I'll be coming in on Sat. and looking to shoot just about anything with those who are coming in on Sat. Do we have an idea of those planning to arrive the day before the official date (June 5)?

I'll be there sometime that evening. I have an event to shoot Saturday morning/early afternoon, and I'll leave right after that. I'll probably be just in time for the dinner at TGIF though.

I'll be driving up early Sunday morning. My wife's a teacher and we're not sure if she's going to have a job in the fall, so the extra expense of hotel and annual TGIFridays pigout is off for me this time around.

Reminds me... did you dig out the directions to this place for us out-of-towners who have NOT the faintest where this is located.

What sort of directions do you want? If you have a GPS, punch in N41 20.106 W76 18.080 for the Visitor Center (Rickett's Glen Hotel is N41 17.507 W76 17.565). You can also simply Google those coordinates for a map...

I'm guessing that was a smart-ass remark, in case he needs to break into my car again since I managed to lock the keys in it a few years ago :)

Sorry gang, my "hopefully maybe" status has been downgraded to "not gonna be able to make it." Going to miss seeing everyone again this year - have a great time!

OOPs... sorry about that. I was referring to the TGIF location you mentioned earlier. I most certainly hope I do find my way to the Ricketts Glen Hotel, otherwise I will have to sleep in my car. :O)

Is it this place: T.G.I. Friday's
880 Kidder Street
Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702-6913, United States

Ahhh... TGIF! I had posted the address earlier in this thread... I'm a strictly GPS guy, so I just punch that info in, and off I go. If you need specific directions, maybe someone more local can give you some guidance... or I could simply pick you up at the hotel as I swing through!

I may have few more photographers joining us. So I'll bring some extra hamburgers/hot dogs/misc stuff to grill.

Alan: should some of us meet at the bottom so we could leave some cars there?
05/31/2011 09:20:38 AM · #64
Definitely a good idea, as always... if there are a few people willing to meet up at the bottom and ferry a few to the top, maybe those people could plan on meeting down there no later than 9:30...?

Those bringing stuff for the picnic should probably meet at the bottom and consolidate all the items into a few cars. We don't want to get done hiking and find out that all the food's back up at the top.

After several years, the GTG leader should have had the chair lifts and snack bar installed by now.
05/31/2011 11:22:25 AM · #67
Well, sadly, with all the rain we've been having, that construction has fallen behind. On the plus side, all the rain we've been having should keep the waterfalls flowing!

Could we have a couple volunteers to leave a couple cars at the bottom (and someone to bring those people to the top by 10:00)? I'd like to head straight to the top, just so I can keep tabs on who has arrived, etc., since I'm the alleged "leader." Anyone who wants my cell phone number to keep in touch, please send me a PM. Muchos gracies!

I am depressed about it...but I will be unable to make the TGI Friday's dinner this year. It was a neat experience for me last year being the one that unofficially discovered the geocache hidden in the fence, but I have to shoot a wedding that day. I will be there early in the am.

Is anyone meeting for breakfast? Was it last year a few of us met down the road for pancakes?

I'll try to be there for breakfast. With a 3 hour drive, it'll depend on how early I can drag my butt out of bed.
06/01/2011 10:06:01 PM · #71
Yes! I like the breakfast idea... I'm assuming you're talking about the trail's end place just down the road? That would be great. I have a friend who will likely join me, too. What time are you guys thinking? Would 8:30 be reasonable...?

8:30 should be fine for me.
06/01/2011 10:27:06 PM · #73
I might be able to join in. Won't know until the weekend, though.

Cool! Bring the Seuss hat.

Just kidding... I think...

Just order green eggs and ham at Trail's End. "Funny... they weren't that color last month..."
