I'm pretty sure I'm in. Just bought a new truck yesterday. I'll have to test her out.

Cool, get out the Carnuba
Press release
The following press release was sent to all Portland and Seattle stations along with the newspapers.I have minutes ago had a response from KING 5 .We had roughly 70 or so at Willow Lake,(so far the largest gathering to date) so in light of Kurk Kirby's trial on the 1st and in response to other incidents there I challenge the group to make this bigger!!!
Armed citizens to gather at Esther Short Park in Vancouver
In light of recent incidents (i.e. the Kurk Kirby case, Vancouver Columbian March 2010 set for trial Oct.1st) of unlawful detainment by law enforcement in Vancouver, along with other violations of the 4th amendment, statewide Open Carry will be putting on a picnic in Esther Short Park.
The purpose will be for Open Carry.org Washington in conjunction with gun owners from around the state to get together for the purpose of educating the public on Washington’s gun laws and the rights of citizens in exercising their 2nd amendment as re affirmed by the Heller and McDonald decisions.
Place: Esther Short Park, Vancouver Washington
Date and Time: Sept.25th at 1 Pm
In addition, bans on so called city property violates state preemption RCW 941.290 as indicated in Washington state attorney general Rob McKenna’s opinion dated Oct. 13 2008.AGO 2008#8. The right to bear arms is also contained in the constitution of the United States and the state of Washington. We all know these bans never work! “…all power is inherent in the people...it is their right and duty to be at all times armed…” Thomas Jefferson

A nice little addition would to have mention the convoy heading south so there might be coverage when they gather and depart.

Hopefully some of the folks involved have camera or video setups that can record portions of the convoy AND of the picnic.
The 72nd and Hosmer meet point is one my car group often starts from for it's cruises... here's the start of one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roy8_a0GI3Y
(My vehicle is usually the six o'clock position, so I usually run video the whole way, plus we all have GMRS/FRS walki-talkies so we can stick together and if there's a problem we can respond. We've run dozens of these.)
Have a great time, folks! Wish I were able to make it.

It looks like I'll have to back out of this one. I got a call this afternoon asking me to cover one of the weekend shifts. Can't really afford to turn it down.

Meguires changed their step 3 to some new goofy something, I have yet to check it out, but it still has Carnuba.

You don't know what "cruising" is? Why it's one of the basic rites of passage. You get a driver's license, buy a cool car, and then waste gallons of gas just driving back and forth showing it off. Usually on a main street where lots of people are doing likewise.
Squirreling is what you do when you are bored with just cruising, have enough HP to spin your wheels, and have enough money to buy tires and pay tickets. This usually involves a parking lot or intersection with room to make those nice circular black marks called "doughnuts". A tip for those with the underpowered economy cars that have a hard time spinning wheels. Just take a quart of motor oil, pour some near each drive wheel, pull onto the puddle, then do an impressive "NASCAR style" burnout. Some say it impresses your friends.
What I find funny about this is that every generation from the 40's has done this to some extent or another. When they grow up and have kids, they tell their kids not to and if they catch them they'll take away their wheels. Then, when they have grandkids and retire, they go out and buy cars just like they used to drive when they were teens, then go "cruising and squirreling". The cycle of life.

Depends on how close your girlfriend or wife is sitting to you while you are doing that. Boy I sure miss those old bench seats.

Rides and Parking
I'm watching the weather a bit and it doesn't look too bad....is anyone else going to ride their MC to this meet?
The parking would be a heck of a lot easier....and I may do that.
Speaking of parking, there is a big group sponsoring a run of some sort Sat AM that doesn't finish until the afternoon in the park.....
Parking "may" be an issue, since it is severly limited around the park....the Hilton has some underground parking available (unsure what's there for the public), but the park is on the NW corner of the intersection, Hilton on the SW corner...
On the NE corner and just a little east is underground public parking for 10-12 bucks a day....
Otherwise, you may be able to find some street parking and feed a meter if required on the weekend.
