This is just my thought. I like the garage, because of the view. That being said, safety is always first in my book. I'm not willing to stake my life or those of my family and friends om something that may or may not support all the weight from the cars and the 150lbs people.
So that being said, close to where I live is a brand new church with a huge parking lot. Plus the parking lot has lots of trees for shade. It is only about 6 miles from the Origin Parking garage right on 620. A great place to start a cruise.
Its about the same distance from the hotel and it gets the cobras warmed up before the cruise. Numerious gas stations on the way for a quick top off. I doubt that the parking lot would be used that early on Saturday morning. We might have to make a small donations to the church. The lot will hold a bunch of cars and trailers.
I agree about having a better parking plan at the hotel. Will need to know who is bring trailers, tour buses and all the other goodies. We can draw a layout and post for people coming up so they know where to park. Also if anybody has a easy up tent, we can put a few in the middle for socializing.
Just my thoughts.
