I'm checking around right now. Some really cool parks up near the mountains need a reservation. There are a couple of other nice city parks that would do that don't require a reservation that we could fall back on if we need to. I'll prioritize this and see if i can get an answer tomorrow...
thanks michael for doing that!
I propose we meet at Eaton Canyon Natural Area, a Los Angeles County Park in Pasadena. There are several areas with picnic tables - we should be able to get at least one table on Sunday, as they normally don't all fill up. I'll get there early to reserve an area with two or three tables. Here are directions to the park:
From the 210 Freeway eastbound, exit at Sierra Madre Boulevard/Altadena Drive. Turn left (north) at the first light (Altadena Drive) and go 1.6 miles to the park entrance.
From the 210 Freeway westbound, exit at San Gabriel Boulevard/San Marino. Turn right (north) at the second light (Altadena Drive) and go 1.5 miles to the park entrance.
Eaton Canyon Natural Area is located at 1750 North Altadena Drive, one block north of New York Drive in Pasadena, California. There is a sign on the east side of the street which clearly marks the entrance to the Park.
There is a map at this link: http://www.ecnca.org/Information/NatureCenter/Directions_To_Canyon.htm
I have a digital detail map of the park that shows the locations of the picnic areas. I'll send it to anyone that requests it. I'll provide my cell phone number to anyone who requests a map so that you can call me on your way in and find out which area I've been able to reserve for us.
See you Sunday!

sounds good to me! please PM me your cell.
Good Mornin' Peeps!Hey, I'm all for it, however, I did want to note that the forecast for Sat. may include a 40% chance of rain, altho as the time grows closer, as better prediction may be available ~
Hoooray!
Purpod
heres a weather update...
OK I will be there and bringing the Tort food (salad). I checked the Weather in the 91101 zipcode area for Pasadena and it shows a 30% chance of rain on Sunday (sorry Cory I couldn't read yours). Do we have an alternate plan if we are rained out?
no alternate plan yet...
its gonna be hard to improvise because we can't take our own food to restaurants...

Indeed, we can't BYOF to a restaurant, nor will our shelled friend Lil'Foot be welcomed in an eating establishment... so what do ya'll think, Peeps?
I'd hate to miss out on meeting everyone, including Lil'Foot!
And yes, HW Private Reserve will be in tow
I'll keep my eyeballs posted as to what we're gonna have in case we get rained upon {not that I will melt, mind you; I may be sweeet, but I'm not made of only sugar, lol}
Keep in Touch ~

My only concern is the weather. It's not that big of a deal for me to turn around and go home if it rains, but some folks are driving from a considerable distance. It would be a bad thing if those people drove all the way in and the skies decided to open up and rain on us, you know? If you guys are ok with taking that chance, I'm still up for meeting.
ok so those who are driving far are josh, purpod, and crazy1... what do you guys think? i'll let you decide. im close enough where it wont matter.
I agree with Michael, the weather is my concern. Do we change this up to a restaurant (pizza place) and not take the chance of getting rained on (that would leave little foot out of the meeting) or do we take the chance of getting rained on. I'll go with the majority. Whatever you all decide will be fine with me.
if you want to go to a pizza place that is cool. my roommate owns a pizza place. its in zip code 91344. off the 118 freeway at balboa. i can still bring littlefoot since we own the place, but i will have to keep her in a large container. but there is grass across the street we can let her walk around.
Happy Hallows Eve, Peeps!
I look at it this way, if Lil'Foot can make the journey, so can I!
If someone can tell me a time, I'll be there with bells on Also, I'll need your number Doc, unless you know which area we will be at..? I'll be the purpod peep in the white Acura.
Enjoy your evenings ~
Cya soon,
