great place. Some of you guys know your way around there, I guess. I don't get out of city much, this will be a great opportunity to see some good outdoors & nice spots.

We are thinking toys for tots, but don't forget "feed the guys" Has anyone got a good eatery they know around there, or better bring your own food?
I will be following jon along the way meet with cacher.
I was hoping it would be more than just two of us from this end. If anyone wants to show up, just be at where jon mapped out for you above.

at the other site, my suggestion was to pm members who had their location specified as anywhere near tristate area.. I am not sure if that would make any difference.

The Depot.

Glad I got a PM, almost forgot. Having tooth problems. Root Canal went bad and I had it pulled on Monday. So thick juicey steaks are out for me.

Tomorrow forcast is . . . Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s. Northwest winds around 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

What's the head count? If you think we will overwhelm the Depot kitchen if there is a lot of us, we can always eat at Charlie Brown's in Fishkill by I-84 & Rte 9. I eat there all the time. The food on most days is good.

with spouses as a rough estimate I'd say 10-11,not sure though ??? could be less or more, as long as I can get back to the/any highway easily I'm good,matter of fact I believe 84 goes right to MA

they got any italian restaurants there? I am going to pack a sandwich just in case.
it looks windy, but it should be OK since it will be partly cloudy, headcount looks like total 7 of us, if all couples, 14, give or take 2, in case the PMs I sent from jeepprojects stirs up anyone, someone else might show up, but I doubt it because I was too late

i am signing off until tomorrow, see ya.

Glad you guys had a good day.

Wish I could of gone, but for some reason my sinus are acting up. And my sinuses always made the right side of my jaw hurt. Might stem from having a broken jaw in my youth. But this time, with my jaw was still sore from the two pullings, I was seeing stars this morning.

I'm a lot better now. Sinus headache is gone and Advil seems to holding its own.

OK got to go and put some food in my stomach before I keel over of starvation.

Jaw problems are the worse, they effect ear, tooth, even speech & breathing problems. Good luck.

Don't worry, we got you covered:

This is you, I believe:

I just noticed, when I looked at your picasa, you did the same thing

Heh, great minds think alike! :lol:

Funniest thing was having the tour bus stuck behind us in Cold Spring when we all jumped out to take pictures! :lol:

Also, how'd you guys like the view of the river when we went up toward the bridge and through the tunnel?
