Here’s my proposed location , about 15 miles North of I84

We can grab the South end of the parking lot to distance

There’s a dunkin just North in Milbrook so I might stop there for the bucket of coffee.

Tentative start 0900 until 1100 or so

The big question is which Volvo do I take :shock:
CT citizens are allowed per NY State. Not sure what CT's rules are though.

We won’t be gathered long enough to violate any COVID rules and we will be outside of course

It’s the Lyme disease we worry about with CT

(Most of this is just making fun of Dirk)

I'm guessing I just need to get on the Taconic Parkway and head south? Do we have an exit number or something? I can drive from here to Miami, no directions, no problem, but targeting anything in between can be an issue.

I don't know the exit number, but when you come from the north it's just a few minutes after the exit for Rt. 55, should be very easy to find.

Hi Bart, this is not an Interstate Truckstop by any means. But instead it is a quaint little rest area on one of the most beautiful parkways in southern NY state.
Once you make your way over here :D I am sure that you will agree that Steve choose one of the finest places you can think of.

Well I was kidding of course....

But couldn't you find a nice lake with a picnic area?

I can poke fun because I can't get there!
