Caravan

So it is getting down to the wire and I was wondering if anyone wants to caravan to the camp ground like we did last year. I believe we would caravan up Wednesday July 15th. Please let me know who is interested and then we will decide rest stop meeting places as we did on the previous year.

This is the post from last year and I think it can still work:

OK gang here's the route I looked for heading down to ECXC.

Meeting time: 8:30 a.m.

1st meeting spot: Milford Service Station
http://www.ctrestareas.org/flash_image_ ... I95SB.html
Location: 95 Southbound just past exit 41
Notes: This is one of those service stations off the side of the road. It's also right after exit 41 as stated above and right after where I91 runs into 95S for all that are coming from points North.
Departing time: 9:15 a.m. Sharp!

From there we will be going down to 287 and over the Tappan Zee bridge towards the town of Suffern,NY (which is what I'm putting on to my GPS as a point) arriving at our 2nd meeting spot which will be listed below. And that's where we'll be meeting up with Donald (Dmpmfd). This leg has and estimated travel time of 2:30 hours.

Meeting time: 12:00 noon (roughly)
2nd meeting spot: Shell Station
Location: 152 Morris St, Morristown, NJ
Notes: This will be the final pit stop until we get to the campground. Also this is where we'll be meeting up with Donald. This is a gas station so we can fill up there and head down to the campground.
Departing time: 12:30 p.m. Sharp!

From there we will continue on our last leg of our journey. And from this meeting spot should take us roughly 2:00 hours travel time. with and estimated arrival time at the campground being roughly around 2:30 pm. Giving everyone plenty of daylight to set up tents and what not.

Now remember these time frames are rough estimates and not exact. They was provided by the maps and I figure with us traveling a little faster than the suggested times, we'll make it there a little sooner (hopefully).

If anyone has any questions or comments or suggestions please feel free to ask me. You can either do it here or send me a PM or an e-mail to Svendog@nexterra.org

Also if you don't have my cell # then please feel free to send me a PM or e-mail and I will give it to ya. If there's any problems you can contact me or if your just running late.

Also if anyone has a time suggestion please say it. We could always move the time up or down and hour. The choice is yours..

Romeo you put thursday the 16th. Everyone usually goes up on Wed. the 15th.

Did you get dates messed up or are you going on thursday?

I'm good with the caravan route, but as I'm towing the X this year, I could end up slowing the group down. So, let's at least plan on meeting at the camp site on Wednesday so that we can get the better location and set up shop

Thankfully this was posted up, as I had originally only asked for Thurs to Mon as vacation days. Spoke with the boss and got the Wed also. I feel like a kid waiting for XMAS to come.

it seems that not many people are heading up on Wednesday... if we dont get a number heading up i might just go on my own wednesday afternoon and only take a half day. I guess ill wait to see what everyone else is thinking.

Svendog · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:54 am

I'll be going down Wednesday morning since I'll want to take extra time given that I'm trailering the X this year. So, I'll stake out the general area that we were at last year.

I have the wednesday off! so i'm good for the route!

Svendog · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:31 am

Anyone opposed to going an alternative route this year, rather than start on 95? We'd get on the pike, like we were going to Scott's and head down from there.

Inurteeth2 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:35 am

We're not getting as many people this year are we?

Svendog · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:45 am

no.. it doesn't look like we're going to get as many people this year as we have..

unless we get a load of people paying up and planning out.
