    Hey! Where's everybody going?!



    The PRE HB CRUISE AND BBQ!!! Lesa and I cordially invite you to hang out, cruise PCH and BBQ at our place Friday, April 27th as we start off the 11th annual 2018 Huntington Beach Cruise-In weekend!

    The doors will be open all day for folks coming in from out of town. Park your trailer on our safe street and don't worry about it for the weekend! Please indicate need in reply, space is limited to 4, possibly 5 trailers. Please be sure to mention status (maybe, definitely) when you indicate you need trailer parking.



    "What can we bring?" APPETIZERS! DESSERTS! And any refreshments you care to share. (This is not required. All we really need at the BBQ is YOU!)

    The grill is always open, but we kick it up a notch after the cruise, usually around 6pm:

    Dave, Ol Buddy . . . you're NOT getting away with NOT seeing my scruffy old face again this year. We, Mike and I, will be there with FFR3712 again this year. We'll bring whatever you might need to help out with the suspected crowd - food, beer, wine, sodas, water, Scooby snacks, dancing girls - well, maybe not the dancing girls. Ha-Ha-Ha.

    There might be a few more then usual from Vegas this year, our "F5 family" has grown and some have voiced an interest in the HB show this year.

    David,

    My wife Shelly and I are planning to take you up on your gracious offer to attend! Our plane doesn't land until after 6 so we may be a little late for the BBQ. I managed to get us a room at the Shorebreak, I am really excited about this whole thing!

    do you still have room for another truck/ trailer or just trailer? if so I'd like to snag a spot. I am beginning to see the problem with parking a trailer at a hotel. None have the space! Also put me down for 2 for the bbq. No just to finish the car! lol

    Hi David, my wife Tara and I are once again making the trip down from Canada. We are bringing Two Cars, so we would like two spots for Two Trucks & Trailers. Let me know if there is an issue with parking. Look forward to seeing you again.

    Please count me for 1 for the BBQ. I just got Go-Carted today, and I doubt I'll be legal to make the cruise, as Mammoth just got over 4 Ft of fresh. Time to Snowboard. So many different ways to play!

    Hey gang!

    Wow, 10 days in (t-minus 57) and we're way ahead of schedule. So many long distance travelers! SO MANY TRAILERS!

    39 Participants and 9 trailers. Don't worry about the attendee number, my home can take double that easily. The trailers though, that's a tough one. More than 2X usual.

    Actually, I think I have a plan for the trailers. I just have to talk to the city:



    We haven't decided on a cruise destination yet. I did talk to Hansen about a high-end storage garage off the 5 near the Irvine Spectrum. I'll keep you updated, and welcome alternative ideas.

    Hi David!

    Please count my wife Jennifer & I in for the BBQ & Cruise! We are coming down from the Sacramento Area. We just registered for the show and also reserved a spot at an RV park in Anaheim. We are bringing our 33 down in our toy hauler and plan to visit Disneyland while on this trip down to So Cal. Looking forward to a great FFR weekend! See you all soon!

    David, Please count my wife and I in for the BBQ and truck/trailer parking if possible! If parking in your neighborhood is not an option, please let me know. We are driving in from Detroit and I'm not familiar with HB. We booked our room at the Kimpton per your recommendation.

    Hi Dave,
    Please add me to the BBQ list as well as trailer parking. You mentioned that you had added me to the list in a private message when my photo was lucky enough to win the January picture of the month but asked to reply to your thread.
