Attention NJ, NY, and PA opponauts! 5 Days Away! Sunday, November 17. Time: 12:30PM First part will be a cruise at the Hawks Nest in Port Jervis, NY. From there we will take a short drive back down to High Point State Park. This park seems to be better suited for having the bbq. park link: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

im hoping the weather holds out. Suppose to warm up a bit, however an increased chance of rain is developing.... Unless its a monsoon, this meet will run.

Potential start meet-up location: Shoprite in Montague. on rt 23 .

Big parkinglot, and close to the cruise location.

Im about to give up trying to call the park, as no one is answering at all. Im not changing plans, and were going to have the bbq there. HOWEVER, they are open, and there is no fee to get in this time of year. Just be on good behaivor and dont be rev happy, thats what the cruise is for =)

Park closes at 4:30PM. So we should definitely try to keep to an afternoon start in order to maximize the day for everyone. However, we could leave the park and go back for a cruise afterwards if anyone showed up late and misses the first cruise. Keeping options open. Maybe cruise to get ice cream? haha whatever you guys want.

Also, the park doesnt allow alcohol, so leave your keggers at home. Also, it would be frowned upon as we are driving anyways.

the list so far...

Yes (interested)

BRING FOOD and drinks so we can have plenty to share.

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!

If you are bringing more people, let me know as i will need to start getting an estimate to how many burgers and hot dogs ill need to buy...

It would be awesome if everyone could bring maybe 1 item (soda, water, plates, chips, napkins, etc, anything else youd want to have). That way we will have enough food. Ill also cook whatever you bring. (but obviosly im limited to cooking on a grill.. so dont go crazy and bring live lobster)

Comment? Questions? Concerns? Input is appreciated.

DISCUSSION (21)

I can bring something. What do we need? Also, what time is the pre cruise meet up?

MountainCommand > Your boy, BJR

1230 is when we will meet at the first spot.

Wait until everyone shows up, but no later than 1, and then go cruise.

chips, paper plate, napkins or paper towels. I think someone is getting some sodas, but you could bring more of that if youd like. and anything else if feel up to it. obviously you dont have to bring all that, but its what we need at the moment.

I am going to try to make it, hopefully with something interesting (though 'interesting car' is looking less likely thanks to a short in the wiring harness we can't find to fix yet)

get that multimeter out and hop on it!

Stratos HF > MountainCommand

Working on it!!!

I even jalop-metered my two options, and the one with the short has 155 points! :( The backup isn't so bad (my brothers car) at 100. Hopefully I can get her up and running!!

I will be there too. I guess since we are meeting at a Shoprite, I will run in to get whatever is left that we need.

I'm pretty new to the Northeast and didn't realize how far Port Jervis is from the Philly area (I originally thought Port Jervis was on the coast - oops).

I'm still a maybe, but would probably be more inclined if other people were driving up from my area and wanted to cruise up there together.

Anyone?

Cool beans!

that meetup location is an hour in the wrong direction for me... Im trying to get everyone as close as possible to the cruise route at 1230 in order to maximize time.

If you want to meet up earlier with other south/central jersey pa ny guys, feel free, but im trying to keep everything close together so theres not so much wasted time.

my 2 cents.

no I don't want a meetup before our meetup, i'll just sit quietly until i see another one of these

MountainCommand > offroadkarter
11/13/2013 at 20:39

context.... im missing it...

by meetup before the meetup i mean just convoy to the meetup spot at shoprite. Ill do another repost tomorrow.

btw, have you been to hp state, park? is there a good parking lot? from satelite it looks like it does.

I honestly don't know if I've ever ventured up to this part of NJ, to my knowledge I haven't. I certainly haven't been to the hawks nest before.

lol my bad, im mixing up so many people in my head who have commented. I thought it was you who told me about hp state park to begin with. Dont worry about it.

Its nice up here, certainly doesnt feel like your stereotypical nj area.

I may not be able to come. I had some personal shit that came up that I'll try to take care of tomorrow but if I can't then I'll have to flake out for sunday. sorry.

Do what you gotta do. If you can make it, great! If not, it wont be the end of the world.
