In one of my recent post complaining about the bad weather, I mentioned taking a ride to Bear Mountain NY. Stevep316 suggested that a group of us get together and go. I think that's a great idea So here are some details:
It's every Wednesday, but we should try to be there no later than 6 PM. Otherwise we may not get in. I heard that around 800 cars can show up My only problem is that I won't be available until the 12th of July. I won't even be able to check my e-mail until the 10th to check the status of our ride. Anyway here is the information and a link to help you out
The
The rules for this season are no cars over 1986. If your car is newer you can become an associate member of the club and will be exempt from that rule, the $2 State parking fee and get one ticket to our summer barbeque.
The cruise starts at 6pm but people start arriving after 4pm as the field is close to full (800 cars) by 7pm.
For pictures of this cruise you can visit my Photosite at

I hope this answers your questions. Feel free to call me if you need anything further.
Take care,

I might be able to make it also. Went a few times last year, I went up 287 and got on the Palisades Interstate Parkway north in Nyack area.
I'm sure we can work out a good meeting place. Warbird, do you remember me, we meet at the BBQ at Paul's.

Yes I believe I do. How's everything going ? I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow with the Grandkids will be back on Friday, I'm looking forward to getting together in BM, sounds like a real nice place.
[QUOTE=stevep316]i work weekdays till 5, and im up in the dover area that time. i can probably get out a couple hours early and hook up with a couple of you guys and we can cruise up together! the ride up there is nice. if we can agree on a time and date- i can do either the 12th or the 26th of july

[QUOTE=warbird]Dave,That sounds good to me. I used to live in Flanders at the apt on top of the hill. For the life of me I can't remember the name [/QUOTE]
I'm confused, who is leaving from Dover, Steve or Warbird?
By the way Cookie, the apt. complex is Oakwood Village. When did you live here? I've been here since '84, but was always around here in the '70's before I got married since my brother lived here. He Managed a few bars in the area, The City Desk, The Bartley House, both were on 206.

Yup, oakwood Village it is. I lived thereabout 19 years ago when they newly built the apartments at the entrance. As a matter of fact, I was the first to move in out of all the new apartments. I only lived there for one year, then I went back home to my wife
I'm leaving from Roseland (Exit 5 I-280) which is east of you.

[/QUOTE]Steve & Dave, it looks like it's just us, unless you guys want to wait a couple of weeks to see if our group increases. I'm leaving Tuesday on a business trip and will be back on Weds before noon. I can give me my cell # as well as my office # (I call in 4 times a day when possible) If we're still on send me a PM for my cell.
Steve, I posted some specifics on the radio on the original posting.
It does not look good for Wed. Thunder storms every eve this week.
Lets make this another week, I'm ok with any date so you guys can post dates that work for you and we'll go from there.

[/QUOTE][QUOTE=warbird]I'll have to look at my travel schedule and make sure, but it sounds doable to me. I might go next Wednesday just to take a look, I also know of a couple of other non-vette owners who are interested.[/QUOTE]
Let me know if you go, I'll try & join you.

hey warbird,haven't been on c3vr in awhile,but got email from davem
about bear mtn, I was going up last night not knowing you guys were going, but we had some severe thunderstorms so I stayed away, but
I'll probably go up july 19, did you guys go?? I was at pauls barbecue
(purple vette)
Tony we didn't go, the weather sucked. We've been thinking about the 26th, but I may go with some other car nuts on Weds. the 19th too. One has a 67 Stang 350 GT, one has a beautiful Camaro (5 years to restore and maybe a couple of others. You're more than welcome to come. I'll be traveling later today and will be back on Friday.
Cookie
Hey Cookie, there is a Corvete Night at the Chatterbox this Friday eve. They have one the 2nd Friday of each month. Most likely will be going with a bunch of Vettes from my area, your more than welcome to join us.

I've been there, it's a nice ride from my house. I'm on my way to PA and will be back tomorrow. I'll try and make it but it all depends on what time I get back. If I go I'll keep an eye out for you.
Cookie
I'll go with you guys,as i was going to go last night but because of the weather I decided not to. i usually go a few times each year,no need to get there before 6:00pm, usually they get big crowds after a
few rainy wednesdays then a lot of cars come. If you guys are coming up 287 you can take that to 87 south tappan zee bridge to
exit 13n palisades parkway to the very end. you will come to a circle
bear right at the circle and the entarnce is about a mile down the road
make sure you park on the field not the parking lot
[QUOTE=tonyb47]what town is the chatterbox in dave,if its not to far i may come[/QUOTE]
Tony, see new topic for Friday night at Chatterbox.
It's at Rt. 206 & Rt. 15 in Augusta, NJ. From your place it's kind of a pain to get to since there are no highways that go directly there from your area. Check out directions on line and see if it's too far. If I don't see you there, maybe we can get together for Bear Mt.

last weather forcast I saw looked ok for tonight, I'll check later today
again, I plan on going if the weather is ok
Bear Mt. is 1.5 hours away from me so the weather is most likley diff.
They say showers on/off all day today out here. I don't think I will be able to leave work early today and that would put me up at Bear Mt at about 7pm, a little late. So it does not look good for me anyway.
One of these days we'll get up there Tony.
