Everyone:
Just wanted to update you on where things are. Gregg and I are planning this and I am working on the route. Although it is a work in progress, suffice it to say that it is going to be a lot of fun, with twisties, lakes, climbs and descents, Pennsylvania small towns and lots more. The route will be considerably longer than the Bear Mountain Meet route but will be very easy to follow. We are working hard to give you a great route for the drive.
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
The start time will probably be 9 am sharp. More information to follow as the meet draws closer.
Here is the current list of members who have told us that they are attending.
1. Sdg1871 (Scott) -- 550
2. pse60 (Paul) - 530
3. pgetsch (peter & elpida) - 530
4. OutRAYgeous (& guest)
5. Ellicit (rahill)
6. BMWM5NYC (Richard)
7. king1828 (Joe) M5
8. m630 - mike M6 (probable)
9. vw2545i
10. zerocool (dwight/jas-tentative)

I noticed some activity on the thread where we proposed this meet.
This thread is the thread for the actual June NJ/PA meet.
There is a chance that Gregg and I may do a poll to see if June 13 or 30 is better for members than the currently scheduled June 6 date because I have received a number of requests from members who want to attend this meet but can't make it on June 6th but could make it on June 13 or 20.
Regadless of the whether we move the date, the route will be a lot of fun and it will be long. The fun part will be in the Poconos Mountains although the initial meet up location will be in western NJ at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall in Rockaway, NJ off of Interstate 80.

I confused, when's the meet? Where are we going? What's my name? 
ok, at least I have Nav, so if you give the place and time, I'll be there

As my prior post states, the meet will start at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall in Rockaway, NJ at 9 am sharp. While we are still working out the final details of the route (we'll distribute the route directions at the meet itself), the meet will wind through the Pocono Mountains and go through some Pennsylvania towns. It will contain twisty roads, sweepers, changes in elevation and it will be a really fun drive. The route will be longer than that we did at the Bear Mountain Meet and I see it ending at about 2 pm or so.
It will end in Milford, Pennsylvania, a town on the Delaware River that is near Port Jervis, NY and High Point, NJ (near the point where Pa, NY and NJ all meet). We are still scoping out which restaurant in Milford will be the ending point. The route will be long and interesting. It should be a lot of fun.

Yes, this is the thread for the meet. I have been waiting to Gregg to return from a trip before taking a poll to see if people would prefer June 13 or 20 as opposed to June 6th, which is when the meet is currently scheduled.
