The Quarries on Isherwood would be cool as Hell..That was my playground growing up before they made it an actual park...
I forgot all about the Quarries. That place is cool and plenty of room also. We had a few company picnics there a while back.
quarry lakes is pretty cool. back in my Schwinn Stingray days we used to ride our bikes out there. of course it was just a quarry, no lakes. then go over to the "slime slide" on Alameda creek. there was a dam, and the other side was a gradual slope, covered in slimy moss. you could slide down the slime and splash into the creek. when you got home you were green from head to toe. now if you went into the creek you would get arrested. the good old days, when kids left the house at 9:00 A.M and rode all over town and didn't come back until dinnertime. when empty lots were prime areas to do whatever you wanted.
We did the same thing in the 80's! I remember a kid got killed out there about 1987, hit his head and drowned.I grew up around Shinn Park, the Quarries were our backyard..rode dirt bikes and mini bikes back there.any many other things I wont mention on here...lol
the first ever HAMBBQ was done up in the bay area. Well Livermore but still. Can't remember the park name. I still have the award somewhere for driving the longest distance to that one.
Yeah! Quarries in Fremont! Cruise in, BBQ, and relax. Simple. It doesn't get too crowded usually either. Also has tons of parking, and the benches/bbq pits aren't too far removed from parking. Let's do this Gooz!
Cool. The quaries it is (where is it again ) Now for some details! 1) Shooting for June 25 or 26th. Which day is better Saturday or Sunday? 2) I'll get a HAMB banner for all to sign. 3) Bring food to share with the group. 4) We'll need some tables and an EZup or two. 5) If your going to enjoy an adult beverage.. bring a red cup. 6) Let's make this family freindly.. bring the significant others and kids of you gott'em. 1.. 2... 3... Goooo HAMB TEAM!
Point Richmond has a bitchin little park, there is a neat model Train museum out there, it is also right on the bay. Easy parking for 1 to 250 cars, free and the weather is nice. Plus downtown Point Richmond is pretty cool too. PS...when you get off the freeway, head towards the water, if not, you end up in a piece of realestate that makes Watts look warm and cozy. check it at John T. Knox shore line/ Kellers Beach state park/Point Richmond, ca
Fremont would be cool, I'll have to check the dates and see what the people in our club are up too that day. I would imagine Saturdays are easier for most people. Sounds like fun guys!
Quarry Lakes address is 2100 Isherwood Way Fremont, CA 94536 Gooz, I'll bring a small folding table that can fit in my car, a couple chairs, my charcoal bbq and my EZ up. There are picnic benches and bbq pits, but they are kind of spread out from each other, so extra chairs would probably be a good idea.
june 25th is also the last originals show in pacifica at the bowling alley .......is this for hamb members only or car clubs too , that the belong in ? any how i vote for sunday the 26th....
I'll be at the Last Originals Sea Bowl car show on Saturday the 25th, so make it Sunday and it could be a great weekend.
So Sunday and I am sensing a Rib Cookoff of sorts might be in order? I got a dry rub recipe that is pretty badass
