Title: Mission bay meetup July 10th Fiesta Island
Post by: knightrider on June 25, 2021, 08:10:48 PM
Ok, we all need to get out.


Fiesta Island meet up or whatever. 
Fourth is coming but that sounds like a terrible idea, the weekend after or something.  I know Jay, Randy and I have kayaks, if anyone else wants to join bring em. 

We can do a potluck, everyone bring a lil something or eat your own food, I don't care. 

What say you?

I'd love to meet up with everyone if I can fit it in. I only have about two more weeks until I head off to the Northern lands of our nation for the summer.

If it makes you feel any better, I would gladly hook you up with about 1000ml of Lactated Ringers and a NPA in place of his new toy?

I think either the 10th or the 17th would work for me.

The 10th might be the only day I could make it. It would be nice to see everyone.

It shall be done, 10th it is so we can send off eric to the great white north.

I think the location of the last one was a good spot so maybe we go back there unless anyone has a better spot?

Well that's double whammy:

#1: You can't go.
#2: You have to go to Bend.

Yeah, you can never trust a place called Bend, OR. :P

Actually, it's been 25 years since I was there last and the place has really changed.  There are some really nice areas once you get a few miles West of the highway.

Are there kayaks for rent there?

Fiesta Island is an old landfill they dumped a whole lot of sand on. There isn't really anything there other than a place to picnic or fish etc. There are kayak rentals close though. Here is just one of them: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mission+bay+sports+center&bext=wcr&atb=v252-1&ia=places&iai=2040608&iaxm=places

The other one is a few hundred yards away: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mission+bay+sports+center&bext=wcr&atb=v252-1&ia=places&iaxm=places&iai=2205316

There are more up and down the coast but these are easy to get to and if you are feeling energized at the end of this you can paddle back to turn it in.

They’re really cheap to rent too! Maybe we’ll rent one to join you guys if we’re up for it! What time is this meet at?

Post by: knightrider on July 05, 2021, 11:40:32 AM
I will probably try to get out there early just to get a decent spot but anytime people want to come out is fine.

Dang I have to miss this one. I am 2 hrs away from Truckee right now.  Going to spend the week and a half up here.

Post by: JFanaselle on July 08, 2021, 11:24:00 AM
Looks like I'll have to miss this one, too. Sorry everyone. I had already committed to another event on Saturday afternoon. I MIGHT drive down there in the morning just to say hi, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll make it.

The wife and boy will be out of town. Ironically, they'll be in Bend, OR. They're leaving Saturday morning and won't be back until Tuesday. I'm raising my eyebrow in suspicion, Woody  lol

Make sure they know it's hot then hell up here.  Last week was 109, next week will be touching 100.

Are they coming here by choice or are you sending them away.
Title: Re: Mission bay meetup July 10th Fiesta Island
Post by: JFanaselle on July 08, 2021, 09:18:19 PM
They're going by choice. Her grandmother lives in Bend along with a bunch of her aunts and uncles and cousins. Her and her mom usually go up there to visit every 2 years or so. Her grandmother turns 92 years old next week, and this will probably be her last chance to go visit her. The grandmother is doing pretty well overall, but when you're that old, you're definitely on borrowed time.

Jessica is well aware of the heat up there right now. None of her family up there have AC, so she actually got a hotel room at the Best Western just to have a nice cool room to retire to.

Are the Coordinates posted at the begging of this thread still the meet spot. This will be my first time here. Will it be pretty easy to find you guys or should i grab someone’s number to call when down there?
Title: Re: Mission bay meetup July 10th Fiesta Island
Post by: Celt on July 09, 2021, 10:28:13 PM
Once you go onto Fiesta Island take the immediate right. Follow that around for about a mile or so. Once you wrap around back towards the south start looking out on your right for some built up Xterras. If you miss them it's a huge circle around and you will come back around to where we are. Shouldn't be hard to moss miss Fiesta Island is pretty small and there won't be any other group of us out there tomorrow.
