NSX Mt. Greylock Gathering August 21st

[RSO 34]

Peter said we should take the Taconic so that is why I picked 684 to 84. I will double check with him either later tonight or tomorrow when I get back from Court.

 

[TonyD]

Just for reference the distance to Otis from the I-684/I-84 junction is:

85mi via I-84E to SR-8 N

106mi via I-84W to Taconic to Rt 23 E

122mi via I-84W to Taconic to I-90 to SR-8S

 

[RSO 34]

I guess Peter is looking to rack up some frequent driver miles. We will sort it out tomorrow hopefully.

 

[RichH]

Head Count?

I see Bob O., Pete, Larry B, Tony D., Jesse, Bailey, Yong. Anyone else making it out to this event Tomorrow?

 

[TonyD]

Rich,

Miled will also be there.

Hope to see you there - don't let the weather scare you away

 

[Larry Bastanza]

Hey Rich,

If you are there tomorrow you may be alone.

See ya Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Could not resist

[RichH]

I mean Saturday!

 

[RSO 34]

It looks like we will be skipping the Taconic so the best meeting place would be at the rest stop on Route 684 North just passed the Hardscrabble Road Exit. Plan on leaving from there around 7:30am.

 

[TonyD]

Hmmm, that looks like it is just past exit 8 on I-684...

Does this mean the planned route is via I-84 east?

 

[RSO 34]

That is correct. We will be taking 84 East just passed that rest stop.

PLEASE NOTE the change in meeting time to 7:30 at the rest stop.

Rain or shine, we are heading up so if you have not already confirmed (Bailey) please let us know so we don't wait around.

Hey Tony,

I know exactly where this stop is. If you want, we can hook up with Bob in the morning. See you later this evening...

The Weather isnt looking too good at this point but they said it was gonna rain today and its beautiful out. I will give you a call tonight Bob.

 

[RSO 34]

I am heading out to a wake shortly so just leave a message on my cell voicemail as to whether we should wait for you. You can do that in the morning as well if you want to wait until the last minute just get me before we plan on leaving the rest stop at 7:30.

 

[RichH]

Sorry to say we are not going to make it.

I woke up to get ready, I had no power, just got it back. The weather is terrible, heavy rains, hail and thunder storms. Not such great conditions for a joy ride.

I hope you guys are getting better weather down in NY.

From what I have read online the threat should pass this evening, and of course it will be beautiful on Sunday.

We will probably head to head to Kennebunkport, Maine tomorrow.

Clem, Thanks fo the gracious invitation. I look forward to meeting you and seeing the gang soon.

Have a great time and get some pics.

Cheers
RCH

Sorry I missed the drive today. After spending a good part of Friday night/early Saturday morning in the vet emergency room with my dog, we had to bring her down to Manhattan for emergency heart surgery involving a pacemaker. She just came out 30 minutes ago and is doing well but needs to be in intensive care until later on Sunday.

Hopefully the weather held out enough for you guys to enjoy the scenery.

Bob,

My god, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. Karen and I hope for a speedy recovery, please keep us posted.

[Peter Mills]

Thanks to Clem & Lori

Just want to say Thanks to Clem and Lori for a wonderful but damp day. It's Northeast owners like them and others who make this a great group of NSX owners.
Next year...bigger & dryer.

Im sorry to hear about your dog I hope that everything will be fine and your happy family will be back together soon. Im sorry I missed this drive but I stayed up a bit too late and driving in the rain while your half asleep isnt a good idea. Hope to see everyone at nsxpo.

 

[foxy-abby]

I will echo Peter's remarks. Clem and Lori really did a great job. Hopefully next year's weather will cooperate so the drive and turnout will be impoved. Nice to see the guys again.

Miled -- Masha made me drive the whole way home with the radio on (i.e. antenna up). I get in trouble if I say anything, so you have to give her hell for me next time.

[TonyD]

Thanks Clem and Lori for a great day despite the weather...

Some pics of the rainy day which nature ended with bright colors....

Some more pictures here

 

[thedon67]

Nice pictures Tony. Sorry I missed it. Great sunset!

 

[TonyD]

I'm sure the sunset and rainbow pics would have been better if they were not taken through the window at high speed

Actually there were many people swerving off the road with near miss accidents just to stop for the rainbow...

 

[RSO 34]

Great shots Tony! The sunset photo looks fine to me.

 

[TonyD]

At first I was going to say something like "what do you know, you're just an amatuer

". But now I see it looks like we were lucky to survive driving into that inferno

Either way I can only take credit for throwing the camera at Miled and demanding that he take some pictures while I was driving too fast

 

[Larry Bastanza]

Yes the day was wet, but is was a fine gathering and Clem and Lori prepared very well for this event, and were great hosts. Since we did not have the typical scheduled LimeRock undercarriage wash this year Memorial Day weekend, the weather Gods, left that to Clem. I cannot wait until next year to actually see the view from MT. Greylock.

Thanks again, Clem and Lori for a great day!

Regards,
LarryB
