Late July/August meet?

Anyone interested in having a meet in scenic Northwest New Jersey? Thinking around the end of July or early August perhaps. Just a thought really.

Perhaps on the day of the national meet....for those on the east coast that can't make it to St. Louis....

And maybe the west coasters can do the same....three meets on the same day.....50-60 ridgelines meeting at the same time....

Oh, and lets not forget the guys up north.....maybe there's enough Canadian owners that live close enough to do it...which leads me to wonder...is the national meet 'national' or 'international'? I guess they need an out of country ROChead to attend to make it international! :D

Pick a location and suggest a local activity and let's see what happens. I'd certainly be interested. It's just a day trip for me.

ditto! :cool:

You guys should make the journey to STL

1800 miles round trip is too far for me. :( I'm the only driver, that would make it a 4 driving day trip. I'm too old for that kind of driving.

You guys should make the journey to STL
I'm still considering it, but it would have to be a solo trip :( as the missus can't get off work then.

I'm with you Stugots, I'd have to let my wife drive my RL. NOT !!

My wife absolutely refuses to drive the RL.

I'm supposing it has something to do with what she thinks the consequences would be if she dings it. :eek: :D

This Spartan Meet would definitely be doable for me. Lets hope he gets it put together. I see you are from nearby as well.

A Journey to St. Louis is out of the question... ridiculous drive for the Ridge.
Anyways, the area I live in is fairly rural, the Delaware river is a half hour away, theres a nice bbq area thing in town. Alot of good eateries and what not in the area. Some gorgeous camping grounds less then a half hour away, alot of things to be done as far as good ol' fashion recreation goes! Any thoughts on that?

And at 3 or even 4 dollars a gallon, Jersey makes even more sense.:D

Mike, how dare you organize an NJ event w/o inviting your one and only Canadian friend...me!:p :D

Of course you can come! Everyone is invited... we just need to plan it... theres alot of excellent camping not too far from me.

Spartan, I see you're talking about camping, but I'll be day tripping. So where are you suggesting for the Meet location? Something at the Delaware Water Gap, perhaps? Jersey side, of course.

SpartanML, How about doing something like meeting up at Waterloo Village and than Cruising on up to Swartswood State Park or one of the other parks in the area. High Point would be another place, but it's a little more of a trip. Or maybe meet over in Jockey Hollow, Lewis Morris. That's right off of Route 287. Would be easy for everyone to get to. Could just do a picnic lunch and a casual walk around the old Washington encampment. Just some ideas. Open to comments and suggestions.

Indeed I have been considering everything like that, didn't think to do Jockey Hollow but it is a thought! I was actually thinking Swartswood myself.

Swartswood Lake, would be nice. I think they charge a couple bucks to get in, but no big deal. We may be able to reserve an area with some tables and grills. We could also have people meet up on Rotue 15 or 94 and caravan up to the lake so no one gets lost. It's a great road heading up there and a line of Ridge's would be fun. I just don't know if that's to much distance for people from southern NJ and the Philly area.

SpartanML, you may want to consider doing a poll for both dates and locations and see what people respond to and then take it from there. I'm willing to help out wherever I can. Let me know.

Swartswood Lake is only 85 miles for me, about 2 hours driving time. I'm about 15 miles north of Center City Philly on I95.

Stugots, Thats not as far as I though it would be for you. Do you think we can get the rest of the crew to come along :confused:

Ondlinks, Mdwalls, Mugen, etc.???????

I'll make sure they're all notified.

I might be in for a late summer meet, NJ is not that bad, about 4 hours so it is reasonable.

Come to the Long Island, N.Y Winery meet in Oct on the 13 and 14. That a sure thing.
All is welcome.

So, What do you say Northeaster, :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Are we up for a mini-meet, day at the park type of thinging, burger and dogs on the grill by the lake, or are we burned out before the summer begins. Keep in mind that Al is planning a great weekend in Long Island for Oct 13,14.


Let's get some talk about dates going and see if we're up for this.

