NJ Mini Meet: Saturday 27th @ 6pm, Lets Cruise!!! Del. Water Gap Area Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

NJ Adventure<-----Inspired by this post, Jeff and I got to talking and we want to get together a mini meet this Saturday the 27th of May in the evening/night. We're up for an all-nighter with cruising and food if you guys are....MUCH fun to be had, including plenty of cruising and good times to be had as 6gc. Lets shoot for the evening, perhaps around

The Plan:
We meet up along Route 80 near the Water Gap, where theres a 24 hour truckstop with diner and plenty of empty parking lot to meet at. From there, we have within 5 minutes drive MANY great stretches of road in the park to cruise on, a large town where we can chill out and find things to do, great nighttime photo ops and much more. I already have a good idea of where we can go that will make for a really fun trip for everybody.


Directions:
Since most of you will be comming from the East, you just want to hop onto Route 80 Westbound and keep going until you see signs for Exit 4. Take exit 4A and follow signs for TA truckstop, McDonalds, Country Pride restaurant, etc. via Route 94 south. If anybody needs more help with directions, let me know and ill send them to you or give you my phone number so that you can call me if you're confused. Its very very easy to find.

If you're comming from points Westbound, take 80E to Exit 4/Columbia and bear left to head towards MCDonalds and the truck stop on the westbound-side of the highway.



So if you live in or anywhere close to NJ and have no obligations this next Saturday, come out and I assure you all that we'll have a great time. Add your name to the list!!

Word up, Tina.

[devilsden97]

"We meet up along Route 80 near the Water Gap"

if im not mistaken, thats a good 4 hour drive for me.....thats a little crazy for one night. Ill look further into it, but if it is, im out.

When i originally jumped in, i thought it would be in Englewood, or that area, not way out in watergap or somthing.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

PM replied. Also you can ask Tina how long it took her to get there for the last meet, shes up your way.

The reason I suggested this area is because its got tons of great roads, places to go and chill any time of the night, no cops in the town after 6pm due to a recently revised budget, etc.
Any more east and there tends to be more built up areas and less ability to cruise and do whatever we want without being hassled.

Its all I-80 there, you'll make good time.

[devilsden97]

109 miles from my house, 2 hours and 13 minutes, i can probally do it in 1hour 30 minutes with my radar detector set to "guardian angel" mode....but thats just dumb lol....we'lll see how things work out. If i do go ill just hang out with Hurley97 for the morning/day, then well both make the trip.

[Defgeph]

I'm down. Miguel Its the same trip the only difference is instead of going east when you get to Jersey, you'll be going west. It might be a little bit longer. The roads are much better for cruising.

[TheStreetzKing]

im down, anyone from my area we can cruise up together, its easy

[devilsden97]

In RI Dustin was selling stuff, i guess u didnt hear him?

[Defgeph]

Right now I remember.

geez
stop moving

[TTE]

What time are you guys planning to get togather.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

6 PM, Andre. Hope you can make it out again, I had fun our last cruise with the three of us.

Really you can come by later if thats too early for you, thats just when we're meeting up. We'll most likely be in the area the whole night so you can give us a call if you're swinging by later.

[devilsden97]

need a hotel address. cuz ill need to sleep b4 i head back home.

Corey hook me up

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Miguel, PM recieved and replied.



EDIT- For anybody who is really concerned with having an exact Mapquest location, use this address although just using my directions on Page 1 will prove to be MUCH easier since Mapquest will give you about 6 steps after yoy get off the exit....really its just as simple as following a barrage of signs.
2 Simpson Road, Columbia New Jersey 07832

Alrighty I need a welder, a painter and someone to go pick up my Teins from Cali.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Haha, yeah I almost went to go look at Rick's All-Trac a few weeks ago.....The only thing that stopped me from buying it was my insurance situation, its a real nice car though for sure.

I was talking about Tinas car, she said her car might be down this weekend so I offered our help if she needed it. I'm no FedEx/UPS/DHL, Maaco, or union welder.....but I'm certainly willing to help you also Erik. lol

[ILuvMyCelica95]

lol

She might be ok. I'll know as we get closer to the weekend.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

You big silly goose. (I need that Icon from MR2OC....)



Hey, weather update-

Saturday May 27th, High 74* with a 50% chance of T-showers.
Sunday is suppposed to be gorgeous, so if we're doing this in the evening then i'm sure that we'll probably catch the tail end of whatever might roll through.

We'll see.....if its going to be really rainy then I'm available Friday evening if anyone else is. It's going to be 81 and sunny all day.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

awww i hate rain

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Things are looking up for Saturday weather-wise....40% chance of scattered T-storms and 80 degrees, and Sunday is supposed to be beautiful. So figure by the evening when we get together the conditions should be very nice for cruising.

One more day.

[devilsden97]

i cant ****INg wait!

[Defgeph]

Scatter t-storms in the early afternoon. Then clear skys from 7pm on.

I'll definalty be in attendance

[devilsden97]

32 more hours!

[ILuvMyCelica95]

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

w00t. Can't wait.


Tina, why the sad face?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

my issue: i have no prob comming down. I personally will get lost going to my mailbox. i suck at directions, therefore im not thrilled with the idea of driving home alone for a 2 hrs by myself. yes i am a big baby.

This post has been edited by ILuvMyCelica95: May 26, 2006 - 2:32 PM

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

But Tina....you've been to DWG before, its not bad. If you give me an address I'll print you out supremo-deluxe return directions on Google Earth so that you'll get home easily, and give them to you when you get to the meet. If you're not comfortable with driving though, don't let me pressure you into it.

Is Erik going with you?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

if he was it wouldnt be a problem, perhaps i can bribe him

i'll see what i can do

[hurley97]

i offered my help, you have my number

if you can get onto the parlisades parkway by yourself i can meet you right off exit 1
the entire length of the parkway usually only takes me 27-30 mins, its easy. and i can bring you back there when your going home. no problem for me...its up to you

[devilsden97]

tina dont be so "i cant do it" if i can do it, neone can

[Defgeph]

Tina all you need is to take RT 80 & RT 287 which will bring you right to the NY Thruway. It might be a little bit longer but its very easy.

[devilsden97]

oh i have some after effects from this weekend. I have a cyst in my lower back, which after riding so much that weekend (i stayed till monday morning) it started to act up and fill with fluid, so its hurting pretty bad. I got some antibiotics so it should feel better soon, i just have to remember to take more breaks and walk around.
