Hello guys this is your captain speaking. Please sit tight and hold on cuz were going for another ride.
By popular demand we will be having a Final meeting to outdue the Last meeting. Everyone (69 Rotary cars) + lots of people have requested for the 9-17-2006 meet NOT to be the final meet for the 2006 season. So this is for you guys (ya cant flake now!).
The meet shall be held in Bear Mountain State Park located 45 minutes away from NYC and a little over an hour from Albany. We picked the spot because it sits perfectly between the capital and the biggest city in NY.
For those of you who live in NYC and LI do not be discouraged, its not as far as it seems, its only 45 minutes doing the speedlimit! The upstate fellows come from syracuse and albany to NYC we gotta show some rotary respect and love and hold something a lil more convenient to our bretheren.
So the details are October 8th 2006 at 9:00am Sharp at Bear Mountain State Park. We will be going to Parking Lot # 2. The parking fee is $6 per car (since its a state park, but its well worth it). The parking area is to the right hand side which is conveniently located by Bathrooms, Ample picnic tables , and beautiful trees. Unlike FMP we are close to our cars and our foods which is a win win scenario.
Directions from NYC & LI is as follows:
NOTE: There will be a Pre-meet location for the caravan to Bear Mtn. The pre meet location is on 92nd Street and Astoria Blvd in East Elmhurst Queens NY. We will be at the BURGER KING Parking Lot. From there we will follow the directions listed below:
** Please dont say that i didnt post directions!!! **
1. Either Triboro Bridge ($4.50) or Queensboro Bridge ($0.00) to FDR Drive NorthBound
2. FDR to Harlem River Drive Northbound heading towards the George Washington Bridge (GWB)
3. GWB upper level to exit 74 for the Palisades Interstate Parkway Northbound
4. Stay on PIP till it ends. You will need to pass exit 19 and continue on the 2 lane road.
5. Make a right at the Round about towards "Haverstraw" (9W South, Route 202 West).
6. Continue up the hill, bearing right at the light.
7. Pull into the second parking lot (LOT 2) on the right hand side, adjacent to the lodge (Parking is $6.00 per car)
As always Anil (Kaot1k) and Tommy (BklynRX7) will be bringing their grills and anyone can use them to cook their food.
I am not in charge of the food list so just to be safe, Bring your own food. For those of you who have attended our previous meets, everyone contributes what they can and therefore can share in everyones food.
