6SpeedOnline Hawk’s Nest Porsche Meet – Sunday, August 1, 2004



MARK YOUR CALENDERS!!



After the GIANT success of the Bannerman Castle – Hooter’s Meet in April, despite the rainy weather, your illustrious organizers, Michele and I, decided to try and out-do ourselves. We believe this meet’s venue will do just that!



So, what do we have planned? Fabulous, fabulous and more fabulous driving!!



ITINERARY



8:00 AM - 9:00 AM



Our meet will assemble at High Point State Park. For those that don’t know, this is the highest elevation in New Jersey and it is located at the highest latitude in the State as well. Here is a link to the park for those that like some background information:

The start of the Meet will be at the parking lot at the base of the monument.



Directions to get there:



From the South:

Follow Route 23 North to High Point State Park and turn right into park at the top of the mountain. Follow signs to the monument.



From the North:

Follow Route 84 to Exit 1 in New York State. Follow signs for Route 23 South. Follow Route 23 South to High Point State Park and turn left into park at the top of mountain.



10:00 AM



From the Park we will make our way to what is called the Hawk’s Nest. This stretch of road is where numerous vehicle-related television commercials (such as for BMW) were filmed. These are the kind of roads that were made specifically for our cars!







Our drive will bring us through some very scenic areas of New York State along the northern part of the Delaware River. There is an interesting mix of curved, straight, and scenic roadways.



The drive will return southward near the banks of Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania.

Most of the roads we will be driving on are single lane with many curves. After passing the lake, we will follow Route 84 for approximately 10-15 miles before we exit to arrive at Laurel Ridge Restaurant. This should allow some of us to "stretch our legs" as the saying goes.......



2:00 PM



We will stop for a mid-afternoon meal at the Laurel Ridge Restaurant near the end of the route.







Their mission statement:

Fine food, atmosphere and excellent service are the three most important aspects of a great restaurant. At Laurel Ridge, we will consistently impress you with our spectacular fare and top notch service, as well as make your family feel like a part of our "family." Our staff will always go the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. Let us make your affair a memory to last a lifetime.



We will have the entire restaurant to ourselves with a cash bar and appetizers followed by dinner in the dining room.



The restaurant is located just off Route 84 in Pennsylvania making it easy for the northerners to continue home after eating. The southerners will continue south a little further and culminate in Shroudsburg, PA at Route 80.



WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING!
  • $10.00/car High Point State Park entry fee
  • $44.00/person dinner fee which includes appetizers, dinner, tax and gratuity. THIS IS PAYABLE IN CASH IN ADVANCE AT THE TIME YOU ARRIVE AT THE PARK!!
  • FRS Radio
  • A FULL TANK OF FUEL!

Michele, not to detract from the Bannerman's run, but this one was absolutely awesome. I had a great time!

Gil, I'm so glad you enjoyed the day. When I first drove those roads with Ken, I was blown away. I was hoping everyone would love it as much as I did
Bannerman was a great route but this one... INSANE!