I'm up for a mini meet. Any day but July 28th works for me. Bud

And I plan on L.I. in October too !

Good news, MD.

Is there any more info on this NJ Meet?

We were talking Aug. 3-5 the same time as St Louis for those who don't want to drive that far at 4 dollars a gallon. A nice day trip to warm up for Long Island in October.

Guess I'll have to miss both of these as I'm going to the St. Louis meet and have to be in San Diego when the LI event is scheduled. :(

Very sorry to hear that, MoosePond. There will be other Meets, I'm sure.

If I couldn't be in L.I., in October, San Diego wouldn't be bad. Maybe you can time a southern California meet with or without your RL. Bud

Unfortunately :rolleyes: , I'm going to San Diego on business for a 4-day conference on Coronado Island at the famous Del Coronado hotel. Not such a bad deal all things considered, but it's a very intensive event and doesn't leave any personal time.

Still working on things here... sorry for not saying something sooner... stand by for details.

Geez Spartan, I think you killed your own thread! :eek: :D

We need to get this going if we want to put something together. I think a casual friendly meet on a Saturday or Sunday for a couple of hours would work out just fine. I set-up a poll on a new thread so we can see what works for most people and then plan it out from there.

Please cast a vote for Where and When.

Some how missed the poll Tbird. I'll vote now.

I'd like to see something come about.

What about western new yorkers, if anyone is interested how about a tripto Niagara FAlls?

davedad, I be up for something in Niagara Falls. That maybe a good kick-off for next spring. What do you think Stugots, ready to take on another one.:D :D

63Tbird, Niagara Falls sounds good to me. Maybe we'll be able to attract some of our Canadian members. I'll bet Hez will come along. I'll start the research on it.

Never been to Niagara Falls, sounds like a cool trip.

The Canadien side has casinos now, but the old tourist traps are still there. The American side is a national park. I believe you need a passport to cross
over now. Bud

I just read due to a huge backlog in obtaining Passports travel requirements to Canada have been eased. Of course, by the time Spring rolls around the passports will be required again. :rolleyes:

MOOSEPOND, WE WILL STILL HAVE FUN IN ST. LOUIS. REGIONAL AND STATE MEETS ARE GREAT, BUT I MISSED THE NATIONAL LAST YEAR AND I WILL DRIVE TO ST. LOUIS AND THEN ON TO NO. IL.

SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THEY WERE TOO OLD TO DRIVE THE 1800 MILES. MY WIFE LOVES TO DRIVE THE RIDGE, BUT WHEN WE GO ON TRIPS, I DO ALL THE DRIVING. FOR 40 YEARS I DROVE AN AVERAGE OF 1500-2000 MILES PER MONTH WITH MY JOB. BEING RETIRED NOW, I DO HAVE MORE FREE TIME, BUT I AM 67 NOW AND STILL LOVE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY THE RIDGE.

SEE YOU IN ST. LOUIS!:) :)

Passports are not required as of yet unless you fly into the country, however after January 1st, they are supposed to be required for all border crossings. Yes the Canadian side of the falls is alot nicer but there is also a casino on the American side. American side is more park like, the Canadian side has alot more to do. There are some things that can be accessed from both sides like, the MAid of the Mist,. American Side has the CAve of the Winds and a Jet boat ride in the lower rapids. CAnadian side has an arial car over the rapids. There is a nice town on the Canadian side also call Niagara on the lake.

Swartswood Lake is only 85 miles for me, about 2 hours driving time. I'm about 15 miles north of Center City Philly on I95.

I'm 20 miles southwest of Philly in South Jersey. I come up with about 160 miles each way to the Water Gap. Probably about 2.5 hours depending on traffic.

If your southwest of Philly in New Jersey, I'm not following you. Just kidding:D

If your southwest of Philly in New Jersey, I'm not following you. Just kidding:D
I was thinking the same thing, Bud. :D No offense, Jersey Jim, just having a little fun with ya!

