The parking lot is EASY to find. After you get off of I-95, head south through about 3 to 4 lights within a very short distance. Then there is about a mile until the next light. You will turn left at that light and then into the parking lot. Pull to the back corner (away from the road)

Mystic Seaport is doing their Field Days that weekend.
Special activities include:
19th-century games on the Village Green for the whole family; a creative puppet-making workshop in our Inspiration Station; fabulous Planetarium programs; and rollicking songs of the sea in our "Tales and Tunes" program.

Keith's notes
It took ~4 hours to go through it all, and that is with me skipping the little movies and a couple of small buildings.

GREAT tip... whatever the temperature is, subtract off 10-15 degrees from that and that is what it feels like after an extended time outside and the wind chill. I will be bringing a winter hat and a bit heavier jacket than I think I might need. You can always cool off, but you can't warm up.

- In Historic Mystic, Santa arrives by tugboat (2pm), then at 6pm, there is a tree lighting ceremony, Christmas carols, and a lighted boat parade.

My wife and I vote for Mystic Seaport. We like the sound of the lantern night tour. Hockey sounds fun too.

Bob

I'm game for just about any place within a 1/2 day ride. Mystic Seaport sound like fun to me though. This is the hunting season for me so it depends more on when than where.:)

This would be my first ROC event... sounds interesting.

I'd be interested in Mystic or the Casino..depending on the day, weather and holiday events.

Coming down from Seacoast of NH.

Such a cool bunch of places to select from! Sadly, there is no way that I could make it to another Northeast meet.

One thing to mention: If you do New Haven, the entire Green area beside the campus is littered with open wi-fi, so there is no reason the rest of us can't see what's going on. Just bring your laptops and webcams, OK? Also: the 6 square blocks just south of the Green are full of the most diverse array of ethnic restaurants I've found outside of New York City.

That's my 2˘ for this thread ;-)
Perry

Mystic Seaport sounds good to me.:)

this is a tough season for us as we're pretty much committed for every weekend between now and the middle of January . . . but decide on something and we'll do our best to join in for a day trip . . . Mystic Seaport or the USS Nautilus sound appealing . . . according to our friends the diehard weekend gamblers (they definitely qualify as "whales"), Foxwoods is a bit rundown and they recommend Mohegan Sun as a much nicer experience

btw, let's go easy on the new kid, he's still trying to find the box with his towels and has to dry off with old t-shirts when he gets out of the shower! :D

This time of year is also tough for me. November has me at hockey rinks for 28 hours, mostly scattered over the weekends. No idea what December will bring. Mostly the same I assume. Oh the things you do for your kids...:D

I'll watch and see what get's planned. Maybe I can squeeze some time in. I just have to meet my favorite Yankees/Canadiens fan who drives one of them Red Ridgelines...;)

A holiday theme would be nice. I can tell u that the steam train is fun, but this time of year the riverboat would be too cold if they even run it this time of year.

I would try to do my best to make any of them with the wife. Hopefully the date will fit. Mystic Seaport looks like it would be fun.

I am up for the Seaport. Being from the area you could combine the Seaport and offer Foxwoods or the Sun as an after destination. Personally I like the Sun better (more personal and better payout ratios). Set it up and try a survey at this point.

BAI am thinking Mystic Seaport as a starting point, then to Mohegan Sun for dinner for those who wish to continue on.

I am also thinking that early in December (Saturday 12/1) is best as holiday parties seem to take over the month.

Does anyone know of an easy place to meet around/in the Mystic Seaport?

Right across the street from the main entrance or across the street from the Seamanne's Inne parking lot to the right, behind pond.

Would anyone prefer to do the event on 24 Nov 07? Mystic Seaport is doing their Field Days that weekend.

Special activities include:

19th-century games on the Village Green for the whole family;
a creative puppet-making workshop in our Inspiration Station;
fabulous Planetarium programs; and
rollicking songs of the sea in our "Tales and Tunes" program.

All this in addition to our regular schedule of activities, including:

demonstrations aboard our tall ships;
daily music programs;
and exciting, interactive exhibits.

I might be up for one more meet, Mystic sounds cool and is only about mins away. Might just do the Mystic part, not much of a gambler and I have to get ready to fly to Baltimore for the Pats game on Sunday.

November 24 - Sounds great to me. If my wife can't, I can bring my two girls (3 and 1). I also have an interview on Thursday the 15th so hopefully I can have a celebration by then.

24th would work better for me as well.

My wife and I sould be able to make the 24th., let me know.

Meet is set!

