I think late September early October would be nice.
Yeah, early October could be good too. We're not camping, we're in a hotel, so even if it's a little chilly we should be good.
Might be easier to get a hotel in October too.

Just recording here that a member emailed me and recommended the Antique Automobile Museum at Hershey, PA.
Not sure how close it will be to where we stay. May not be close enough.

Adam, that was one of the first places I thought about as a place to visit until I found out that depending on where we stay would be anywhere from 2 to 2 1/2 hour drive alone. Also several of us have already been there and it’s a place you can spend the better part of a day checking out all the exhibits there. I would recommend it to anybody to pay a visit there but plan on a whole day doing so.

Marshall had suggested the museum in a post above in this thread. Just as a point of reference the Friday drive at last year's Gathering was just under 200 miles round trip. I remember the Friday drive at the 2014 Gathering in Wisconsin was a long day, probably the longest of any of the Gatherings, as we left the hotel early and didn't get back until after dark. The loop around Lake Tahoe at the 2007 Gathering was an all day trek as well if memory serves.
If we find a host hotel near the center of the region that will make the daily drives a little more consistent in length. But if venues are more gathered in a particular part of the region then it makes more sense to find a host hotel more central to that part of the region.
My 2 pennies worth.

O.K. I'll start. Most central area for our stay and ease of access to most venues would be Tannersville. Close exit to highway 84. Many lodgings in area. Eating establishments are various and accessible. Late July may eliminate the rush of vacationers to the area. I'm not real familiar with the area, but activities for our age group may be limited, and require some travel to find acceptable venues. How many days do you want to enjoy? How far in one day do you want to drive? Road trips? Casinos? History? Entertainment? Day trips on your own? Casual time with participants? So much to think about, and accommodate those who attend. Let's not loose the opportunity to gather and renew friendships, and make a trip from afar a memorable time.
Hwy 84?
Gold MemberMt. Pocono area has many hotels and is close to Racetrack. Mount Airy casino is 6 minutes away, Lehigh George Scenic railroad is 39 minutes away, Claws and Paws Lake Areil about 38 minutes away. Hoarse back riding stables are fairly close if that is of interest to some of the group. The Nascar race is July 21-23 so we want to stay away from this time period as a selection.
Just a few thoughts.
