Since the location of the new meet is in a weird place, a residential zone, it is wise to keep the caravans to a minimum, or at least break them up before you enter the main area... There's a parking lot of Decoto Road on the way to the Lake, there's a McDonalds and a Hollywood Video as well as a Wallgreens there, you guys can all stop and meet there, or the lot accross the street... Then do like 5 cars at a time till you get everyone out... Space out the cars by about 10mins.

Trust me, this is the wisest way to do it and it will avoid a lot of problems.



There are many ways to get to lake, since its in the middle of Fremont, so there are a lot of shopping centers and stuff where you guys can stop and do this.


Please abide by the 5 car rule, we don't want cops to get involved.


Also, if ANYONE, and I mean ANNNNNNYYYYYOOOONEEE breaks any laws of the road in or around the park, I will personally escort your *** out of there and call the cops. I know most of you are responsible guys, but there's always that one n00b who doesn't know his head from his ***... I'll have a razor scooter, and I wont be afraid to toss it in front of your car!

Damn why you gotta post this in the oakland thread ? lol

Yeah trust me, I used to live in Fremont and originated several large Nissan meets over at Lake Elizabeth, I know you need to break up cars to keep attention down and so forth, not a noob to this.

And dont worry, i'll keep the sideshows and hollow points in east oakland..

LOL

Yeah lets see how many folks are interested and we can plan accordingly afterwards. I'd like to get the meeting spot secured by Friday night.

I suggest San Leandro as a meeting point. Perhaps walmart/homedepot or Costco parking lot on West Davis?

^either of those spots would work. Plenty of space and right off the freeway. The Costco side also has a pretty big shell gas station, if there isn't too many people involved in the caravan.

Costco is above, Home Depot is Below.

Take your pick!

Or the lot between Big Lots and the 99 Cents Only store at Greenhouse Marketplace. I live by there, LOL. I can snap photos of where I'm talking about and you guys could probably pick if you guys wanna meet up at Greenhouse.

Yay for Oakland/San Leandro caravan.

Plus there's spots where you don't have to fight Sunday shoppers like you would around the Walmart and Costco areas. I'd like to caravan, but it's also a bit silly for a couple of us to go north, then south.

Home Depot gets pretty busy on Sundays, doesn't it? I just wanted to throw in a suggestion man. If no one wants to go to the Greenhouse Marketplace, fine, I'm not going to be butt hurt about it. No need to make the location official just yet in case someone else from this area has a better idea (not saying that mine is necessarily BETTER, but since I am from this area, I just felt like chiming in) and hasn't seen this thread yet.
