agreed. So we would safely say that in lieu of a few hermit crab races Misquamicut would probably be pretty desolate. Besides the rich folks down the road in their seasonal beach mansions. I like it. We'll surely have to bring snacks and food, because that place will be deader than driftwood until May.

Lol, I go to New Haven sometimes, mostly for parts. Not the worst place in CT, but some parts are a real shiithole.

As far as places to meet, I know the guy that owns a BMW shop in Branford, CT. There's a decent parking lot across the street where they've held smallish meets before. There isn't any pretty scenery, but it does the trick, I suppose. They've hosted meets before, and I'm sure they would be cool if I asked them. If you want to check it out on google maps, the address is 428 north harbor st, branford ct.
I like this idea, it's a bit more sound than crashing a "closed" state beach.

well fella's it's up to you, I'm in the middle. Either way is just about as far for me. since we're the only one in right now we make the executive decision. Branford, CT. or Misquamicut, RI state park. Anyone else who's in after us will be at the mercy of out decision hahaha

I live in a decently small town, so I know of parking lots that are pretty desolate, where we wouldn't be bothered. Some in the middle of the woods, but they would only hold 5-10 cars snugly. Nothing interesting around here, though. Just trees. :dunno:

Edit: places like this:



Might be cool for some pictures, and Bridgeport is only a few minutes away, so there's plenty of places to get food or something.

I'm checking into my old hometown of Webster MA to see what times of the year "Webster lake"(lakeChargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg)is open to the public free of entry fee. It's not a bad place, it's mostly dirt parking but has park grills and stuff and I grew up there so I know for a fact you can access it year round. The one problem being... I'm not sure if it's lowered car friendly. last I knew there's a speed bump control point for the summer time. but you may be able to drive around it. and by you, i mean... me.

and lastly there can be no fuuckery because the police station is at the head of the road. but fear not, its public access so we can have a meet there under the pretense of a cookout.

EDIT: My source says we're a GO year round. it's my stomping ground too, i know places to eat, mini golf, twisty roads, photoshoot locs. ect ect.

Wait, are these like official events listed somewhere? At this rate I know I'm going to miss it, I have no idea when these things are going on, I just wanna do my first car meet!
This is just something a bunch of us New Englanders are trying to throw together, if you want to trek up all the way from NJ I support it. :thumbup:
