Ya someone from near there needs to take this meet by the short and curlies and set something up. I will at least be there, no matter where it is.

 

Ha ha ha...OK Michael - I am just going to proceed with setting up a meet for that Linden Hall event. There hasn't been too much in the way of other options posted, so if anyone objects go ahead and post up and we'll take it from there.

Jim (Bodyman) lives very close to Linden Hall and has offered to assist, so there will be two of us here locally working on it. That should help a lot.

So, I will get together the registration info for the event and put it up for everyone to register, and talk to the hotel to see if they would offer a group rate or something like that. I'll get started this weekend and see how it goes.

 

Hi Jeff,

I plan on going to both - so PM me if you have any questions or anything. I go to Akron from time to time to visit friends, I'll letcha know if i'm in the area.

 

haha sorry, I knew that if someone didn't take charge of it we would be going back and forth till next year

thanks Chris X!!!

 

Actually I was planing on getting Laurie on this. Seems only fair since I'm putting a Jaguar together for her.

Let me know if rooms at Linden Hall don't work out. I can check with the Hampton. That would be the closest decent motel.

 

Sounds awesome I say we get a poll in another thread just to get a head count and that way it should help when trying to figure out how many rooms to get a group rate. Usually if you have a head count they can have a block of rooms for a few weeks to reserve that way you guys are putting any deposits etc on a room. Then everyone can try to get that discounted rate in that block and we can all be at the same hotel. I wish my mom still worked at the hotel she used to work at. She used to work at choice hotels and I could of gotten a nice discount for everyone but she is no longer employed so there went the discount.

 

Hell I was hoping to bring my tent and stake up in Jim and Lauries front yard!


I'll even bring the cheap beers to boot.....

 

Ooooh! Could you Imagine filling up a section of a campground with Jags?? It would be like seeing them in the wild! Rofl.. I'm cheap, I prefer camping..


PS: I make a pretty good pot of campfire beans & cornbread.

 

Hell I'm definitly down for some camping if we get a few of us together we should check into some campsites. It would be cool if we all met up there and just had a huge cookout. Plus campsites tend to be in the middle of nowhere which means twisties will be near. This type of camping will actually be fun compared to the camping I've done in the past (military training). Any good campsites nearby that will let us pitch some tents (LOL).

 

This is close.

There is also primitive camping at Cedar Creek Park next to the bike trail and the Yough River. I would have to investigate that as far as reserving sites ect. My only experiance with camping is with a motorhome.

Rick, you would have to see my front yard to believe it. The township is installing a sewer system and decided it would be better to tear up my property than damage their road. Meanwhile the street is completely destroyed from triaxles and excavators. They don't seem to be in any hurry to finish the landscaping. I just hope they don't run out of money and leave this mess.

 

Thanks for the lead on the Hampton Inn Jim - maybe Laurie could give em a buzz and see if they would offer a group rate at all or approx how many we'd need?

I don't think Linden Hall would want to play ball with a group rate for an event they are hosting - considering it is also a Corvette event (tons of em everywhere) and they only have 74 rooms I bet they will be full. But I'll check anyway.

Camping - Ohiopyle State Park isn't that far away and they have campsites and they are cheap. I camped out at a campground near the park once - Scarlett Knob. Pretty nice. Here is a listing of campgrounds near or in the park - there are TONS of places to camp in that area: Camping near Ohiopyle State Park | Campgrounds Near Ohiopyle | Ohiopyle State Park Campground | Campgrounds in Fayette County Pennsylvania

I was actually thinking a good Saturday activity for those coming a day early would be to go to Ohiopyle and check out Falling Water and the state park - the park is nice, there are bike trails, white water rafting/kayaking, etc. Good trout fishing too.

But the best part is Ohiopyle is surrounded by some awesomely twisty, hilly roads! Vance you would be stoked.

Some info on the park: Pennsylvania State Parks - Ohiopyle - PA DCNR

Ohiopyle is only about 15 miles from Linden Hall, so it's close. Map of the area with Linden Hall and Ohiopyle:

BUMP. Should we get a head count of who can go for the weekend of June 3-6th. Then find out who wants to stay at a hotel and who would camp. I looked at some campsites and most of them can put 2 per site so cost of that would be really cheap with 2 people paying for one site. I also found a few that had large group campsites. I haven't called anywhere yet but if we get enough people that would camp I'll call and see what the parking is like for the large site cause I believe it said 10 people could camp there at once. Then we can line the cars up on the site and just get one site for 10 of us. So how about we get a yea or na and if you are gonna do hotel or camping then we can give the local guys an idea of how many rooms they should be calling about. Then maybe schedule some other hangouts.

 

Yes numbers are important.

 

I'm down

 

Ok guys. I haven't checked with this thread in a while...so I'll def. sound like a dip...so what's the scoop? Is it Philadelphia or Cancun, Mexico? Can someone post me the friggin details. I'll go but I'm not gunna sift through the threads lookin for the details. Come on, someone throw me a bone here...you know...I'm not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer- kind of thing.

 

You gonna do hotel or would you do camping Michael?

 

Chris is working on getting the registration details for the show at Linden Hall. Goggle Dawson PA. for the show location. It's south and east of Pittsburgh. Weekend of June 3-6. Lodging and activities besides the show are still in the planing stage. As mentioned a count will be needed to negotiate for rooms unless everyone camps.

 

I'll sleep in the Jag -- i've done it plenty of times while drunk.

Speaking of which, i'll be bringing Patron and JD so we can have an even better time

 

I know people here that have got DUIs for that. Sounds crazy but if you are in the car with keys on you....Bingo. Don't have to be driving. I never could figure out how you can get arrested for something you aren't doing but they do it all the time.

 

I know - i was only half joking lol. When I used to do that though, i would leave the key on the roof or throw them under the car. They cant do anything then -- i've had them come up and question me. Once they see that, they walk away.
