FL West Coast Meeting - August 13th

All

I checked into the car show at Gators on the 13th. Looks like a modest event. It is free and on from Noon til 5.00pm. If we want to be in the show, we should get there a little before noon.

A good alternative might be the parking at Johns Pass Boardwalk. From here it is a couple of minutes walk across the street to the beach or across the bridge to Gators.

We could wrap up with a cruise south along Gulf Boulevard to Passe a Grille for cocktails at the Hurricane.

Is this still a good date for most people?

I still want to come over for one of your west coast events but unfortunately I'm in Texas on the 13th taking my daughter back to college

Maybe this is a bad weekend for people ... it is right in the heart of back to school time. Would there be more interest if it was moved out a little further?

Whenever you decide to hold it we will be there (barring any more nasty weekend overtime for Lonnie!).

I'm going to head down to Gators on Sunday. I'll plan to arrive around 11.30 - 11.45. This should enable us to get parking together. If anyone is coming from out of town, Gators can be found immediately south of the draw bridge at John's Pass. If you are approaching from the East, once in St Petersburg, travel west on Central Avenue. This will take you to Treasure Island. At the very end of Central, turn right (North) on Gulf Blvd. Just before you get to the draw bridge, there is a small road / drive on the right with a sign for Gators.

An easier / more scenic route would be head south on I275. Take the St Pete Beach exit (watch out for this otherwise you might end up with an unplanned trip over the Sunshine Skyway bridge!) Take the Pinellas Bayway to St Pete Beach. Turn right onto Gulf Blvd at the Don Cesar (big pink hotel). Travel north towards Madeira Beach (watch out for the swing right / left at the traffic light at end of St Pete Beach) This will take you through Treasure Island and as above look for the right turn before the draw bridge.

The beach is literally across the street so bring flip flops and sun screen! The boardwalk at Johns Pass has lots of restaurants, bars and many interesting shops to explore!

Hope to see you there!

Hey guys, it was great to meet up with you at Gators. It was nice to finally put a face to the screen names. Here's the video I shot just before we left...

We had a blast there yesterday, JSnipe you should've stayed a little longer Gasser took us for a ride around the bay in his boat later that evening . That was a great way to end the day. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to do it again.

Thats Cool! Yeah I wish I didnt have to leave so early, but my wife and I had already made plans to pick up our new daughter...

This is Annabelle. She is 2.8lbs, 8 weeks old and already putting our 1 1/2 year old yorkie in his place.