From the poll thread, I agree with 63Tbird. It's time to set the date and location. Some of us work weekends and need to schedule the time off.

Jim,

You should meet up with Stugots,Ondlinks and mdwalls and all caravan up together. Spartan should let us know the details soon.

Super idea, everyone can meet at my place, go for breakfast and head out to wherever and whenever we're going. I'm only a few blocks from the Burlington-Bristol Bridge.

Joe,

I always miss all the fun stuff. :(
You make me wish I lived down there by you.

Joe,

I always miss all the fun stuff.
You make me wish I lived down there by you.
Yes Tbird, that would be nice. But remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. :D :o

Boy, that sounds so gay! :eek: :D

If your southwest of Philly in New Jersey, I'm not following you. Just kidding:D

Ha! Since I do not know east from west, I am already planning on getting lost. Better get one of those GPS gadgets. I meant to say southeast.

I am officially calling Saturday, August 4th as the day I would like to do it. The location has yet to be decided. Like I said, July 28th is impossible for me as I will be in Baltimore for the Firehouse Expo.

August 4th works for me Spartan. Bud

Aug. 4th will be here before you know it! For those in the area, why not come on out for the day. I've never been to the lake but it sounds like a great place to meet up and enjoy a summer day! :)

Agreed, ONDLINKS.

My long-range forecast is calling for a sunny day with low humidity and mild temperatures. There will also be a chance of scattered friends and localized Ridgelines appearing throughout the day.

I have to check with my wife about the 4th of Aug., But if I free, I'll will be there.:D

Hey guys, I'm gonna be away until the 7th or so... I will be getting my ass kicked down in Atlanta so that should be fun... :rolleyes: Anyways I will fill you all in with what's goin' on when I get back... so sit tight everybody!

-Mike

We'll be waiting with baited breath, Mike! :eek: :D

Allan, I hope you can make it. We can talk about Long Island.

My wife says, We are free that weekend. What are will doing there? Lunch, Swimming, Sex or etc.

Allan, I can't speak as to what Spartan has in mind and we won't know until he returns on the 7th.

What I'm expecting is about 5-7 Ridgelines, a bunch of guys spending a few hours together talking guy stuff, either bringing packed lunches or driving to an eatery for a late lunch, then shaking hands and going home.

A very casual get-together.

I think we went down this road before. Bud ;)

:confused: :D :D ;)

And here it is... draft 1 of the NW Jersey mini meet.

It would be great if you could be there Joe. I don't know the exact count but Pizza Man, mdwalls, 63Tbird, myself along with Spartan makes 5.

Alsridge has said he may make it. There may be more that I don't know about, so please chime in.

No matter the number, it should be a nice relaxing day. :)

Alsridge, told me he can't make it.

That's cool! For those in the area, come on out and meet some fellow owners!

With 2 1/2 weeks to go, we may hit 10 trucks, way to go Spartan!

Hot damn! That's what I'm talkin about! :D

You know I was thinking, I don't think Applebees is the best idea for dinner... they're poor with reservations and stuff of that nature... I know of a great place about 10 miles away (mainly do to curvy roads) that has excellent food, and probably the best carvery in the state... they have a nice front room over looking a scenic farm and fields... and is pleasant to say the least. The place is called Co.ckadoodle Doo! Its in Hardwick and I think we should go there instead... it isn't as cheap as a place like Applebees but it is definatly worth it... The other thing I was thinking was maybe a cook out or a catering service... I know one that makes the best ribs in the area! So what do you guys think?

It's your call as far as I'm concerned Mike. Bud

I won't be staying more than a few hours, Mike. So lunch/dinner is not a concern for me. Call it as you see it.

Well none the less, I require an answer from everyone who plans to attend so I can call ahead and get things set up.

I'm not exactly sure what your asking, Mike. If your looking to start a roster post with dinner preferences then count me as "coming to the meet, leaving before dinner".

I will be leaving late afternoon due to a commitment on Sat. evening. Dinner sounds great but looks like I won't have the time.

