Everyone:

I now have all of the information for the June 6th Tri (actually Quad)-State Meet.

WHEN: Saturday, June 6th, 9 am sharp.

WHERE: Western New Jersey and the Pocono Moutains in Pennsylvania.

STARTING POINT: The starting point will be the Olive Garden Restaurant parking lot at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall in Rockaway, New Jersey, which is directly off of Interstate 80 in Morris County, New Jersey (if you are taking 80 West, it is Exit 35A). The Olive Garden is on the right of the first entrance to the mall after you have exited Interstate 80.

Here is a link to the mall's website: http://www.simon.com/mall/mall_info.aspx?ID=116

ENDING POINT: The Dimmick Inn in Milford, Pennsylvania. 101 East Hartford Street, Milford, PA 18337 (570-296-4021). The Dimmick Inn's website is www.dimmickinn.com

THE ROUTE: The route will begin at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall and head into the Poconos at East Strousdburg, Pa. From there, we'll delight in a series of twisty, windy, scenic country roads that will take us through the Pocono Mountains, passing by Pennsylvania towns such as Hamlin, Hawley and Lackawaxen. I have driven the entire route and it will be a lot of fun. Just about all of it (once we are in the Poconos) is on small, country roads that are a driver's delight. I will distribute the exact route directions at the 9 am meet-up.

My guess is that we'll end at the Dimmick Inn between 1:30 and 2:30 pm but it just depends on how long the drive takes us. You will see a lot of the Poconos and the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania on this drive. Please gas up before the drive begins.

WHAT TO BRING:

• EZ PASS (If you don't own one, borrow one from someone that does)
• Walkie-Talkies - If you have a set of Walkie-Talkies, PLEASE bring them
• Radar detector
• Full tank of gas
• Camera
• Video Camera

We will have lunch at The Dimmick Inn. The inn, located in the center of Milford, Pa ( a quaint, historic town on the Delaware River near the intersection of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, does not have a parking lot but there is street parking nearby. As you approach the inn, make a right at the traffic light which is in front of the inn and park on the side streets.

I will distibute detailed driving directions for the meet at the 9 am meet-up at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall. This will be a long and fun drive so there will be checkpoints along the way, so everyone can catch up, should people get separated from the group throughout the various drives.

Plan on carving out the whole day for this event. The drive is longer than the one for the Bear Mountain Meet and begins with a 40 mile ride from the Rockaway Townsquare Mall on I-80 to the Poconos. Once we're in the Poconos, the real driving fun begins.

Given that the Rockaway Townsquare Mall is about 40 miles West of New York City on I-80, I encourage those attending to organize caravans to get to the Rockaway Townsquare Mall.