See first post on meet info

(renaming thread to display meet info)

I have a friend who is the manager of the Microtel Inn, which is 5 minute from Mohgen Sun. If I can get a count, who would like to stay over night, I will make a call and book some room, suites. It going to be cheap. I have to check with Gina to see if we are free the 24th.:D

the seaport sounds cool. We are not likely to go to the sun. Sounds like lots of childrens events on the 24th., anyone bringing children. Might see if my grandson is interested.

As it turns out, I will be passing right by the Mystic Seaport on Saturday, the 24th, on my way to Mohegan Sun. I'll be at my folks' place in RI and we have tickets to the Cirque show (2:30pm) at the Sun. I'll try to talk the wife into stopping at the Seaport. First, though, I'll have to talk "Grandma" into a couple extra hours of babysitting.:rolleyes:

Can't say for sure I'll be able to stop, but I WILL try...

Sorry everyone, That date won't work for me. I'll be thinking of you all though. Have a great time and don't loose to much green.:D

Oh man am I going to have to go thru my second straight meet without brich and the Oz man?

dang, can't make it . . . that's our big annual weekend with the entire family in VT and we'll have a houseful of company . . . enjoy and remember, they don't build those big casinos for your financial gain!

I'll be there. Just happen to be in CT for Thanksgiving. Look forward to meeting other ROC members.

Oh man am I going to have to go thru my second straight meet without brich and the Oz man?

Don't count me out yet bud...:D
Although it looks tough for me as well... I'll see what I can do. I too may only be able to do the morning part. :cool:

Excellent hopefully you can squeeze this one in, bring the skates we can setup an ice rink right in the parking lot.

Excellent hopefully you can squeeze this one in, bring the skates we can setup an ice rink right in the parking lot.

If that's the case, I'll have to bring all 15 of my 5, 6, 7 and 8 year old players from my team. This meet would cost me a practice but if your setting up a rink... :D

My wife and I are in. Looking forward to our first meet. What are the rates at the Microtel? We may want to stay the night rather than driving back to Boston.

Additional events at Mystic Seaport on 24 Nov include:
- Santa arrives by tugboat (2pm), then at 6pm, there is a tree lighting ceremony, Christmas carols, and a lighted boat parade.

You can put my wife and I down for this Mystic meet and Mohgen Sun. :D

Looks like we are already starting to get a decent head count, should be a pretty good size group by the meet date. Looks like we have some relatively new ROC'ers for this one. Always good to get new people into the fold.

you say that again:rolleyes:

This is shaping up to be a very nice mini-meet and wish that I could be there to represent the "whities" - however, while the family is generally okay with my RL addiction it would be unforgivable to desert them during what has become our biggest family holiday weekend of the year! Ya'll have a great time and post lots of pics.

Did run into an RL owner yesterday (Silver '06) in the OfficeMax parking lot up in Cortlandt Manor who wasn't aware of the ROC and pointed him here as he's experiencing some of the transmission shift problems other early owners have seen, so perhaps I recruited a new member.

Moose...bring the family!! :D

Moose...bring the family!! :D
Would if I could but there's too many of them (16 in all) and there are too many activities already planned and I would surely be disowned and permanently in the dog house were I to bail on them. :( However, we've got a very active and vibrant group of ROCers up here in the NE and there will be other opportunities.

Who knows? We might even get something together for the wilds of Vermont one of these days - it's less than 4 hours from anywhere in the Northeast, we've got tons of outlet shopping for the gals, decent golf courses, some great restaurants, wonderful scenery and abundant wildlife. Something for everyone.

oh yeah, almost forgot the outstanding local cheeses, beers and my favorite - Woodchuck Draft Cider!

woodchuck = "I'm there"

Moose, you should invite the club up to you.

someone said something about cheep room rates..... did we ever find out the cost?

Hello fellow ROCers my wife and I will unfortunately not be able to attend. That is one of our biggest family weekends at my parents house in the Wyoming Valley, (PA) 2hours away from me. I hope there will be another time my wife and I get a chance to come up North. I wish everbody a great time and have a safe trip. I will miss all, have a great time. Thank You,
John

I called my friend about the hotel rooms and there almost sold out and that why I ask for a head count. I need it by next week and that's, maybe to late. I going away and will be back byTuesday.

