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 Bear Mountain State Park is at the north end of the Palisades Parkway. If you want to do a map search the zip is 10911.

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

then chose an album then click on “view slideshow” for FULL screen photos.

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

Take care,

Bryan

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

any ideas?

The 26th isn't a good one for me, but the 12th is (I'll be coming back from Atlanta) Myself and a couple of friends plan to leave around 4 PM we're all taking off of work earlier. I figured rather than run up 9W and hit the GW bridge traffic, we should go up the NY thruway and cut across. That should be a nice ride. 

if thats the case, i live in ringwood/hewitt/tuxedo area, and thats on the way. (at least i think it is) perhaps we can meet somewhere along the way up there like say that big hotel parking lot out by mahwah rt 17/287/thruway interchange. stevep31638898.39625

Sounds like a plan

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.

maybe you could meet at the spot i mentioned- in the hotel parking lot up in mahwah

its the sheraton crossroads- the big one that just before the thruway
this is a good location to meet up- i was thinking meeting at 4:00

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.

Is anyone else interested in this get together  

Sorry, it's a 5 hour drive and not good for us in a one day event.   Maybe another event that is closer.   Have fun.
