NYC Area Rally

[thomas_sorrentino]

I'd like to plan on having an informal rally here in my home area.
I'm tenatively thinking Columbus Day Weekend 2007. I've checked with
the local County owned campground (Croton Point Park) and they are ok
with it. They have water, sewer and 30 amp electric. They would want
reservation deposits to block out a certain amount of sites next to
each other.
What you get if you come. Fall foilage should be starting. The
campground is on the Hudson River (a few members of the forum have
been there, maybe they'll speak up), very scenic area. South of the
campground you start getting into NYC area. Its less than 1 mile to
the train station. Its a 45 min train ride, or 40 mile drive to Grand
Central Station and all NYC has to offer. Broadway shows, museums,
great restaurants, shopping, etc.., etc.. If enough people want maybe
we could even get a group buy on tickets for a play! North of
campground you start getting into some nice rural country (Bear
Mountain State Park, Rockefeller park, etc.)
I'm not trying to twist anybodies arm, but you would have to stay way
longer than one weekend to do and see all the area has to offer!

At this point right now I'm trying to get a feel for how many coaches
would be seriously interested in coming?
Feedback?
Suggestions?
Comments?

Hi Tom,

That looks like a really interesting place to go. I found a couple of
sites with good info.

By the way, there may be some "birding" of the naturalist type to be
done. (Being a Canuk, I'm not quite sure when Colunbus Day is and
fall migration may be in progress or entirely over.)

Here are some links:-

We went to "Croton on the Hudson" Rally (FMCA) several years ago, at
that time there were few if any hook-ups. It was a very nice park and
a great rally.


My lasting memory is that we had a pizza party on Saturday evening,
local fellow made the pizzas. There were 600 people there!

Gardner,

Actually I was thinking Oct. 6, 7, and 8th. Thats what my calender
says for Columbus day weekend. It also gives 3 weeks (I think) until
RIV.

Tom,

Like your rally idea, count the Anderson's in (five including two
cats). Would be a great time and place for one right in the "rocking
chair " between possible Maxton II third week in September and the
RATS end of October.

Tom,
Those dates are good too. I just jumped on the Inet and thought it
was the 15th.