I am also fond of the woodchuck Granny Smith green apple cider, but I hate the 4 legged critters that troll my garden in the summer time. :mad:

Please Oz, tell us the story again of you standing in your second floor bathroom, in the bathtub, armed and taking aim out the window at the critters wreaking havoc. :D

Back to the meet.... Sorry y'all. I thought it was a possibility until last night when I found I have yet another hour in a cold skating rink on that day that kills my chances. Won't be able to be Jforget's wingman at this gig either. :(

:) My wife and I should be able to make it. However, we are not interested in going to the casino. See you all there. :D

Zemog

The weekend after Thanksgiving? Traffic is gonna be a bitch and a half... however things are looking good thus far... there is a very good chance you may see the Spartan... ;)

Don't know about anyone else, but I can not commit to a room without knowing prices. Money is too tight.

The weekend after Thanksgiving? Traffic is gonna be a bitch and a half... however things are looking good thus far... there is a very good chance you may see the Spartan... ;)nah... if we were going to Best Buy or the mall then I would agree with ya

I realize that there is not a lot of detail while at the Mystic Seaport, that is due to that I have never been there. So, I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Another reason is that the ladies seem to change the plans when they see shopping opportunities! :rolleyes: :D

I have no worries that there will be plenty to see and do, but what order, I don't know.

Downtown Mystic, on the other side of the drawbridge, has lots of little shops. There's a great kids toy and games store right by the bridge. There are also lots of artsy little shops that I would expect would be open for Christmas shopping. There's a nice pub around the middle of the main drag that has good food and cheap beer. If you want to do the tourista deal, go to Mystic Pizza, which was the place they created the movie about. It's past the pub on the other side of the street.

I went there today and did the tourist thing/scout trip.

The parking lot/rally point is EASY to find. After you get off of I-95, head south through about 3 to 4 lights within a very short distance. Then there is about a mile until the next light. You will turn left at that light and then into the parking lot. Pull to the back corner (away from the road)

It took ~4 hours to go through it all, and that is with me skipping the little movies and a couple of small buildings.

The boating-Santa is in the downtown Historic Mystic area, not at the Seaport. The Seaport does have a special event that day, but it is for children. Kids will be able to play old-fashioned games that kids of yesteryear played.

There is an entry fee for the Seaport, but it's worth it. Very cool stuff.

GREAT tip... whatever the temperature is, subtract off 10-15 degrees off of that and that is what it feels like after extended time outside and the wind chill. I will be bringing a winter hat and a bit heavier jacket than I think I might need. I can always cool off, but you can't warm up.

and let us not forget Mystic Pizza

Keith put me in the maybe section... just getting the plans finalized.

I updated the first post with a few bits of info

Anyone coming from the Jersey area wanna rally and convoy to the locale?

someone said something about cheep room rates..... did we ever find out the cost?

There is an outside shot that I can make it......would definately depend on getting a room for Saturday night.

I will be running down 95 from Foxboro Ma. through R.I. if anyone wants to catch up.

Did anyone do the Ridgeline, weather dance for the 24th. Every meet I was at, the weather was perfect. :D

Anyone coming from the Jersey area wanna rally and convoy to the locale?Mike, time to move you to the Attendees list?

Mike, time to move you to the Attendees list?

That's still a negative unfortunatly... I'm getting buried in red tape on this one... should still be a go but I need to get some issues corrected first.

I will be running down 95 from Foxboro Ma. through R.I. if anyone wants to catch up.

I live about 3 minutes from the big park and ride right off 95 in Warwick, could try and get some of the locals to meet there. Right back on the highway in seconds.

Anyone from Long Island going to this meet, besides me?

Just thinking that maybe we could meet at the Centre of New England complex, it has a Home Depot, Wal-Mart etc, is right off and on for the highway. It is Exit 7 coming 95 south, Mystic is about 30 minutes from here. Could meet in one of the parking lots, probably the Wal-Mart, it is huge and then caravan from there. Bsaically anyone from RI or Mass could meet here if they wanted.

What time is the rally point?

My guess would be that exit 7 would take me about 45 min. from home. Jforget said it is about 30 to mystic. That would mean 9:15, at exit 7.

What time is the rally point?

I replied to this one this morning, but apparently I missed something on the submit, I was thinking we could meet starting about 9:00, do kind of a pre-meet and hit the road about 9:30, it is abut 30 minutes to Mystic from here.

wanted to say today was a really good time. Was good to meet all the new people and to see the old-timers. Getting to see Mystic Seaport was cool, been a long time.
Thanks to keith for the Baja matchbox.

Hopefully the rest of the gang is having good luck at the Mohegan Sun.

I only have 5 photos of the event....

t to see you guys had such a great time. I wish I could have made it.

It was a great time. Thanks to the other Keith for putting the outing togather. It was fun to meet Bruce, Joe, Keith, Mike, Bob, Brook, Al, and others who's names I can not recall at this time. (It doesn't take a lot to overwelm a simple mind!)
I did not go to the sun, did we have any winners there?

