Okay. Let's look at a few weeks later. No prob for me (My wife may be busy, but one VX should be enough.). So let's hear other date ideas.Quote:

I think I'd be pretty good with any weekend date in June aside from that one.
Any objections to June 15th? That'll give everyone a month to get their rigs in order. (As if ANYthing takes just a month.) ;)

The 15th works for me.They have a website (Lazy Acres),I have to check out.Maybe I can take a ride there and check the place out too..I was told you can rent a camp site for 40-50$ a day?.. Blacksambo..My dog goes with me also :yesy:,,I will find out about that .TonyB..
Sunday June 16th would be preferred, but we'd only come for the day.
OK 16th June Good for me.... How many we got??:confused: Maybe we could rent a cabin/campsite..not sure how much room for cars at campsite,I will look into it...TonyB
Yes. How many are interested in this site on June 16th?
I'm in for June 16th.
If we can score a campsite (not to stay overnight, I presume?), that would be great to do a BBQ and serve as a home base for any +1s that come along.

Sounds good, and we'd chip in.
Just occurred to me that June 16TH is father's day. Maybe that will be a concern and an alternate date should be looked at?
Hmmmm... yeah.
Whenever else then. Just not the 2nd. ;)

Do we have some other dates in mind out there?
So does everyone prefer sun? I should be good any of those weekends. And Sat works too. 6/15 6/22 6/29 ? w/enough notice... And I as well have heard that's a cool spot. Also just a short drive away 10/15 mins goes over the Minnewaska Mtn State park, cool hairpin turn n incredible views of the Hudson river/valley etc. might be a cool photo/video opp... Or a nice route to take to n from meet:) rt 44/55
I think we should start a new thread for this potential gathering (SWARM) in order to get more attention for it. What say?
Well...I think this idea is losing steam??? At any rate, I've decided this Sunday June 2, we'll venture down the Hudson to the Frederick Vanderbilt Estate in Hyde Park in Dutchess County, NY in the PM for a self meet. Anyone that wishes to do so also please do so. (We don't bite, I can assure you.)
Hey Blacksambo I might be able to make it..Got my VX registered in Vermont last week.I have Temp plate, waiting for Vanity plate (VX VT)..I am still cleaning and (been sitting in driveway for 1 1/2 years):(Taking for test ride today:yeso: Going next week for exhaust,tail pipe fell off and flex thingy rotted...What time you going to be there? Maybe we could get a small Swarm going???TonyB
I'll be in PA (Starrucca area) heading back to Jersey on Fathers day... coming back via 17 (quickway) past Roscoe, Liberty, Goshen etc....
I'd like to do this before it gets too hot...... someone needs to pick a day, time and place and lock it in.... it's never going to be good for everyone.... just saying.
Ima gunna try n meet Sun, For whatever reason my thread updates got sent to spam? So I've been a little out of the loop and forget to check the board, but I think starting a new thread is a great idea!!
Someone start a new thread..I don't know how :confused: I am a go for Sunday..Finnished cleaning,wash,wax,wiped the cladding,polished the wheels ect..I went for a 27 mile ride,no engine light so far.Seems to run good..TonyB
Well...it's starting to sound like a quorum for a Swarm on Sunday in Dutchess County , Hyde Park Vanderbilt Estate. I'd guess 2PM might be a convenient start time. They have a big paved lot out in the sun. But if there is a big tourist crowd they open up the shady grove just North of the paved lot under the trees. It's a simply beautiful place and very natural, like a big Central Park, kinda. Just fiollow the signs to parking we'll see each other, I'm sure. By the way they have a great mansion tour all afternoon. (Women love it, if that helps.) Hope to see ya there. "BZZZZZZZ"!
2pm sounds good to me..TonyB
Hi, I may join on Sunday. Ian not sure right now but aim 85% positive. If anybody wants to join that would be great!
Sorry Fellers. I had to choose between NY meet & NC meet. NC meet won because of opportunity to get'r muddy.
I'll make it up your way eventually though.
Have fun.
Enjoy it! Unfortunately I'm still a no-go for this impromptu gather on Sunday, but I look forward to a proper meet over the summer.
Take pics!

BUSY weekend for me to say da least.... Good thing Vanderbilt s only about an hr away. Pool raising party, funeral, now scrub up VX!! mine's a lil rough no teasing fellas! See yas @2 lookn forward to it!!
We'll be there, and snap some photos. Beautiful Federal Park, free admission, but the mansion tours costs a small fee. Maybe they will have their garage open? They had a chauffer driven sixteen cylinder Cadilllac limousine, among other greats in the stable ( I think a Minerva also.)
The weather at the moment does not look promising for tomorrow. High threat of severe thunderstorms and tornados. Stay home folks if this forecast still holds in the late morning. I know I will if that's the case. Be safe, not sorry.
.I will be at Baird park this morning..for the car show..Going there with my VX if weather is ok I will ride over to Vanderbilt estate at 2pm. TonyB
I will go to the car show as well and then I will go to the other place around 2pm. The weather seems to be fine so far.
Still trying to be @ Vanderbilt @2...
I'm headed to Vanderbilt now. Will be there about 1PM.
2PM at Vanderbilt north lot. Just closed. Storm approaching.
Wait a minute a Kaiser shows up but driverless. Gotta beat it!
Storm slowed me up but I'll be there in 15
Iam here with a silver next to me. I saw another one with an original bra and japanese mirror around 2:15 but he has not returned. It seems that he left.
Yup that was me in silver, didn't see anyone around so we went on mansion tour. Was pretty cool!
