Unhappy NELOC - Hawks Nest Drive - POSTPONED AGAIN...

Here's the info again , as demanded. Everyone wanted a nice afternoon drive type of meet. Well here it is. Let's see what you got!!! LOL.

Vote and lets make it happen.

HAWK'S NEST... Route 97.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Route_97


Here's a taste of it...

"Beautiful, smooth, two lane highway follows the upper Delaware River Valley along the NY/PA border. Beautiful river views, over mountains, with long sweeping curves. There is a fabulous section of twisties right outside of Port Jervis. Rt. 97 follows the old Erie RR mainline." - Gene DiGilio

This is a meet where we will get to enjoy our rides and see a beautiful part of the northeast. It's considered one of "Best Driving Roads in America" by Car and Driver. They say its the closest thing to the dragons tail in north Carolina.

YAY!! Aug 25th is my vote

I signed up for the one that was cancelled due to lack of interest. MD said they want a "driving" meet so here it is! Thanks Carlos for opening this back up and hopefully this time you'll get the expected response for a meet like this one!

August 25th. I am not going to be back from my vacation until the 23rd and I really don't want to miss out on this.

August 25th! Yep, sounds good. I'm in!

August 18th, I'm going to try to be in Tennessee for the infamous "Dragon".

In the fall (October), we will do a Skyline Drive...which will be in the hills of southern Virginia. We'll consider this to be the northern "drive".

I originally sugested the 18th, but if more people are coming on the 25th (which is what we need to make this happen) then count me in that date.

Senator, unfortunately, will have to tap out on this one. Jumping on a cruise ship in Miami on the 25th and not coming back until September 1st. I get giddy even when I think about it. You guys dont know what you will be missing. I will again attempt to organize another Neloc cruise in the future if anyone is interested.

Forget Harrisburg or Atlantic City, NELOC cruise would be crazy. That would be like a week long party. Just nuts.

Can we bring our cars? Maybe we just put all our cars on a big Ferry boat, and party on the ferry boat. I remember the Ferry to Martha's Vineyard was quite nice....
