Damn - I would definitely go out and meet you guys but I'm going to be out of town for this one. (Skydiving in NY)

It'd be great to meet some of the Tampa G's - When's the next meet?

Probably three or four weeks after the Cocoa Beach event on the 9th of September... around the first of October or so...

That's pretty cool...

Are there standard frequencies so different brands can talk together?

Only 5 of us? There aren't anyother g's in the bay area that are going to this?

Does anyone have the street address of the Wendy's we're meeting at so I can throw it in my gps.


edit:
6024 County Road 579, Seffner, FL

Is that the right one?

Ok if you want to meet at that one, it's acutally better for me... but Dan said it was the first exit after going under I75, and that one is actually before I4 goes under I75. To me it doesn't matter, just wanna make sure we're all on the same page.

Kyle had the correct address! This is the Wendy's on Exit 10 of I4 that Daniel mentioned above. It is the same Wendys we usually meet at to caravan East.

Wendys Seffner 522
6024 ST. RT. 579
Seffner, FL
33584

(813) 626-9273

This is going to be a super Meet! This is the kind of Meet that everyone says they wished they would have gone to after it is over... Don't miss it...

This is a good tip from Gilley.

Everyone should make sure they have enough gas to get them all the way to Cocoa Beach before we start out Saturday morning.

Here are Mapquest's driving directions from the Wendys at Exit 10 to the FGC AF Meet in Cocoa Beach. Mapquest says the distance is 122 miles and that it will take us two hours to get there. It also looks like there are some tolls on 417 and 528, so bring some change.

September 9th All Florida FGC Meet!
Lori Wilson Park
1500 N Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach
FROM SR-520 go south 1.4 miles on SR-A1A.
Phone: 321-455-1380

Plus, I talked to Dan tonight and he's also going to drive over with us.

The All-Florida Cocoa Beach Meet is Tomorrow!!!

Come on, Tampa people!!! It's still not too late to join the caravan and drive over to Cocoa Beach with the group!!!

For those of you that are meeting up at the Exit 10 Wendys, grab a copy of the FGC - Public contact list (cell phone numbers) from the FGC Member's Only area and print it out. That will help if you get lost or are running a bit late and want to call one of us. Bill (Ferk), Dan (SFLG35) and I will have our cell phones on.

Let's roll...

I imagine we'll probably roll out about 7:15 or so. I originally set the 7am time because I thought it would take three hours to get there. I think it will only take about two hours according to MapQuest. Glad to have you on board (tentatively).
