MASSC SKYLANDS RALLY - Attendance Thread

[dengel]

I have started this thread in order to help Michele and I keep track of who will attend which activities for our MASSC 2008 Solstice in the Skylands Rally on the weekend of June 20th - 22nd.

Please post here to confirm which activities you will participate in, whether you will have a passenger with you, and if you are staying in the Holiday Inn Express or another local hotel overnight. I wil maintain as accurate a list as possible for each segment of the event in the next few posts of this thread.

Please post which of the following events you will participate in:

1. Friday Night Dinner - June 20th, Pub 199, Mt. Arlington, NJ, Time TBD

2. Saturday Run - June 21st, departs Holiday Inn Express, Mt. Arlington, NJ approx. 9:00AM

3. Saturday Dinner - June 21st, Walpack Inn, Wallpack Center, NJ, 5:30PM

4. Sunday Run - June 22nd, includes a quick lunch stop and two winery visits. Departs Holiday Inn Express, Mt. Arlington, NJ approx. 11:00AM and should end by 3:00PM, but there will be opportunities for folks to leave the run route and head home at different stops.

5. For those staying overnight locally in the area, please post which nights you are staying and where.


Thanks!

Diane, I carried this over for easy access to info for hotels, restaurant links etc. Everyone can continue to post after it.

[quote]MASC would like to invite all Solstice and Sky owners to join us for our 3rd Annual Regional Meet & Greet which will be held on the
Summer Solstice in the Skylands region of NJ. Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22, 2008




Diane & I are planning the route & itinerary which includes (as a point of interest) NJ's very own "Solstice Stones" Tripod Rock at Pyramid Mountain. However, they are a mile inland so we don't know if anyone is going to want to make this trek.

Park personnel believe that Tripod Rock is glacial but their opinion about the two smaller ones is ambiguous. "We believe the Solstice Stones were placed there by Native Americans because it was probably a ceremonial site. The sun sets between those two rocks." The Solstice Stones each sit on three small rocks, forming small tripod rocks, just like the big one nearby. You can sit on a certain cleft rock behind the two Solstice Stones and watch the sun set between them on the summer solstice. The fourth tripod-in-the-making has one or two stones under it and appears to be waiting for a third to officially make it a tripod rock. The curious can take a park-run Summer Solstice Hike on June 21 from 7 to 9pm and watch the sun set. Registration and $3 required. Everyone should know these rocks exist in NJ.

You can expect an fun lunch at a cool drive in: Welcome to The Chatterbox Drive-In Web Site!!! an awesome route, visits to a few really good local wineries, dinner at the historic Walpack Inn: Picture Album - The Walpack Inn - Rustic Country Restaurant
and the best part: comaraderie.

We also plan on stopping at Wild West City for some shoot 'em up cowboy fun and an authentic group picture which will be submitted for the "western themed" 2009 Solstice/Sky National calendar. The calendar will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I'm negotiating the group admission since we won't be there all day. Right now, we plan to take the pictures between 9:45am and 10:30am; we may not be charged admission since it's being done before the doors open to the general public. Wild West City is over 50 years old and is styled after Dodge City, circa 1880. It looks old, it feels old and it is old but I'm older. I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that it is a new style Disney type of amusement park. It isn't.

Wild West City - Western theme park, amusement and educational center - Netcong, NJ







Friday night:
For those of us who are coming in Friday night, Diane suggests Pub 199 for dinner. It's right up the street from the hotel and her house.
Here's a web review - tommy:eats: Pub 199: Mt. Arlington, NJ

Jacuzzi in the party suite! Bring your guns and skivvies



Update:
These are a few of the hotel choices in the Mt. Arlington area. (Two of them are right down the street from dengel's house! ) I blocked off 10 rooms at the Holiday Inn for Saturday, 6/21 and Sunday 6/22. The hotel is newly renovated and the general manager Kevin Steib asks that reservations be made by June 5th. The price is discounted to $102 if you prepay. Mention MASSC if you call. Buffet breakfast is included. If you are a member with the Marriot chain, their hotel is right across the street.

We'll be meeting in the Holiday Inn Express parking lot at 9am on Saturday morning.
We need to be at Wild West City by 9:45am.

Oh, see, and you're busting on me for not including you on the lists?

How can I add you to the lists until you tell me which parts of the event you plan attend? We've got a full weekend of activities going on here, ya know. You'll really be missing out if you don't make it to as many as possible.

[willie52]

I'm in all of Saturday and Sunday..........

[SKY 07]

If you need to book a room DON"T talk to Hazel. I'm sleeping in my car until SKYMAN-CT books rooms for us. I didn't do well tonight trying to book a room at the Holiday Express.
SKYMAN-CT... Where are you... I did help... T.

All activities for Saturday except dinner...I thought I was perfectly clear..

[solli4me]

Mike, I hope your Garmin is working - you'll never find your way out of the Skylands without it. Maybe you should tell your bride that you need an escort.

You call that perfectly clear? We must speak different languages, then.