Perhaps then a cookout? The other option to be brought out... would probably be easier since people are leaving early on.

Hey Guys, I'm making plans to join the group...... as of right now,it looks like a go !!! I will not likely be a late stay,however cook out sounds interesting !!!

It will be good to see you Mike. A warmup for the Long Island meet. I don't know what way your heading up, but if from South Jersey and taking the Northeast extention, Pizza Man, mdwalls and myself are meeting at the Quakertown exit for breakfast on the way up and your more than welcome to join us.

Let us know!

A cookout looks good to me too!

Hey Guys, I'm making plans to join the group...... as of right now,it looks like a go !!! I will not likely be a late stay,however cook out sounds interesting !!!

Almost forgot, are you bringing your new lady friends along? :p

Mmm, Meetball sandwiches!. :D

Maybe this will flush him out! :)

I PM'd him Friday, no response, yet.

Almost forgot, are you bringing your new lady friends along? :p

Oh Man....you guys are so BAD !!! :eek: :cool:
I am on the further side of Jersey,so I don't think we will have the opportunity for the breakfast meet..... but looking for ways to connect with anyone else out there who is going. Look forward to seeing you guys soon. AND SOUTHERN JERSEY ......WHITE & BLUE IF YOUR OUT THERE..... see what kind of fun you could be in for !!! ;)

Almost forgot, are you bringing your new lady friends along? :p

Pizza Man made me say that! :eek: ^

Glad you can make it Mike.

Pizza Man made me say that! :eek: ^
Excuse me!! I think you have me confused with Stugots! :eek: :D

Yeah, the rat ba$tard! :eek: :D

Looks like I may be able to make it to the Swartswook Lake meet. Not sure about dinner yet, though. Do I need to let anyone in particular know. Feel free to PM me.

Also, may bring kayak to do some paddling around the lake. Any other takers?

Roni, I know 63Tbird has kayaks. He mentioned bringing them.

Let SpartanML know when you have definite plans.

Could grab one from my parents place, did not know we were in that type of area.

jforget, roni, If you have kayaks I would bring them along. Swartswood Lake is great for that sort of thing. I have two I will bring along if it's a nice day.

I believe the wife may have made plans for dinner already. I'm thinking Joe's World Famous Meatball Subs for lunch sounds GREAT!!!!. :D . No pressure JOE!

Hey, Mike, If your traveling out 80 West you go right past me. We can meet up of your interested. Anyone else coming in that way let me know.

Good to see you around Andrew, was wondering where you guy's got to. :)

Dan, Just got a little crazy here at the shop. Rush job for two clients, one here in Jersey and the other in Alaska. Who would figure, Alaska, "Rush Job" of all things, but when they need their CO to get in the building and they forgot their Fire Evacuation Maps some one is in big trouble, So, we bail them out and get to charge them through the 'you know what'. Good for me, tough luck for them.

Yes, I'm familiar with Swartswood Lk., I've been there before. So I guess I'm in for some paddling as long as the weather is nice.

Traveling with me, myself & I, so planning on keeping it simple...kayak & bagged lunch! Not familiar with Joe's! I'm from just over the NY border...you'll have to enlighten me!

be sure to post and vote in the new thread "August 4th NW Jersey Meet" and tell me you are coming and what you would like to do for eats.

Thanks.

If you could, it would be nice if a roster of the folks who have commited is posted. It's nice to know who may be there. :)

That's what the new thread is for... I will use that and whatever is here to create a roster.

Thanks, I see MikeT has voted, will he be there? If so, it would be great to meet him. :)

No he will not be with us... he just voted for the sake of voting as he revealed to me.

Just under 2 weeks to go. I hope everyone is still in.

I'm in, you're in, mdwalls and 63Tbird are in. That makes four. I must assume Spartan is still in. That's five.

Spartan, it's time to show the roster and firm up the rest of the details. If you'd like I can keep the roster updated for you. Let me know.

Just under 2 weeks to go. I hope everyone is still in.

