Just curious North East or near Tri- State area BUS OWNERS?

[Seville]

I'm also willing to help out in anyway I can. I've never planned a bus rally either but I'm sure all the fine folks on this board can give us some pointers.
Yeah and I agree with the bus is never finished ! My list just keeps getting longer and longer !

I love it ! I feel like a million bucks when I'm behind the wheel of my bus ! Hitting the highway at a breathtaking 68 MPH

Let's have a contest of who can go up a steep hill the slowest !!

A little further west from most of you posting in this thread - we are outside of Rochester, NY with a 1977 Eagle.

I am willing to help with this. I live 30 minutes north of Lake George in North Creek. I run a whitewater rafting business, so I know all of the campgrounds and other places for visitors to the area. We could even work a raft trip into the itinerary if there is interest, but I know that's a long time away from the buses

There are some great scenic loops through the Adirondacks if we wanted to do a 'ride'. Starting in North Creek, go north on NY28N to Newcomb to Long Lake to Blue Mountain Lake, then south on NY28 to Indian Lake and back to North Creek.

Just another thought...as a resident of North Creek, I can 'rent out' our Ski Bowl Park where they host the annual Bluegrass Festival and/or our Hudson Riverfront Park (right on the river, next to the scenic railroad station). They both have ample parking for buses and covered pavilions.

I'm so glad we are keeping this post going!  Thanks for all the offers of help, we can do this!

Kitt, I travel to Webster NY, just east of Rochester several times a year so I know the area well. Hope you can join us!

Nate, renting the riverfront park sounds interesting, if you have any more info, can you email me at the email in my profile?  Or friend me on FB if you are into that or send me a PM.

I think it would be cool to have a map showing the location of all of us, I will work on that first but I Also think we need to fix a date in June and decide on a place so we can get working on reservations.  I'm thinking the weekend before the 4th of July which would be June 26/27/28/29 using the Friday and Monday makes it a nice long weekend.

I'd like at least electric... We can deal with no water or sewer (worste case scenario lol).. And glad to see another western New Yorker!

Hi Nate, I usually head up to Americade in Lake George every first week in June , maybe I can head up there a see your place. The whole area is really nice . I remember some long up hills once you pass exit 21 Lake Geo.  on the North way.
End of June sounds pretty good to me too.  Nel

I think we would all agree that we need at least electric hookup, I will make that essential in my search for places. I will post some suggestions soon, we need to nail down the place and date by the end of. January.

We are also so glad this post was started .. Will help if needed any dates work for us ... Hope everyone had a great Christmas ... I took the ole girl (4106 that is) for a spin on Friday ... Just because I could haha !!! It was just as awesome as that first nice ride out on the harley like that first warm spring day uno ? Can't wait to meet everyone and see your buses!

Johnjem what town are you in ? I am also 30 min from beach...  I am in gonic right next to rochester and dover

[Newbob]

Well, I am in Southern Maine - and I just have a little bitty Bluebird Transit conversion I use for commercial use but it would be cool to meet some of you folks and get some insight. I'm sure it won't be too long before I put my big boy pants on a tackle a bigger rig to travel the country in with the wife and son :-) I've got a lotta' bus learnin' to do before then    I did all the conversion work on the BB myself and, of course, it's never really "done".

Not sure about the numbers we're talking here but one thing I have always thought would be cool is to organize groups into "wagon circles" or something similar and give them a name, number, color or something to reference them by, so its easy to identify where you are at. - for example "nice to meet you Nate, stop by and see me at "blue 13" (or "whiskey 5", "paris 9" etc.)  if you get a chance. Thant beats - "I'm over in the first section to the left near the bathrooms to the left of the pond between the row of MCI's and the volkswagon bus, next to the guy with the tequila fountain".

Hmmmm, Tequila Fountain..............maybe rum punch......... What? - anyway, nice talking to you guys!
