So as of now we have a possibility of 48 cars so far.

THE DATE IS MARCH 31st WHICH IS A SATURDAY.

Here is the latest update. Well, the scenic overlook is out because there are only 10-15 spaces there. So, I drove around and found "Lamberton Park" in Trenton, which is right next to the Trenton Thunder Stadium. It should easily hold us all, and I think it's a good starting point. I drove the route today up Route 29 North into Lambertville and over the bridge into New Hope and then back down Route 32 South, then followed the Taylorsville Road / Route 32 South Detour and then turned left onto Washington Crossing Road, and over the Bridge into NJ. Then I turned into Washington Crossing State Park. It
was about a 45 - 60 minute drive from Lamberton Park. Although, like I said before, I would love to take the drive all the way up to the Delaware Water Gap Park and Old Mine Road, and end at High Point State Park, but we can finalize that later. The longer drive would take about 3 - 3 1/2 hours and cover approximately 120 miles from the park, but that's up to the polls. We'll see I guess. I'll probably do it no matter what. Like someone said, we need walkie talkies and maps, and maybe split into groups of like 10 and have 2 walkie talkies per group for front car and rear car. Anyway, we have plenty of time to plan everything.

Below is a picture of where Lamberton Park is.

Ok guys, here's the deal. I think we are just going to stick with meeting in Trenton at Lamberton Park. Then just go up 29N to Lambertville into New Hope and then down 32S to Washington Crossing road and then back over to NJ and then finish up at Washington Crossing State Park in NJ. How does everyone like that. Maybe another time we can start further north for the Delaware Water Gap run. It's better just to relax for a while at Lamberton Park for like an hour or so, and then take the hour or less cruise. That is my executive decision. PM me so I can re-create the list. Thanks!

Here is my final decision on the route. I promise. I say we take Route 29N all the way to Frenchtown, NJ make a left onto bridge street and go into PA. Take River Road / 32S all the way to Washington Crossing, and then back into NJ to Washington Crossing State Park. It's about a 50-60 mile run. 30 miles to Frenchtown from Trenton, and then to Washington Crossing State Park. Then everyone can get directions home from there. FINALIZED ROUTE!

Can I attend also?

sure. Why not.

The final date is March 31st, and the rain date would be April 14th, so we don't conflict with Easter weekend in case people have plans. As for the time, it has not been decided yet.

hopefully i will take delivery by March and meet up with you guys(girls)!!

Basically, everyone parks their car, gets out, talks to everyone, talk about your car, their car, what you've done, etc....then we go for a drive. That is the gist of it.

The drive itself will be around an hour or so. The meet will probably be around an hour or so as well, being that there will be around 40-60 cars there. It's going to be a good time.

Here's the updated list! It's getting pretty huge!
If you are on the list, and changed your mind, let me know. Thanks!

I was also thinking of changing the end destination to Oxford Valley Mall instead of Washington Crossing Park in NJ. I don't think it'll hold anywhere near as many cars as we will have. It's not really that far from where we were going to end anyway. Plus we can get food and stuff there after the meet. It's also an easier destination to leave from. Anyway, let me know what you guys think about that change.

Ok, here's an update. I drove up to Trenton today to check out the parking lot. There is about 200-250 spaces, so we should be good. Also, I drove the route and it took about an hour and 45 minutes. Let me know what you guys think. It's about a 60 mile ride total from Trenton to Frenchtown, and then to Oxford Valley Mall. I could shorten it a little. Otherwise everything was cool. We do need to be careful with our speed in some spots though. I saw about 8 cops on the whole drive scattered around. So we shouldn't be doing any excessive speeding in 25-35 MPH zones. That's were they seem to be at mostly. Anyway, let me know what you guys think about the length. It's cool with me, but the majority rules. I need to finalize plans by March 16th. I am trying to make a flier and make directions for the run. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks!
