That would be cool.

H, check out Barnsdell or Barnsdale park. It's up at the top of Lake Ave in Pas. but it has horseshoe pits, bbq, is fairly open, easy to get to and is the top of the hill.

Herping is just 5 minutes away for those so inclined.

I tried to google it and I get a park in Hollywood? Got any other info?

This is the only park that had hiking in Pasadena that i could find

http://www.ecnca.org/

It's Farnsworth Park.

I don't know why my brain pulls up Barnsdall, I've never been there but even when I was scouting this place a few months ago I was looking for Barnsdall and meaning Farnsworth.

http://www.lacountyparks.org/Parkinf...tle=Farnsworth

I liked it, but it is about 30 minutes from Alhambra with no traffic.

That place looks really nice. There is some hiking/Herping nearby?

This sounds like fun, I will be there!! I don't care where it's held, a park sounds like a good idea though.. Heather, let us know what you need us to do.....

could always do it in Whittier narrows park right off of the 60 fwy. Thats a little bit closer to our friends out in the riverside direction. Nvm I like Wes' idea better. That place looks pretty cool. THen we can all go on a wacky herping adventure lol.

Alright, unfortunately March 21st isn't going to work anymore. March 28th looks much better for me.

As for the parks, Wes's idea sounds fine to me. Farnsdell park sounds good, so if anyone has any issues, please let me know. I'll give it a couple of days to see what others think, and then I will make a reservation!

Hi,
This is my first time posting here, but a SoCal event sounds great! Anyone coming down to San Diego for the Reptile show in June?

Hey Maki while at the San Diego show get with Heather and tell her to introduce ya to me she is a great intro person lol

Alrighty people, since there has not been any issue with Farnsworth, I am going to see what I can do about a reservation.

MARCH 28TH!!!

Live it, love it, put it on your calendar :)

Awesome, Calandar had been marked.

is there anyone near the crenshaw/koreatown/downtown l.a. area i might be able to carpool with?

i'd really like to be able to go but unfortunately i have no car and the park is so far (with no car).

Marked it on my calendar! I'd love to go!

March 28th, check. Dunno if the Brit will be able to come with, but we'll see how things go...=)

I think we will shoot for 12PM to start gathering up.

Done and Done

I will definetely be there I owe a few of you some money also so i will see what I can get together for you guys (you know who you are)

Ok so, address to park? Directions? How far from you H-dub?

:(

oh man.. the 28th.. I might be in the east coast!

Noone ever tells me anything.

What a BMF .. Wonginator... No soup for you. :D
Actually, I think you brought it up and I just didn't listen. hehe..

Took me almost 2 weeks to find this post! :weirdface

Hope I can make it. If I do I will bring Joe's spicy rice.

Okay:

Bring something food related. I'll be bringing the basics. (Meat)

Bring something that you can share. This will be potluck! Bring enough for at least 20 people.

It will be in Farnsworth Park, in Altadena.

I'm not sure about parking, but I'll be taking a trip out there this week to scope it out.

http://parks.lacounty.gov/Parkinfo.a...tle=Farnsworth
568 East Mount Curve Avenue
Altadena, CA 91001
(626) 798-6335

It's about 40 mins away from me.

I'm not sure if its a dry park, but if you want, bring what you want.

Anyone is welcome. Please just remember that it is family friendly...

I need people to bring:

Chairs for themselves
Plates, napkins, cups
Lots of Food
A great attitude, and any friends that may want to join!



Am I forgetting anything?

I think you've got it covered!!! I'll bring my famous cheeseball (it's only famous cause it's the ONLY thing I make....... Ha ha....) Let me know if we need to bring anything else and we can try and work it out!!! See ya in 2 weeks!!!! :D

Sounds like you guys are set for a super time. Make sure to take lots of pics and we are looking forward to the Second Annual Cali United Picnic

Sounds like lots of fun! Make sure someone brings a camera for some blackmail shots. :D

Good info...

Let's start a check list...
If your bringing something especially a necessity (plates, cups.. ) please list it.
This will help prevent a situation like everyone bringing plates and noone brings cups....
hehee

I want to bring Ice Cream but I don't think it will make it there. A 40 minute drive... just the thought that it may melt and I wouldn't want that to go to waste... I will be one full herper with a big spoon and a fat smile... hehee

I will bring Fried rice.

Its ALLLLL Photographer!

Alright everyone so here is the deal, The park reservations are not free, They are 90 bucks. We can front the money but it would be a tremendous help if everyone could pitch in and help. 5-10 bucks would be great.

Please PM me or Heather and let us know if you are able to pitch in. We need to know as soon as possible

Thanks!

Not necessary.

I'll be going early to camp out for a spot instead. No need to donate to the reservation.

Me and Laurie will be there, hope to see the rest of the local Cowabunga folks:cool:

I will be there. Definetely bringing something to drink although I think that would be considered drinking in public :O. Well its worth a try. As for food I will think of something. as long as everyone lists what they are bringing so we dont get any repeats.

I definitely think booze is off the list, We don't need a bunch of BP.net gathering mug shot photos...

i'm sorry to be repeating my post but this is sounding more and more fun but i still don't have a way of being there :(

i can find a way (bus, dropped off) to anywhere in the downtown/crenshaw/koreatown/hollywood/east l.a./west l.a. (i'm sure somebody gets the point already) area.
is there anyone i can catch a ride with?
i can pitch in for gas money ;)

i'm a nice kid, lol.

anybody?

I may be working that day but I believe you can take a bus from downtown to Pasadena and then connect with one that goes to farnsworth.

Check out the MTA site or whatever the buses are called now. If I wind up not working, which I probably won't know for another week, I'll be glad to give you a ride.

Ok Im making some Cowboy Slop

yea, i saw the map since i'm pretty familiar with the bus and rail network.
with a day pass (just $5) i can take like...3 or 4 buses. the thing is it'll take me about 2-3 hours at best.

thank you though :)
