yeah, i'm making a second thread from the catskills in summer thread. i still want to do a catskills meet this summer. in addition, how about an adirondacks meet in october?

my place is free for all. we've got 4 bedrooms, 2 big couches, a pull out couch in one of the bedrooms, and i think 5 beds between the bedrooms. plenty of room for all. pretty much all you would pay for is gas, food, and drinks.

my place is in speculator, ny, which is an hour from amsterdam, 1.5 hrs from albany, 1.5 hrs from lake placid, just over an hour from utica, 4.5-5 hrs from providence.

and if you feel weird about staying at a semi-strangers house, then there are plenty of hotels in the area, but they may be booked due to foliage season.

First of all, thanks for offering up your house!

I think we'd totally be down for this. I love foliage season!

Im up for it!

sweet.

if the date pans out... id be down.

+1(.5?)

we're in

cool. i'm running dates by my folks. right now i'm either looking at the last weekend in september or the third weekend in october.

Hello there, I'm new on this forum and stumbled upon this thread. I've been looking to meet fellow photographers and go shoot in nature. The Adirondacks sounds great. Because of family situation (we have a baby), it's quite unpredictable but I'd definitely be up for it. I'm located in Westchester, NY, could probably even drive somebody up there.

it's really not that far from westchester. i'd guess 3-3.5 hours.

Hey - Id be down if my G.f can come =D
my b-day is in mid oct too so im sure ill have some new gear to play with!

yeah, i don't care, just don't keep everyone awake....

Update?

this is still on. no idea what dates yet. as soon as i know, i'll post. should be mid-october or so.

Still totally looking forward to this!! Any news on dates yet?

-K

october 17-19. i will be leaving my house around 7-9 in the morning so i'll be up there around noon time Friday.

feel free to come up anytime after that. i'll be cooking spaghetti and meatballs friday night (hey it's simple and easy to make for many much).

the house is located on elm lake road, speculator, ny. there aren't any house numbers, but it's pretty easy to get to. it's the 5th house on the road. the driveway is directly across from a "end school zone" sign. the house is a tan cape between two log cabins. if you go by wilbur lane, you've gone to far. once i have definite yeses, i'll pm you my phone number.

^Dope, we'll mark our calander.

nice, calendar marked.

only like a 4.5 hour drive.

I'd be down for something like this, I'll let you know closer to the actual date

Looks like an awesome place. 5.5 hrs, hm...

5.5 hrs is not too bad.

Not it isn't. I really want to go, but I'll wait till my semester starts before I decide

Awesome! Can't wait

Are there any grocery stores nearby so we can get other things to cook at the house? Is there a grill there?

-K

there's a grocery store just down the road from the house. it's cheaper to buy groceries on the way up than in town. there's a hannifords and super wal-fart on the way. there's a couple of bars/restaurants in town. there's a gas station, a couple of stores, a bank, and that's about it. we do have a grill, yes.

I really really hope this works for us as well. Or maybe even just me.

plenty of room for the family. we've got a pack n play up there, so no real need to bring a crib.

but is it in walking distance?

5 minute crawl

19th to the 29th of Sept.

He did say he's a year behind.....

man i love it up here.

can't wait to actually spend a ton of time up here in a week.

I wanna go... These California people don't get together for **** unless it's a car show...

we've got 4 bedrooms, a pull out couch and king sized bed in one (two twins that could be pulled apart if needed), a king sized bed in the master, a queen in one, and a double and twin and twin mattress in the fourth. in addition, we've got two air mattresses and two couches, and plenty of floor space. i don't care where i sleep, so i'm probably going to take one of the couches.

there should be room for everyone without much/any issue.

We also have a full-size aerobed that we can bring along just in case it's needed. It may be unlikely that we'll need it, but I just thought I'd at least throw the offer out there.

-K

you might want to just in case...

Will do!

We've also got a 6-person tent...

-K

hmmm, this could be quite tempting.

about that i'll be needing a vacation. put me down as a 75% tentative maybe...

and if i go, it'd just be myself and i can sleep most anywhere as long as there are no cats. crazy allergic to those furballs.

no cats. we're all allergic.

i'm going to make a new sign-up thread.

So since I'm lazy and don't want to read through the whole thing, someone want to update me on the situation? We still doing this?
