MASSC Buds and Blossoms Run 2012 - Saturday, April 21st

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MASSC will once again celebrate Spring on our Buds and Blossoms Run on Saturday April 21st. We will once again visit all of our favorite spots (Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks, a twisty drive west on 17-A ending at the Warwick Valley Winery for lunch). I haven't had a chance to do a pre-run yet. Once I do I will finalize the run route, but I expect it to be similar to past years..

For more info on the places we will visit, you can check out these websites:

Scenic Byways in New Jersey

Bear Mountain State Park - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Harriman State Park - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery

We will meet at the Stateline Lookout on the Palisades Parkway at 10am. There is a cafe and restrooms at the overlook, and we will take some time to gather together and probably take a group photo or two.

We will depart from the Lookout PROMPTLY at 11:00am. The drive itself should take us about 3 hours. This will give us enough time to enjoy the drive and still reach the winery in time for lunch and wine tasting.

Please let me know if you can make it and I will start an attendance list.

I put it on both mine and Reed's calendars. We'll see if he actually remembers that it's there.

Couldn't remember whether I responded or not, looks like I did!

What is the head count at now Dengel?

P.S. Let me know if you need me to sweep.

I know I am not on that list, but I am on another list for this. Dengle, could you stop by the Holiday Inn so we can follow you out on Sat.?

reedred · « **Reply #6 on:** April 14, 2012, 07:51:52 AM »

It's on my calendar? I guess I'll find out I'm doing this next week when my phone goes off. What an awesome surprise this will be! I can't wait!

It's not really a surprise anymore more now is it?

Will most definitely meet you guys at the Holiday Inn, saturday morning and we can all head out together.

Also, I'm not sure if you've been in communication with solli regarding any plans for the rest of the weekend. But I am hoping to coordinate a group dinner in the area of the Holiday Inn Saturday night after the run.

When are you planning to arrive on Friday? If you arrive before dinner, I would also be more than happy to join you for dinner, or at least recommend some local restaurants for you and Cindy if you prefer a quiet dinner for two.

I'll PM you my cell phone number so we can coordinate once you arrive in NJ.

Shiny you know you are my favorite sweep! If you would be willing to sweep I would be very grateful!

Oh, and I think the head count is somewhere between 20 and 25 right now. I hope we don't lose too many due to the weather, which current has a chance of showers but isn't looking too bad for the afternoon when we run.

Diane,
We probably won't roll in til Around 8:00 PM at the earliest. I have to make a quick appearance at work in the AM.

Looking forward to the first run of the year! I had a great time last year!

ihawk95 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2012, 12:31:27 PM »

Like I posted on fb, if I weren't in Wisconsin on Friday, I'd be there!
Have great time! I hear the turnout will be big this year!

I'm almost hoping the wife's next duty assignment is to Langley. Then we can come out and join in the fun too! Doesn't seem to be much going on out west with kappa's.

dengel · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2012, 03:38:37 PM »

Since we have a few attendees coming in from relatively far distances and staying over Saturday night to attend this run, I would like to also coordinate a group dinner after the run and winery visit are over. Dinner will be about an hour from the winery, in the area of the Holiday Inn Express, Mount Arlington, NJ where we start our Skylands Run.

Please let me know if you would like to join the group for dinner so I can make a reservation. Time and place for dinner will be posted at a later time once I confirm the reservation (but will probably be at the Black River Barn where we have dined the night before the Skylands Run a few years ago.)

GJ lives on the left coast coincidence? Perhaps not.

Don't forget folding chairs or blankets and walkies if you have them!

Trying to get as far away as possible.
