2005 Summer Meetup?

engunneer · 07-03-2005, 03:59 PM

I'd like to get together with other Prius owners for a picture shoot. I have a hobby of spherical panoramic photography, and would love to see i ring of Prii. (Nose in around the camera or something. We could even have each person sitting in thiers for the shoot.)

Any takers? I vote for somewhere around Seattle, or maybe down towards Kent? (Basically about a 45 min drive from downtown seattle would work well for me.)

Count me in.

im good. any sunday will do. any other day is good but will need at least two weeks notice.

some ideas we were kicking around. a group photo with Prius and identifiable NW landmark.

Alki Point would be good with Space Needle behind us. also some thought Diablo Dam on North Cascades Hiway would be cool. bit far out for everyone but killer scenery.

I'll be in and out this summer/early fall, but I'd love to be there.

DaveinOlyWA · 07-07-2005, 04:46 PM

great!! now that we have some interest, how about some suggestions for possible meet spots?

bookrats · 07-09-2005, 08:40 PM

I'm very ignorant of local geography, but a thought:

Is there a park or picnic area along Puget Sound, south of Tacoma, where we could meet? Or, alternatively, a restaurant?

I've seen a number of them when I've taken Amtrak down to Portland; it's always struck me as a nice place to meet. (No idea if it's practical.)

Frank Hudon · 07-09-2005, 09:26 PM

you guy's and gal's down there will have to pick the spot as your knowledge of the sound is way better than mine, soooo pick a spot and lets get on with it.

DaveinOlyWA · 07-14-2005, 05:11 PM

ok sooo no one has a suggestion??

now, i dont know how this will work or even if its viable. saw it on the google Earth program. there is an island just south of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on hiway 16 called Fox Island. it looks pretty cool from a satellite perspective and the there is a bridge on the Kitsap side of the bridge that goes out there. i will check to see if there is anywhere public we can meet.

it does kinda look like a super rich private area only type of place so i might just take a ride out there to scout around. anyone know anything about it?
