Delaware Water Gap Meet (NJ/PA), Come one, Come all- October 22nd Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

DELAWARE WATER GAP NAT'L RECREATION AREA
Fall Meet, Saturday October 22nd. Around 12 noon-1pm.

Anybody is welcome and eagerly invited to join in on the event, so don't feel the need to ask if its ok if you come! I spoke with defgeph earlier in the week and we really want to push to make this a great meet with a big turnout....so here's the details-

DETAILS- The meet will be held at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area which straddles the border of Northwest New Jersey and Northeastern Pennsylvania. The location is extremely easy to find as its directly off of Route 80 and has large parking lots, portable toilets (no more peeing behind the bridge, etc. ) LOTS of areas to barbeque and picnic as well as a series of long winding mountain roads for having a group cruise and joy rides.

It's the perfect location for a meet with tons of photo ops, places to drive to throughout the park and towns to the north, plenty of activities and parking. Also for those who are driving any distance, theres plenty of camping available, and I'm down for a campout if anybody is interested. Heres a few pictures for reference-

PHOTO REFERENCES-



HOW TO GET THERE- there is no exit number for this exit, however it is VERY easy to find if you follow these directions.If you take Rt. 80 East, the entrance to the meet will be the first exit as soon as you head into the Water Gap, called the Water Gap Visitors Center. You will see signs that say "Picnic Area" and "Rest Stop" as you get within about a mile and a half of the meet. Just keep your eye on these signs and stay to your right and you'll see the exit once the signs start saying 1/4 mile or so. Its right in between the giant gap between the Appalachian Mountains as soon as you enter a twisty "S" curve on Route 80....hard to miss. As soon as you get off the exit proceed past the first parking lot on your right and bear left through the Rt. 80 underpass shown above. The underpass will make you bear to your right after the yield sign and the lot will be immediately to the right. If you take Rt. 80 Westbound, You will drive over the Delaware River toll bridge on your way into New Jersey. Take the first exit you see after crossing the toll bridge and bear left past the visitors center. The lot will be on your right.

**NOTE- Mapquest and other maps do not state an exit number, but its very very easy to recognise by following the above details.

So lets get this rolling, I'm looking foward to a big response with a great way to end the season. So add your name to the list and PM me or Jeff (defgeph) if you have any questions pertaining to the meet, we'll be glad to address them.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Awesome dude, I'm really exited for this....I hope everyone realizes what a beautiful and fun meet this can be.

Also I mentioned camping overnight for people who are comming from further distances....if thats not your style but you dont feel like making the drive back that night, theres plenty of hotels just minutes away off 80 as soon as you get into Pennsylvania so dont feel that caming is your only option.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Damn didnt realize how far that is, thats a 4 1/2 hour drive.. and would be $60 in just gas.. humm .. I might have to think about this, loosing a days pay then spending moneya nd driving.. dangit..

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Yeah that would be a bit of a hike. Its very very easy to get to though, if you read my directions and click the links it'll explain pretty well how to find your way....It'll be a great meet though if you can make it.

Hes not lying. I just found this actually....They say that its the oldest commercial road in America, dating back 8,000 years. Several sites suport this fact and say that today its one of the best cruises you'll ever take.
