EVENT: SoCalXJ.com 11th Annual Fiesta Island Picnic on Sat Aug 24th.

[mikedashg]

Saturday, August 24th, 2013. Mark your calendars!


Come one, come all. It's time for the SoCalXJ Fiesta Island BBQ Picnic Potluck Swapmeet Show'n'shine Hootenanny Cavalcade!


This is the 11th year in a row we drive are XJs to the beach during the summer time for some good food, and water play (Jet ski's, boats, kayaks, sandcastles, fire pits, etc). Bring some food for yourself, and some to share if you like. We can use some tables if you have them.

Feel free to drive your daily drivers, RVs, tow rigs, TJs, whatever, if that's all you have, driving/owning an XJ is not required, it's just encouraged. You don't have to be a member of SoCalXJ.com Yahoo Group either.


TIME:
Morning until whenever, but show up any time! Typically, sunrise to just before sunset. Official beach hours are 6am-10pm. Island access does close, with no camping.

SWEET! good times! i should be in since it's pretty close

 

[WAZZUXJ]

I wanted to make this event last year! I am marking this on my calender now!

 

[tharlanjr]

Aww. You had to put a picture of my old ZJ up. Miss that thing.

I will definitely be there.

 

[WraithKWK]

I missed last year, I'll be at this one.

 

[Carol.92124]

It's always a great time! And yes, that pic is old... before any of the lift I currently have! I'm thinking that was 2008, because I think I had a bit of lift by summer 2009... And Cali didn't have her sticker collection on her window yet, either, and I got her in June 2008 & I can't imagine I'd have left her windows nekkid for over a year...

Regardless, I'll be there...

 

[WraithKWK]

Regardless, I'll be there...

In that case I'm out ...

 

[Carol.92124]

Yeah, sure, Kris. I'll believe it when I don't see you there. And then I'll tell you all about how amazing it was, at the next M&G... =)

 

[WraithKWK]

Figured this deserved another bump

 

[eflosd]

[Stihl029]

I plan on showing up as well, just transfered down this summer and havent been able to make it to any of the other meet and greet's locally.

 

[karstic]

Slim chance. Let's see how the home and XJ projects go this week.

 

[CharlesS]

Oh come on Stephen....
You know you want to go...
Hope to see you there !!!!

 

[tharlanjr]

I think I am out. Forgot to take the day off. Got Friday off instead. Depending on when I get off I might swing by. I think it will be my first time bringing an XJ to one of these. lol

I got a few lbs of carne asada and a bunch of little corn tortillas for street tacos.

 

[djblade311]

my jeep life has taken a serious backseat beating and molestation due to home selling and finding a new house. I have home inspections set for Saturday so I cant come.

But on a good note, I DID replace some ball joints last weekend!

 

[WraithKWK]

Still have the rear leafs and Sye to install tomorrow, hopefully I'll be able to make it

 

[tharlanjr]

Well, how was the turn out?

 

[CharlesS]

Overall the BBQ was quite enjoyable... and the weather was beautiful.
In the course of the day there were more than 2 dozen XJs, 1 KJ and a few other vehicles in attendance.
Potluck food was very good with quite a selection to choose from....

 

[Carol.92124]

It rocked, as always, Tom =). Sorry you missed it. Be more careful what day you take off next year!! LOL
