Attention NJ, NY, and PA opponauts! Im gonna roll on with November 17th being the day. We just need a time. The closest park is " Elks Brox Memorial Park ", Port Jervis NY. Im going to look into this further to see if parking, bathrooms, grill, etc, are available. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Ill also need to find out if there would be anything happening up at that park that day which might preclude us from meeting there.

But what does everyone else think of this?

Also, give me some times that would work for everyone.

12pm/1pm/2pm/3pm ???

This time would be the Meetup time. If everyone wants to meet directly at the park, thats fine. However, Im open to meeting outside this area, and then cruise in from there (like a major exit, or mall, or something)

Keep in mind, we want to leave enough day light to cook.

The list so far, to give everyone an idea. We need more of the 'maybes' to make the crossover!

Yes (interested)

the list does not include extra people anyone may bring along. Since a few of you said you might bring a few other people. Please do! More is good.

Also, nothing is permanently set in stone yet, but i got enough interest to warrant actually progressing with the next steps. So the more people who chime in to let me know they are coming, the guarantee of this meet happening will get much more certain.

I'll be returning from out of town but depending on the time (Later is better, like 2-3) I'd love to try to make it.

Feel free to stop by whenever, dont feel rushed. Im personally thinking a 130-2 initial meetup time. Since it will be dark by 6ish. I wanna leave enought time for bs, food, driving etc... i added you to the maybes pile.

Thanks man. I'm coming up from Belmar so I'm hoping to be there by 2:30-3. People should still be around, right?

Throw me in the maybe... it's a bit of a drive for me (2 hours) but I'll try.

If I may make a suggestion, as an alternative. High point state park is also a great place, there should be picnic tables and bathrooms, with ample parking,..

Oh nifty! Yeah I'm in provided the Viggen stays running. Let me know about the BBQ part. I have some charcoal that I'd like to use up before winter.

MountainCommand > LimitedSlipDiff 11/01/2013 at 22:21

hahah, i was gonna bring my unused charcoal as well. If you have the matchlight stuff, then please do bring it! Ill add you to the yes pile then!

We could do HP state park. Thats like my backyard..... not really, but im two towns over.

If everyone would be okay with cruising over there, we could do that. In all my years of living here, ive never been to the park part.

So how do you think is the best way to organize the day. 1-meetup spot. 2-drive to hawks nest for cruise. 3-then go bbq at hp state park?

Or would you put the cruise part last?

i went to your part of town for a prelude meet (eisenhower park) and the drive was not bad at all. Cross bronx was the worst (most bumpy) part of that drive.

Im hoping they all dont leave within the first hour! Id hope we hang out for a few hours to make it worth the trip for everyone.

You may or may not miss the cruise part to hawks nest, but youd be there for the bbq. food is all that matters anyways haha.

Ill keep you updated where the final location might be. Ive been recommended that High Point state park might be a better location.

Cross Bronx is ALWAYS terribad. There's about 4784 ways to go there from LI anyways :P

Eisenhower Park is still a good 25-30 minutes away from me but if there's no traffic, driving to Port Jervis is fine.

hahaha, it was right after i put my new wheels and tires on my car. Soooo worried i was gonna blow a tire or bend a rim.

And i did that trip on fathers day, and surprisingly little traffic. My dad was using his ipad to see traffic so we switched between expressways and whatnot to bypass some stuff, but it was smooth sailing overall.

ill keep updating with info, but would you be cool with changing the park location to high point state park?

Those look like some nice roads leading into that park.

Ilike_cougars > Agrajag 11/01/2013 at 23:27

Yeah, I love the roads around the area, my car club usually cruises around there, I am thinking about setting up a cruise for my guys, and ending up at what ever place we are decide to meet up.. anyone is welcome to join of course..

No that actually sounds good, finish the cruise then go up to the bbq spot. Getting people organized for a cruise after the bbq is going to be hard I'm thinking. Thats why when we do it we usually meet around 10-10:30 cruise for about 2 hours, and that takes us up till lunch time, but in our case it should be ok if we start a little later. We need to check with both the parks for closing time and permission to bbq. Not too sure about them. So is 17th definitely it? I can confirm with my club, and see how many can make it..

Probably no chance but If the meet ends up south of new brunswick I'll bring the Viggen.

I don't mind where it is but my issue primarily is persuading my parents to let me go :P

just tell em your going to a car meet and bbq. Its not a lie, and its pretty much just that. Its an oppo 'sanctioned' event haha. Plus iirc, youre in college, or just graduated right? Im sure they'd let you go so long as you havent pissed them off beyond the point of no return.

MountainCommand > Your boy, BJR 11/02/2013 at 19:28

you can come in whatever car you want! Its more about having a nice day to just hang out and eat and bs around.

Well, im thinking maybe it shouldnt be a 2 hour cruise. Maybe 30 mins up north on hawks nest, then turn around, come back down and head to HP. And whoever didnt show up for the cruise part will meet us at HP park.

10 1030 is a bit early for the guys comming from 2+ hours away. So im trying to accommodate them as well.

November 17th is what im rolling with, pending another hurricane....

Ill check the parks after my next update, just to run HP state park by everyone to make sure its okay with them. Its only like 20 mins from hawks nest anyways so not a big deal i think. I think parks usually close around dusk, so we should be okay.

confirm away, i want to make it worth while for everyone.

and btw, ill go on FB later and send you a friend request, and for the north jersey cruisers. Im looking forward to trying to go to a cruise. Im getting my buddy into this stuff too and he will have a 240sx soon enough.

I've been a good boy for the past 22 years generally and I've earned their trust but they're still strict when it comes to who you're hanging out with, where you're going, etc. I'll try!

MountainCommand > Nibby 11/02/2013 at 21:12

well there wont be any alcohol, so add that to the plus side. I guess be straight up with them, and i wouldnt see any reason why they wouldnt let you hang out for half a day.

godspeed!

I'm in NYC and I'd love to, but I haven't got any means of transport there. If any opponauts are willing to carpool though, I'd pay for gas.
