San Diego: Fred's Burgers, Alpine, Saturday 11/06/2010 5pm - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

DET MSCL · 11-05-2010, 11:14 AM

Calling all cars!

A number of classic car enthusiasts (including 2010 owners like me!) are meeting this Saturday for burgers and fries. Here are the details:

Time: Saturday, November 6th, 2010, 5:00 - 07:00 pm (1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month)
Place: Fred's Old Fashioned Burgers, 2754 Alpine Blvd # H, Alpine, CA

I was thinking, for those who want to go, we meet somewhere between 4:00 - 04:30 pm, then caravan there! A cool start location is Mission San Diego De Alcala (10818 San Diego Mission Road, San Diego, CA), then it is a nice 30 minute cat-n-mouse drive to Fred's in Alpine (bring your radar detectors and Motorola-style 2-way radios if you have 'em). Here is a proposed Google route:

Fred's Old Fashioned Burgers, 2754 Alpine Blvd # H, Alpine, CA

If you haven't been to the Mission San Diego De Alcala, there is a 'tricky' but fun (it's gotta be fun, right?) way to get into the "circular patio" parking lot in the heart of the Mission (there is room for 40 cars, I have personally counted the spaces), so unless a wedding going on between 4:00 - 4:30 pm, it will be a blast to meet there and caravan out!

Here is the "back way" in...take Friars Road EAST off I-15 exit, turn right (SOUTH) at light on Rancho Mission Road. Just as the road snakes to your right, look for an almost hidden driveway on your LEFT (EAST side of curve) bordered by trees / bushes, there should be a sign there, I believe it says "Nazareth School"...the driveway is only wide enough for 2 cars. Drive to the small parking lot and thru it keeping virtually straight (no sharp turns), go past the basketball courts on your right (road narrows), then past another parking lot on your left...keep going staying right...you should then see an entrance to the Mission's parking lot thru an arched gate (drive SLOW)...if you zoom in all the way in the start of the Google route, look for the circular ring of trees with red "spokes" in the map...that is the place!

If you look at the zoomed in map of the Mission, you will see there is a lower level parking lot for the Mission, and a road UP to that same "circular patio" parking lot in the heart of the Mission, but I have seen the gate there closed when the upper gate has been open (knock on wood). If for any reason that upper 'secret' gate is closed, several parking lots are right there we can hook up to start our caravan from!

sounds like fun, when you say motorola radios are you talking FRS walkie talkie style?
I"ll try to make it, if i can't catch you at the mission i may try to meet you by el cajon on 8

Yep, those 5-mile, 8-mile, 10-mile...25-mile (and more?) walkie talkies! I wasn't sure if you wanted to "back track" west to the Mission, but if you have the gas-to-burn, will be fun to meet up with you there!

DET MSCL · 11-05-2010, 05:34 PM

I will upload photos of the 'secret entrance' to the Mission this evening, check below later...

Entrance: as Rancho Mission Road curves right, just south of Friars Road...
[NOTE: use the single center turning lane on the curve if you are unfamilar with the area]

Left side: Don't worry about the red "Fire Department Access" sign...it doesn't bite...

Right side: "Private Property, No Trespassing" does NOT apply to 5th Gen Camaros...

Gonzo · 11-05-2010, 05:38 PM

I will try to make it. Picking up the car from the paint shop tomorrow - got some new rally stripes painted.

Michael_Js · 11-05-2010, 05:55 PM

Thanks for setting this up! If I didn't already have a previous activity scheduled, and paid for, I'd go!

MichaelH · 11-05-2010, 07:19 PM

arod55 · 11-05-2010, 07:31 PM

Weather permitting, I will be there. Rain in forecast. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee hamburgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Michael, sorry for the short notice, one of those impromptu events! We will split a basket of Onion Rings for you...

It should be fun...just be sure to "go wide and slow" on the last turn into the Mission "circular patio" parking lot if you meet us there!

Armando, I haven't seen that forecast, but will watch tonight's broadcast...I will keep my fingers crossed!

ALL, see the photos from my earlier post of the 'secret entrance' to the Mission...

YOURWORSTNIGHTMARE · 11-05-2010, 09:40 PM

How could a place called Fred's Burgers not be an adventure! Depending on the weather and my frame of mind at the time, I may try and tag along

jrkinsd · 11-05-2010, 11:40 PM

Use the address in the route in Post #1, I think it is the address in the 'secret' entrance photos I posted, but that entrance is on a north/south cross street...

The weather is looking good for tonight, looking forward to seeing everyone!

MichaelH · 11-06-2010, 02:32 PM

ok jus looked it up on google maps and it looks pretty easy to get to

robscamaro · 11-06-2010, 02:41 PM

Looks like it will be the whole Family with me if we can make it> We have a Volleyball Tournament first. If we dont make it by 4:30 we will just head out to Alpine and meet you there at Freds

robscamaro · 11-06-2010, 04:39 PM

No things did not go as planned count me out maybe next time.

We'll miss you, the weather is looking a bit dicey, but will still meet at the Mission and see...

DET MSCL · 11-06-2010, 05:48 PM

At the Mission, in the circular parking lot...will depart for Alpine at 04:30 pm...the sun is still out!!!

DET MSCL · 11-07-2010, 09:33 AM

The weather held out (barely, the temperature dipped into the high 50s in Alpine), but we enjoyed the event. Lot's of wild "Over the Hill Gang" members were there as well as fellow CCSD members, but their "rides" were sorely absent due to the risk of a sprinkle (or so was their story)...

Armando, glad you and Alice (Alicia?) made it, and John, sorry for the timing hiccup...the cruise out from the Mission and back from Alpine was fun.

H1Chester · 11-07-2010, 11:28 PM

I just saw this thread tonight! If I had seen this earlier this week I would probably had the chance to make it out for this one! Oh well next time!

Gonzo · 11-08-2010, 12:16 AM

Sorry I did not make it. Got held up at the paint shop and did not get the car until after you guys left. Maybe next time. FYI, stripes came out great!

Sorry for the (very) short notice on the event...and yes, "Next Time" is always open...

6BANGER · 11-13-2010, 10:08 AM

I might make the "Next Time" Too

Firebreed · 11-13-2010, 10:11 PM

So when is this next time

Fred's Old Fashioned Burger meets are the 1st, 3rd, and 5th (if applicable) Saturdays of each month...so, the next one will be this Saturday, the 20th. I will be out-of-town at my stepson's surprise birthday party in Torrance, so the next one I could make would be Saturday, December 4th (once a month is enough for me).

The one on the 6th of this month was my first...be forewarned the "Over the Hill Gang" folks can get R-rated at times...

Here is a link to our Club's Event Calendar, it shows what is going on, when and where (via Google Maps!)...
Camaro Club of San Diego Events Calendar

If there are fun events you know about that would be of interest to local Camaro folks, let me know the details and I will add to our Calendar! Check out the Sunday, December 12th "Christmas Cruise" (I don't think it is a cruise...it is a Street Master Charity Event), and the mid-January 2011 "Meet and Greet" being planned in Temecula with the IECC (Inland Empire Camaro Club)!

View Poll Results: Planning to go to Fred's Burgers...
YES! I will meet at Mission San Diego De Alcala	2	33.33%
YES! I will meet at Fred's Old Fashioned Burgers	0	0%
NOPE, can't make it, maybe on another Saturday!	4	66.67%
Voters: 6. You may not vote on this poll
