So I think it would be kind of cool to arrange a get-together of as many SoCal 4Runners as possible.
This would be a combined
- meet/show/shine
- family BBQ
- some offroad trecking for those who want to
- a one day affair (could be longer if people wanted to, especially those traveling from SD etc.)
Given the spread of people, I was thinking of meeting up in the Big Bear area (central location) where there are lots of different trails people can drive depending upon whether they have 2 or 4wd.
As an example, if we met up at Balsam Drive and drove the Skyline Drive (2hrs / 13miles) stopping at Aspen Glen Picnic Area for a lunch BBQ. (Skyline Drive is rated an easy drive for any SUV, with great scenery). From there we could separate into two groups, those wanting some 4wd action and those wanting to take the 2wd option.
Given that many of the T4R members don't seem to drive off-road, this trip would be a great middle ground between an actual offroad trip and a carpark meet. Combining a BBQ would also encourage a friendly atmosphere where guys can bring their significant others to chat about girl things while the guys discuss...well....you know. I hope there will be some guys (maybe not from this forum) who will attend with other generations - some maybe well modified for offroading. Would be of interest to anyone with a 4Runner!
So what do you think? Would you be interested in something like this?
I am thinking either late April or early May with lots of promotion. I may be able to even get some give-a-way prizes from a 4x4 shop.
Thoughts?
Cheers
