

1. Big enough parking space for up to 100 cars.
2. Large BBQ pits and near the parking lot
3. Shaded picnic area
4. Accessible to scenic routes/roads

If you live close by a park and want to make a suggestion please post photos of the parking lot, bbq pits, amd picnic grounds.

I will then choose the top 3 parks and post a poll for everyone to vote on.

As for the date, august seems to be fullybooked with events and meets already so shooting for first week of september.

Uvas Reservoir- 14946 Uvas Road, Morgan Hill, United States
Don't know how to post the Google map and too lazy to do a screenshot. I count 69 drawn parking spaces give or take. The lines are not drawn for the most efficient parking, so many more cars will fit if you stack them. There is a picnic area at the Northwest end of the parking lot, under the trees. There is a big ass lake for pretty pictures. The nearby road is fun and predictable.

Here is a route that I went on a couple years ago that goes right by the reservoir. The pie and apple juice is awesome at Gizditch Ranch, Watsonville. Parking for 100 cars is a lot tougher there, though... Very scenic ride.

Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area. There is a Bay Area Subaru meet called BAM happening next month. And im assuming can support a big turn out. Since BAM is usually a couple hundred car event.

What about any of the past suggestions? Too lazy to look for the old thread, but I vaguely remember Alameda Naval Base and Joseph D. Grant (by Mt. Ham).

I think there's a spot in Treasure Island, plenty of space and parking. Not sure what its like lately, but I use to go to RSX meets back in the day.

TI is good but very small picnic grounds and only 50 car capacity

What about something in the Napa/Vacaville area? I'm not familiar with it but there are a ton of regional parks on the map and lots of crooked roads. Anyone from that area have some input?

I'd like to do one in the South Bay before going way the hell up there.

The Suisun City Marina is nice. It's right on the waterfront, near plenty of restaurants, and has a good amount of parking!
