MOVED TO SUNDAY 9/13 DUE TO RAIN ON SATURDAY!


I would like to end the summer of 2009 with a nice cruise with amazing roads and scenery. Some of you know what this cruise is all about and the others know what they missed out on last time I did this cruise.

This time around, I will have a full cruise planned out including the route and places to eat (thanks to my buddy over at ls2gto.com that planned this back in '07).

Here we go:

Date: SUNDAY September 13th. (edited)
Time: 11AM (read below for location)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Route_97

Tentative route for our cruise:

Ok first up is the meeting spot!

Once you get off of I-80 for the exit toward Bushkill take that to Route 209 North.

Meeting spot will be at the PocMont Resort on Bushkill Falls Road
( http://www.pocmont.com/ ) this is right off of Rt. 209 N. We will be meeting here at 11am. Try to get here on time because we'll talk some stuff over about the cruise, give out directions and set up our radios.

From there we are on our way! (Make sure everyone has a full tank of gas. There will be no opportunities to gas up along the cruise and this is about a 90 mile run. When you first get off I-80 there will be a few gas stations...donate )

We'll be taking Route 209 North through Bushkill, nice road here, not completely desolate but no commercial traffic, nice scenery (mountains on the left, farmland on the right), and some good opportunities for some high speed blasts with a few nice little curves.

Next we will make the right toward Dingman's Ferry and pay the 75 cent toll to go over the bridge onto Old Mine Road. We will follow Old Mine Road toward Port Jervis. This area is full of lots of nice sweeping turns and rolling hills.

Getting through Port Jervis is going to be a bit of a pain in the ass since we will get separated through the lights. Before heading to Hawks Nest though we will all be able to regroup along the side of the road then make a fast as you can run up the Nest

After that (wipe the crap out of your pants) and continue up Rt-97N toward Barryville. Rt-97 is very nice, lots of good scenery around here.

Once we get to Barryville we will be turning onto SR-55 East. This is a niiiiiice long, desolate road. Lots of chances for high speeds, no cops in sight, almost no one on the road, should be a great time. We'll be taking this all the way up to 17B West. 17B has some nice photo ops but for the most part is a mundane road (that stinks like cow shit). Gets pretty fun toward the last 5 miles in the twisties and then we'll get to Callicoon.

Entering Callicoon is a bit spooky. The town was opened as a railroad town basically and once the trains stopped coming through there the place feels like a ghost town. On top of that the last 3 years the town has been flooded (we're talking like 20 feet of water) and they have repeatedly lost everything. There's 2 main restaurants in town and a very big parking lot where we can stay.



FOOD:

The 2 restaurants are Matthew's on Main and Coyote Jacks (it's renamed now but the name is escaping me)...both look like GREAT places, lots of good food and great beer selection with more than fair prices for what you are getting. It really wouldn't be fair to choose one place to eat (such a small town, 50+ people eating at either of these places would be huge for their business) so the plan is that once we get into town and park....half of the group go to Matthews and the other half Coyote Jacks. Both places have great food and were very, very excited to hear we are coming so I hope that we can get a big turnout for them.

Once we get to that area we will be getting lunch somewhere nice in the area, chilling out for a bit, sharing stories of the cruise, hanging out and probably getting money together to bail certain members out of the local jail.

After a little bit we will head back down Hawks Nest, stop in Port Jervis and split up on our way home. The whole cruise from start to lunch to finish should be about 150 miles.

May seem like a bit long but lets hope we get lucky with a beautiful summer day, have a good group and test our limits just a bit.

MOVED TO SUNDAY 9/13 DUE TO RAIN ON SATURDAY!

QUEENS/LI CARAVAN:

Time: 7AM SHARP
Location: 160th avenue and 82nd street in Howard Beach, NY 11414 (exit 17s on the belt pkwy)

NJ CARAVAN:

Last time we met at the Flat Rock Nature Center. (Navi address: 292 Jones Rd Englewood NJ)
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&so...80.68,,0,16.94

I chose this location because its right off i95.
You take exit 72A to Route 4 and stay on route 4 for 10 seconds.
Then you get off the Irving Avenue exit and make a right as soon as you get off the exit to Jones Rd and you're there.
From here, Delaware Water Gap was about 1.5hrs away.

TIME: 9:00AM SHARP.



Here is the whole route from NJ to Pocono Resort(Delaware Water Gap).

My lady likes speed and twisties.

[Gtrain]

Mine enjoyed it as well but I remember there were other ladies that were not too thrilled.
We dropped them off at the bottom of the road before we went back up for the photos

LOL.


Yea that was just a friend that I dropped off, not my gf.

My gf tells me to "get the left lane...punch it! punch it!"


We won't be speeding much though bc I don't want to risk any tickets on the way up there.
Through the twisties is a different story.

I was the last one so I didn't really pay attention who was dropped off but that's cool.

Twisties and 25MPH Speed Limit = FAIL FAIL FAIL

Those were fun and the drive was great since we had great weather last time.

[Crisp]

Yea I hope the weather holds up this weekend too.

You can't count on the weather guys much so we'll see on Saturday.


This cruise is going to be huge though.
Last one was only through hawks nest.
This one will go through the whole area with some insane scenic routes.

We just need everyone to cooperate with the time (i know its early in the morning) so we can get everything done.


I'm going to set up some places to meet for the Long Island/Queens crew, and another for the NJ crew.

[JBiddy]

bro make it next weekend lol

How do you guys feel about a September 12th (Saturday) RAIN DATE?

This is just in case it rains this weekend, then it would be moved to Sep 12th.

[legun01]

for anyone even remotely considering it... I was in the same situation like 4 months ago. Crisp dragged me out and believe me, boggles your mind... definitely worth while...
