Yes. Bought my truck at Evergreen Ford in Issaquah. I ordered 11/21 and carried over at priority 2. Got a 2,750 credit. Evergreen was a reputable dealer and it as a good transaction.
Hey, I'm in Hobart, go through Issaquah all the time. Can't miss your truck color, I'm in A51.

If my truck is finished being built and delivered (dealer said it looks like February for arrival for me) by the time this event comes up I'd love to join. Out in Longview WA but totally willing to do the drive

Where was everyone? Haha. Just kidding. Just me being a creepy creeper parking next to my Cactus Grey twin in the MLT Transit Center Garage today.

Ok folks. I made a Google Form. If you would like to join us for a Maverick Meetup sometime in February or very early March, please fill out this form.

https://forms.gle/59Xhq8DLCWZRoPAJ6

If you don't see someone below who you know is in the area, please feel free to tag them or pass this message along.
Ok folks. For those who have filled out the Google Form so far, it looks like Saturday February 18th is in the lead currently. I am trying to minimize the amount of people who said they can't show up for sure, while also keeping any eye on the "this is my top date" and the "this works, but another date is better". We won't be able to make it work for everyone, but I will do my best. I think we should lock in the date sometime early next week.

Ok everyone (those who signed up and those who did not.....yet). We will meet up on Saturday February 18th. I am going to try to get there around 11 AM/Noon.

@Micheal did some reconnaissance and says "The area you circled on the Google map (in red) is at the end with a children's playground right there. Very busy and full parking when I was there. Also, just outside the park there are apartment buildings, and it looks like tenets may be parking in that lot."

They proposed that if we show up and it seems like most of that parking circled in red is taken, we try to congregate closer to the roundabout/entrance (they circled the areas in blue and yellow in the image below).

Thank you for arranging. How long do you think it will run? I have a commitment in Olympia until approximately 11-11:30 and would then head up to Renton. It takes just a hair over an hour to get there. I may not arrive until after 12:30 PM.

Thanks for arranging. I plan on being there. The parking lot circled fills up fast. There is another lot farther up the park close to a burger place and fish and chip place that may be another option if first is filled. Just another couple hundred yards.

If bringing kids, volleyball, tennis, and fishing from piers is a good option.

Yeah, I think we are going to have to play it by ear/eye and just start parking where we either see a lot of open spaces, or where we see another Maverick already parked. Maybe we will accidentally pick up some new members who were there for a completely different reason. Wouldn't it be funny to surround an unsuspecting Maverick with other Mavericks?

Thanks Paul. I might make a sign or two to direct traffic. I live close enough that I'll be there early. I might also suggest that attendees make a sign to put in their window that has their user-name on MTC.

At the risk of getting kicked out, I might see if I can show up a bit early as well and set up a rain fly off to the side (taking up another parking spot or two). I have one I got for Christmas that I have not played around with yet to find the best way to mount it on my Maverick bed.

This style/situation, but off to the side instead of off the back. And not as large.

Cool! I've looked at the truck racks that have an awning off the side, but haven't popped for one yet. I do have a 10 x 10 pop-up that my wife uses at craft fairs that I'll throw in the back. Could even do a coffee set-up if there are AC plug-ins. Oh wait, I can plug it into the truck! o_O:)

If you get ahold of park officials and this is OK, let me know.

Don't want to derail this thread with build photos, but I went out and did a quick and dirty try with my Christmas present(s). Found out it is hard to find good attachment points that still keep it taut. At least when trying to extend it to the side instead of the back. Found on Amazon that you can get suction cup carabiner clips meant for pretty much exactly this purpose. Slap one on a window and clip your tarp to it. Or perhaps even slap one on a flat part of the roof......we will see.

For now, this is the monstrosity. Haha. It is clipped on the passenger door handle and my toneau cover rail. If the suction cups hold well, I am going to shoot for having one corner either on the roof right above the passenger door, or maybe up high on the passenger window. The other corner will be attached to my roof rack on the passenger taillight corner of the bed. Then I will be able to lower the height of the front two corners (the ones supported by poles) about a foot to a foot and a half, and also gain another foot or so of rain coverage since the tarp won't need to wrap down along the passenger side of the truck quite as far. This is a 10 by 10 tarp, but I have a 10 by 12 of the same brand. I might try the 10 by 12 next time, with the 12 being to the side. Would add another 2 feet of covered area to sit under. Fun to play with. Was fairly stable, even with only one rope helping to support each pole. If I add a second rope on each pole pulling the opposite direction, should be even more stable.

Thank you for organizing this event! I plan on attending. Also, it may be cool to do a Google form for anyone planning to attend that asks what type of maverick they have such as engine, trim, color, options so that way everyone interested who maybe doesn't have theirs yet can have an idea of all the different ones that will be attending. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I haven't driven mine too much to be honest (I think I'm at ~300 miles lol) but if you're ever in the Lynnwood/Everett areas you may see me on the road. I postponed a lot of projects to this summer. I have a few simple modifications done as well that I'd be happy to show others at the meetup.

@paneubert Is it possible to update the thread title to show the date of 2/18 at 11am for more visibility? I think that may help in case some other forum members aren't aware that the date is set. Oh just realized it's @Micheal thread.
