ED, Do you or Bucky have any bunks left to split the cost or will I have to go to another cabin? Don't like sleeping on the ground, getting old! Trying to work out the details on my end but maybe this year is doable. I know I said that last year  Steve_Sixmil
Where's my $6 million??

we will ride in the rain and wet.. but they won't race.. and the main reason some are going is for the car show ..and if going to be a rainy day ..these guys are not going to bring out there classic car's and the tickets cost to much to get in so if it's crappy we will do something else..

Welcome Jerry. I'm leaving out of Northwest CT near where US route 7 crosses into CT from MA on Thursday morning the 8th, rain or shine. I'm going from there over to Newburgh, NY on Interstate 84. I will likely stop at exit 6 and meet up with another rider or hopefully two. I 90 is a might boring. 17 is quite a bit more scenic and almost as fast as 90. You and anyone else who reads this are more than welcome to join us. Brand / type/ size / color of motorcycle not relevant. Even trailers are welcome -- been there, done that too ;-) ) "It's all good."
I haven't looked at a map, but if you're leaving out of southern ME & I 90 is your best route, to divert to Newburgh then route 17, is maybe 25 or 30 miles longer than the I 90 route. See also MA Pike / I 90 to exit 2, to 102 west, then 7 south.
Plan B - if the guy(s) I mentioned above can't go, I would probably follow route 23 through the Catskill Mountains over to 17. I'd love to go back roads all the way across, but time won't allow, and so it's 17 for me.
If your schedule and routing offers you an interest in the above, I can provide more details if you wish.
It's a great rally you are sure to enjoy.

Dang Ed, I just started reading this post and came across this the last time we went over as group one member was asked to to pull over and go into customs "canada side" had a DWI many years ago he said yes ..the custom guards inside thats its ok your free to go.. it took all of 5 min's and he was back with the group..they did not make him fill out any forms or pay moneye.. now a little insite on this he did not act a "fool" he answerd all questions honest and with respect ..goes a long way ..... Man, I can't believe they still had that on record... twenty two years later!!! But I must say the lady with the rubber glove was quite gentle...

She lived a mile or three down the road, atop - wait for it -
"Music Mountain", which she did not name. It was named many years prior to her arrival.
She employed many local folk and no one had a bad word for her. She has since sold the house and is no longer a local.
Charlie, hope you can make it. I'm thinking exit 6 @ the Pilot truck stop to meet this year. If one of us is late (cough - who, me?) the other can go browse some naked chrome ladies for his mud flaps, & etc.

Ed,
Plans changed (what's new?). I was planning to work the vintage event at the Glen but recently received an invitation to a wedding in Dansville on Saturday. Dansville wins 2 events to one. I hope to see you all on Friday, at least.

Moe, to say the least, we of a population of 3,300 were a might surprised to first hear the song. Canaan is generally looked down upon by the neighboring towns for we have a great deal of industry here, including 4 or 5 active limestone quarries and a Becton Dickinson (aka BD) plant that puts out around 23 millions syringes a week. The neighboring towns support NYC weekend tourists instead. We are known as "The factory town," 'cept, Carole King didn't' write a song about them. Quote:
what time do you plan to meet at the pilot TS?
I'm thinking 10 am at the Pilot if that works for you and uncle charlie. It's 4 & 1/2 hours (non-stop) from there to Stony Brook. That should put us there by around 4:30? Probably gets dark there around 7:30 with the trees and all. I'm OK with earlier than 10 too. I'm taking 1/2 of Wednesday off to pack and such.
Kenny, Charlie, & Bucky - There's a geezer parade if ever I saw one. Might better get us a chase bam-bulance?

That's not ale, that's mind elixir - help you get your mind right.
Jerry - Our paths cross at Binghamton, NY. If our 10 am Newburgh plan flies, we should be in Binghamton around 12:30 or 13:00. Let me know if that works for you.

I'm planning to head out from work Wed. afternoon and probably spend the night around Harrisburg Va. Then should be at the campsite Thursday afternoon. If anybody wants to split one of the cabins, let me know. Those bunks (and mattress!) are looking pretty tempting after last year's cold, wet ground...maybe I'm just getting old. I'm going to plan on heading back south Saturday afternoon/evening, and get a few hours behind me. Then can take my time Sunday for the rest of the trip. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Will

Jerry, according to my google study, it seems 86/17 is a might lite on westbound services near Binghamton*. The best I could come up with is Manley's Mighty Mart at 53 Downs Ave Binghamton, NY From 86 / 17 West Take Airport Road / County Rd exit Manley's Mighty Mart is on the right http://www.manleysmm.com/Looks like food, gas, & restrooms should be available (Hopefully not in that order...) See you around 13:00.  As you know, you gotta whole lotta miles to run by 13:00 (425 or so) so if you get delayed, don't sweat it for our sake & come along easy, and plan B might be indicated - Get off 390 at exit 4. On your left will be a gas station. Call me from the gas station and me or someone who can hopefully emulate at least partial sobriety will come out and show you the last mile or two to the campground. First time trying to find the place can be an adventure, especially after a 550 mile ride. *I have a hard time reading or hearing the word "Binghamton" without thinking of:  Phun Phacts Rally Style: The campground was built by the CCC. The stonework there is awesome. There are acoupla beautiful waterfalls on site. There are no flying bugs there. Nada, nuh-uh, nuttin. I can;t explain it, but it's true. No skeeters, flies, noseeums, nuttin. I don't even bother to bring bug spray - don't need it. The fee to camp there is two fitty, as in ($2.50) per night. Pretty durned cheap.