I'm still in! :)

OK Roni, that's great. I forgot JerseyRidge is coming so that brings the truck count up to 7. Schizoid2k and jforget1 will bring us up to 9.

I'll be bringing a batch of boardwalk style sausage, pepper and onion sandwiches to share, ONDLINKS is bringing some really good Potato Salad and I know 63Tbird is also packing stuff. Anyone else want to join in?

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

I can bring another type of side salad (haven't decided which favorite yet) and probably something for dessert.

Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be great. We're all looking forward to meeting you, too. :)

The food seems to be covered. I can bring the plates and plasticware.

Super Bud, I think this is starting to come together nicely.

Everyone who is interested in attending please head on over to the other thread and let us know!

Thanks

Looks like we got it all covered. Hey, Spartan are you going up earlier in the morning to try and hold an area, tables, grill etc. or we just going to hope for the best when we get there. I know if it's a nice day the park can fill up and availability of some place to put our stuff can get limited. I don't think we want to be stuck sitting on the beach. Some input on further plans would be great at this point.

Basically yes I am going to go and claim the spot... if not it really isn't a problem since the park is massive and we can easily be accommodated by the numerous benches and grills throughout the park. Most of the day will consist of hanging out... some will go boating while others will relax... we will then meet up for food and a good time later in the evening... that's about it.

Am I the only one confused here ? :o

No more than I am :p

Hey Mike in order to simplify things, why not shut down (or if you prefer, kill)this thread? Might make the final arrangements easier for you if everything was on one thread.

I think it would be best to keep this open for general discussion.

I think it would be best to keep this open for general discussion.

8 days to go! Pizza Man, mdwalls and myself are convoying up and should be in the area around 10:30-11:00. We hope to hook up with 63Tbird on the way in.

We'll be bringing enough food and stuff, sausage sandwiches, potato salad, chips and plasticware, etc.

All we need is a nice day. How's things looking on your end Mike? :)

Amazon tells me my Garmin Nuvi 350 will be delivered today. I excited. I can't wait to use it for the Meet.

Has Spartan mentioned a meeting point yet?

I'm beginning to think this is no longer a viable Meet.

We don't know where the rally point is, what time to begin the Meet, who's coming, who's bringing what. Spartan hasn't posted here in 4 days. I'm worried about those who are coming and traveling far distances. Is there going to be a Meet for them when they get to Swartswood or what?

Am I the only one starting to worry?

Come on Mike, we need a little direction. Are you OK? Do you need some help? Are there work or family issues interfering with the planning? We can help if needed, just say so. Say something!

My sincerest apologies for not posting sooner a situation of utmost importance has arisen and with that being said I had to reshift all my attention to this new priority... I assure you all will be ready as I have already arranged a location in Swartswood... Pizza Man I am sorry for not replying to your messages and please don't take such a negative approach to things.

Thank you Mike, I appreciate your attention in this matter. I didn't mean to sound negative. I very concerned about the many who are traveling distances much further than I. It's also good to know how much stuff to bring.

I wonder if I can talk Jeanette into making some of her delicious brownies. Mmmm, chocolate!

All these meets going on and I'm too far away!! :mad: NJ, St. Louis, Anaheim....wish someone (else) in AZ would get a meet going! ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing tons of pics from you guys on the east coast!

Agreed, ONDLINKS.

My long-range forecast is calling for a sunny day with low humidity and mild temperatures. There will also be a chance of scattered friends and localized Ridgelines appearing throughout the day.

I'll bring the butter, looks like someone's bringing plenty of corn. :p

I dont want to arrive empty handed... :D

Unless someone mentions something for me to bring that is needed, I will bring something in the line of dessert.

Schizoid, check out the other thread. I put a Menu sign on Roster there.

Wow...only six days away !!!! Please lets get everyones input on what will be needed and who can bring what ? Pizza Man has simplified this a bit on the other thread. Looking forward to a Great Day,Ridgelines, and New Friends !!!
