If anyone wants to caravan to the camp ground like we did last year. I believe we would caravan up Wednesday July 18th. 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:

Quote:
Google Maps Meeting Locations:
GOOGLE MAPS


1st meeting spot (Google Maps point A):
Meeting Time: 7:45am
Location: Park and ride adjacent to Chilies off Exit 21 on Rt 91.
Depart: 8:00AM sharp.


2nd meeting spot (Google Maps point B):
Meeting Time: 8:30 am.
Location: Milford Service Station 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. This leg has and estimated travel time of 2:30 hours.

3rd meeting spot (Google Maps point C):
Meeting time: 1:00pm (roughly)
Location: Porter's Pub 700 Northampton Street, Easton, PA
Notes: This will be the final pit stop until we get to the campground. We will have lunch and a drink or two for the final leg of the trip. We will also find a gas station around this area to fill up.
Departing time: After lunch

http://www.porterspubeaston.com/index.html

From there we will continue on our last leg of our journey. And from this meeting spot should take us roughly 1:30 hours travel time. with and estimated arrival time at the campground being roughly around 3 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 send me a PM

Also if you don't have my cell # then please feel free to send me a PM 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...

Already started packing.
Tomorrow, I put the battery charger on the X and get ready for the clean out and oil change that it needs.

Friday, I get the trailer out and give it a once-over so that, next week, all I need to do is load everything up.

Hey Mike, did you have a problem with the weight of your rig going over a bridge in Easton last year?

I shouldn't have gone over that bridge, if that's what you're asking.

I was lucky that there were no troopers in the area when I went over.. this year, I'll need to find another way to the restaurant so that I can avoid that one section.

I think the regular way that Google takes you, over the "toll" bridge is good.

Everyone else can take the back road and I can meet up there since I need to deal with parking on top of everything else

Dudes... come on... this is a great chance to head down as a group and hang out for a bit at the same time.

Would have loved to join the convoy, but can't get off work on Wed. Expecting to make the campground 10-11ish on Wed night.
