How about another Eastern PA meet?

[buzzkillwill]

I'm in...a day trip would be nice in the sweet truck now that I have XM..WOOHOO!!!

[steves]

I'm thinking that some kind of names in a hat would probably be the fairest way to do it.... I hear that there are some "professional" drinkers out there...

OK. We can also add your name in that hat but you've got to be there!! Deal?

But we now need to narrow down our choices of places and pinpoint a date. Interested parties' attendance & opinions are being solicited.

So far here's the list of interested members:

buzzkillwill (!)
Clancy (!)
TOK (!)
PuvMan (!)
Carteach0
jhromy (?) no commitment yet.
steves (!)
gr8Titan. (!)

You guys think it's now OK to agree on a place and specific date?

[jhromy]

let me know a date and place and ill see if can come with my baby..oh and my fiancee....june 25th is no good for me though...engagement party

[RU2112SH]

Count me in I live in Vineland, NJ. I think the Valley Forge area would be good. Not as far as allentown for the members farther south. Just pm me when its going to happen.

[titanse05]

I'd be up for it.....however 25th doesn't work for me either as I will be vacationing at OBX from the 25th to July 3rd.

[steves]

How about the weekend of July 9th? I'll be headed out to Bloomington, IN over the 4th.
Picnic area at Valley Forge park seems the most popular so far? http://www.nps.gov/vafo/rec/picnic.html
I'm not sure what the rules are about grilling/cooking. I will have to attempt to investigate. Do you think we would qualify as a "large group?"

[buzzkillwill]

We don't qualify as a large group, and trust me, we don't want to go that route.

The park would be a good choice. You can 'grill' there, but the grill must be off the ground, preferably a propane. Also, if someone wants to drink, that would NOT be the place to do it.

I notice there's three picnic sites, which one will we meet at?

But I can make the 9th-works for me!!!

Ball is in your court steves. I guess no one has rulled out Valley Forge so it will be the first choice(?). It may actually be a good site for the Ladies as they may want to go shopping at the VF Mall on the way home.

With RU2112SH and titanse05 attending, there's about 10 already on the list. Let's get it going!!! July 10th (Sunday) is OK with me. How's that date for everybody?

I'm bringing a full size propane grill and dogs and burgers. Condiments anyone?

[buzzkillwill]

I'll bring some buns, and no, not my arse ones, hot dog and burger buns...

Chips too...

[steves]

I can take care of the cooler and sodas (since I'm local).

I was thinking that we would want to try for either Varnum's (Rt 23) or Wayne's Woods (Outerline Drive). The one at Betzwood is on the other side of the river, and slightly more difficult to provide directions to.

Sunday July 10th meet @ 11:30-12:00?

[steves]

Oh, if anyone needs any information about the local area let me know and I can try to track it down for you.

Also, Here's a google map that should help you get familliar with the area.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=food+k...0.113429&hl=en
Basic easiest directions Take the PA Turnpike to exit 327/N Gulph Rd.
Follow N Gulph Rd for about 2 miles (along PA-422).
N Gulph Rd intersects PA-23.
(From Allentown, PA http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.09...PA+19481&hl=en)
Once we track down the site, I should be able to give better directions.

Sunday the 10th sounds great. My wife is a great cook so I'll bring some potatoe salads and such. Also makes these killer cookies that are like mini pecan pie's. Looking forward to it hopefully someone has a prg kit I really want to see one close up. I have a 04 se cc or 4x4 with toolbox and overhead racks.

[PuvMan]

how does 'newest titan owner' sound for the giveaway?

hahaha.... just kidding, names in hat is usually the best!

Sunday sounds like a good day... the 8th is my bday, so the 9th i will surely be hungggggggggggggg over!