I did not go to the sun, did we have any winners there?No one gambled, but we all enjoyed seeing the hugeness of the place. Plenty of opportunity for them to separate you and your money. Brook (Mrs. BobTWhite) tempted fate (security) by breaking out the camera and snapping off a few photos. :eek:

Bob cool shots thanks for posting.

It was nice to see old and new faces. I sorry I was late to the meet, but I made it. It was 31 degree and I would say, "that cold". I would have stayed a little longer at the meet, But my wife and friends was cold and hungry. So we left, got warmed up and eat. I headed to my hotel, that I booked and then went to the Sun. It was good to see Bobwhite and Jersey Ridge at the same Hotel. LOLOLO. My friend says, "thanks guys for the gifts".
Bob, I got up late 9:00 and I didn't see you truck. So I figured you lifted.
The Sun was very good to me. Up $235.00.
Hope all got home safe. Sunday was warm 51 degree and we went back to Mystic and had a good day.

It was nice to see old and new faces. I sorry I was late to the meet, but I made it. It was 31 degree and I would say, "that cold". I would have stayed a little longer at the meet, But my wife and friends was cold and hungry. So we left, got warmed up and eat. I headed to my hotel, that I booked and then went to the Sun. It was good to see Bobwhite and Jersey Ridge at the same Hotel. LOLOLO. My friend says, "thanks guys for the gifts".
Bob, I got up late 9:00 and I didn't see you truck. So I figured you lifted.

Al,

We saw the do not disturb sign on your door when we woke up and figure you all had a late night. We had a quick bite at the hotel and then took off. We enjoyed meeting new people, Mystic, the Sun, and all the cool trucks. We will be sure to make more meets in the future. The people we met were just great.

We was back to the Hotel at 1:00 AM. By the time I went to bed is was 2 AM
:D

Hello All.....Just wanted to say what a Great Time we had,and We Really Enjoyed Ourselves in Connecticut !!! Thanks Keith for putting the meet together,Bob, for the Mystic Seaport information you posted for us members,and Alan for the Hotel connection,I sincerely can't thank you enough. It's always great to come to these meets, and was really nice to see the familiar faces,and good to meet the other members for the first time. There's just never enough time in a day to get to enjoy the company of those we meet. We moved to the parking lot right across from the Seaport before we went in. I should have mentioned that to you guy's when we were in line getting our entrance tickets,but I guess Ariel and Alan(mostly Alan...lol)had my attention elsewhere.....:rolleyes::eek: :) We hung around the Seaport to catch Santa,and after leaving the Seaport we headed to Mystic Pizza to eat(Tagged a Gray Ridgeline, on our way... I think it was Bay Street).We got to the Hotel around 5:00,and headed out to Mohegan Sun around 6:30. After leaving Mohegan around 9:00,we headed up to Manchester to eat at Hops,where we met My Nephew and his Family(he is the GM there and was working last night). It was just about 1AM when we got back to the hotel. We didn't get down for breakfast till just about 10,sorry we missed you guy's there too. We headed home at 11, and made real good time(lucked out both times,2hrs 20mins there...2hrs 40mins going home). To all again it was nice seeing you's, and Alan,thank you again.and please pass on our thanks to Ty. The Boy's,Beth and myself had a WONDERFUL TIME !!! As always..... will be looking forward to the next meet !!! Glad to see all the pictures and happy to hear all had a Great Time !!! :cool: See ya next time....

It was great meeting and spending time with everyone. I really look forward to getting together again!

Very nice photos, guys. I enjoy looking at them. I'm glad you all had a good time. I wish I could have made it. :(

Wow, Looks like you all had a great time. I wished I could have made it. Looked a tad cool though. Looks like Joe’s trapeze continues to make a big impression. :cool:

Joe's "seats" were the hit of the parking lot.

They really are fun to bring out, and quite relaxing.

you know what they say about a man that travels with his own trapeze........

NO, I don't

I missed another NE meet but I did attend a 'ridgeline' meet in Klosters, Switzerland recently:

wow, this looked like fun but cold. If EOC'ers were welcome I would have shot down. It's not that far. So, if you all ever want joint meets with EOC'ers, drop a note on the EOC site and I'm sure we'd come. We had a ball at the National meet and yes, those seats are fun. I tried some at the National, (maybe the same ones, don't know).

Mystic Seaport is a great place.
Glad you all had fun.

I would also like to revive the idea of a drive in meet.......what do you think?

regards,
jurn

jurnthis occurred last year and at the time, no one thought of the EOC joining in on the fun. Things have since changed. :D
