Scottz71 · 04-09-2007, 10:06 AM

Time to vote on Location...also Rock Creek park was a suggestion. If you are voting for that site, please do so via reply below.

I am down for anywhere! But I voted Fairfax, I think we could find a lot of cool roads to drive on there too!

KL2DC · 04-09-2007, 12:13 PM

Hmmm a lot of options...I'm only familiar with a handful but I'm down with wherever

bavarian19 · 04-09-2007, 01:01 PM

Lets pick a park to go to so we can all fit and go a biiiig photoshoot.

As I have offered in the past, I would be willing to man the grill if people were to bring items for me to cook...

Scottz71 · 04-09-2007, 01:27 PM

AJ is manning the grill -- one task accounted for...many to go.

ase2dais · 04-09-2007, 02:15 PM

Scotty, should we just closed this too and discussed everything at our main meet thread, it becomes confusing tracking and keeping up on whats being said and when.

BK · 04-09-2007, 02:38 PM

I actually voted Burke Lake. I hadn't even thought of that before, but I've been there and it's a pretty cool area. Although it's a little far for our brothers in Maryland... so now if I could take my vote back and vote again, it would be for Great Falls (as long as it's early enough that we don't have a long wait to get in).

For those in Montgomery County, Great Falls Park in VA is very, very close. Just get off the Beltway at Georgetown Pike (193) and enjoy the drive for a few miles, then the park entrance is on the right. For those further out in MD or further south in VA, it may be a bit of a haul. Good big parking lots and excellent picnic space, though. I'm not sure if beer is allowed in the park (I think not).

FrankoQ · 04-09-2007, 03:01 PM

Anywhere is fine with me.
another location would be rockville/potomac area.
I'm more concerned about the date.

WxSquid · 04-09-2007, 03:04 PM

I voted other for Rock Creek. I'd really appreciate it if we could stay close to the Potomac, as anything beyond that turns into a really long nightmare drive at times; yes, even on the weekend.

We'll definitely try to accomodate everyone. I wouldn't want you to miss your 2nd Spring Fling. Time flies eh Frank? It's been just about a whole year since your first outing at Passport

Scottz71 · 04-09-2007, 03:30 PM

I'll defer to what the group wants....if it's on the 20th, I don't think I'm able to make it...but we'll see. It is also quite a nightmare drive for us Loudoun folks to get into DC, or deal with Maryland...so we'll have to find a compromise of some kind.

Scottz71 · 04-09-2007, 03:32 PM

PLEASE DO NOT POST TO THIS THREAD or POLL, see the main discussion area for the Spring Meet/BBQ

pseto · 04-09-2007, 04:10 PM

Last year, we had an X5world meet at Cameron Run Park, just off of 495 and Wilson Bridge in VA. Although its kinda far for us MD folks, it wasn't that bad. There's a big parking lot that we used to take pics, a covered picnic area, bathrooms, playground, etc. Pretty good site for a meet and if anyone wants me to get info, let me know.

thd13 · 04-09-2007, 05:32 PM

I am down for where ever. However, I will vote for the Laurel/Greenbelt area since it is close to me. Haha.

KrnNamja83 · 04-24-2007, 12:20 AM

I vote for Fairfax, Fountain head park for the fun drive in and always empty parking lot =)

Scottz71 · 04-24-2007, 10:10 AM

The BBQ is taking place at River Bend Park in Great Falls, VA.

Please keep all discussion to the planning thread.

ase2dais · 04-24-2007, 10:29 AM

+1

alot of discussion, coordination and some planning already went for Riverbend, and as most can see from early poll results is the best place to hold this meet.
I concur, pls use the BBq planning thread
