Glenn

By Glenn Guinto (Glenn) on Monday, August 27, 2001 - 09:17 am: Edit

BTW, I have a 3'x5' Land Rover banner that might be useful. I bought the darn thing from ebay and up to this date am wondering why I did. I guess we could use it. I'll bring the damn thing anyway.

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Monday, August 27, 2001 - 03:17 pm: Edit

Glenn,
Earlier you mentioned meeting at the rest area south of 13A. "Between 11 and 12, you thought"...this would be better for me, exit 16 would put me in the wrong direction. You and John could meet me there on your way, say 9:10-9:15?
Let me know if this works for you.
Carl

By Glenn Guinto (Glenn) on Tuesday, August 28, 2001 - 10:06 am: Edit

Carl and John, I sent you guys an email. Later!

Glenn

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Wednesday, August 29, 2001 - 04:42 am: Edit

I will take the liberty of adding Larry Solomayer to this list, since he will be away till the 4th. I don't know how many people / cars.

Dean

By Larry Solomayer on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 02:25 am: Edit

Ok I'm back from traveling the wilds of Montana.
1 One maybe two people
2 one stock 1996 DI
3 Stop & Shop on Easton Ave
4 Motorola talk about
5 Try to keep scratches to minimum
I will try to bring pruners to eliminate the pin stripers.

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 05:52 am: Edit

Glen,John...all,
Glen, I responded to you and John off line after your email but didn't get a responce. Just to conferm...we are meeting on the turnpike rest area near exit 11 or 12 at 9:00-9:30.

Dean,
Where and what time should we hook up with the rest of you?
Carl

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 06:06 am: Edit

Carl and all,

There are a lot of details in the other thread concerning when and where to meet up. Here is the clipet of info:

Lets plan for the following:

Stop and Shop, Easton Ave. @ 9am
Turnpike service are between 9 and 8A: 9.30am
Turnpike service are between 7A and 7: 10am
206/70 10.30am
206/Carranza Road 10.40am

These are very optimistic times, but I will definitely NOT leave or pass any of these places earlier than these times.

It would be best if everyone can let us all know which place you want to meet up, then we will wait for you if you are late (and you will also know if we are late too).

Carl - for you its best I guess to meet us at the service area between 9 and 8A going south, at about 9.30 am. Please confirm this, then I will wait for you till you arrive (within reason!)

Everyone should expect delays on the turnpike, and maybe try to get there a little earlier.

Call me on (732) 610 9630 (cell phone) in case of heavy delays. Or CB channel 33.

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 07:22 am: Edit

Dean,
9:30 sound fine with me. I'm still waiting to hear from John and Glen...
Carl

By Kyle Beckman on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 10:24 am: Edit

1. One, maybe two people.
2. 2000 Disco II
3. Easton Ave Stop&Shop
4. No CB, no Motorola.
5. Keep it to a minimum

Kyle

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 01:43 pm: Edit

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time, due to other commitments. Maybe on the next run.......... Make sure you take lots of photos and send them to Ho...

Axel

By Dominik Chrzan (Dominik) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 03:12 pm: Edit

1. one person.
2. 97 disco se (rioja red).
3. 206/70 @ 10:30am.
4. motorola talkabout.
5. scratches; yes please.

By Glenn Guinto - glenn on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 03:57 pm: Edit

Carl,

Rest area between 12 and 11 it is... I'll be there around 9:15 -ish. John, please confirm. Thanks!

Glenn

P.S. Should we pack lunch?

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 - 04:36 am: Edit

Glenn,
Will 9:15 give us time to meet Dean and the boys at 9:30 @ exit 8a-9 (rest area?) I heard from John, he was concerned about this. I told him we could meet sooner. John????

Dominik, did I once read that you are in NY? If so, feel free to meet John, Glenn and myself on the way down. (see above for details)

Feel free to contact me if needed.
Cell 917 482 6166

Bring a lunch!

By Glenn Guinto (Glenn) on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 - 05:26 am: Edit

Yep, that'll be cutting it a little too short. How about 8:45 - 9:00? That should be okay and give us enough lead time. As long as everything is okay, I'll be there that time. Please remember to print the "offline" emails with our cell phone numbers just in case...

3 days and counting down....

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 - 05:37 am: Edit

Glenn,
I have your number, not John's....I'm sure we'll hear from him soon.
8:45!! I'm there! Damn, no drinking Friday night...that's OK it'll be worth it!
Carl

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 01:54 am: Edit

Guys,

I will try to post a short summary of where the trail goes, and what to see, a little later, so check back afternoon. If not, I'll print a few out tonight.

My prayers for heavy rain / tropical storms didn't come about, so there may not be much in the way of mud, so the trail will be mainly sandy roads. There will be at least one 'puddle' that is too big to run, although I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong! (I will wade through again, just to show how deep).

I'll bring the video camera for fun, and will post the results on discoweb soon after.

Check back later,

Dean

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 08:01 am: Edit

I just want to do a final head count, because I would rather not have to contact the park super (if over 20).

We have:

Dean + Debs, Stop&Shop, '01 D2 Black
Carl+1, 9-8A turnpike, '99 D2
John+3, 9-8A turnpike, '88 RR
Kent, Rt 206 / Rt 70, '99D2
Glenn+2, 9-8A turnpike, '99 D2 w/banner (hope to see it!)
Larry, Stop&Shop, '96 D1
Kyle B, Stop&Shop, '00 D2
Dom C Rt 206 / Rt 70, '97 D1
Steve+6 7-7A turnpike Isuzu Trooper

That makes 22, which we might be able to scrape by on with a bit of luck.

Please let me know ASAP if there are any changes.

See y'all tomorrow!
Drive safely,
Dean

Ps which CB channel does the motorolla work on?

By John C. on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 03:15 pm: Edit

Last min update:

My wife and daughters will not be going so you can remove 3 bodies from the list.

Also, I went to our NJ office (Exit 8A) and noticed that there is no rest area on the South side of the Tpke. Am I missing something here? I will meet Glenn and Carl at rest area between Exit 11 and 12. FYI, it took me 50 mins to get to Exit 11 from Tappan and 20 mins to get to exit 8A (driving 60-65 mph). So Glen and Carl I guess 9:00 would be fine (Exit 11 & 12 rest area).

See you tomorrow.

John
CB - Channel 33

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 04:02 pm: Edit

Oops. Sorry - then lets use the service area between 7 and 7A, or whatever comes first after exit 9 headed south. Shouldn't be a problem. I'll go to all areas between 9 and 7 south anyway.

Dean

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 04:22 pm: Edit

Carl - LOL!
Shouldn't be a problem finding you in the green dragon!

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Friday, September 07, 2001 - 04:49 pm: Edit

There are two rest areas between 9 and 7:

http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/service.htm

Alexander Hamilton (located at Milemarker E111.6 – between Interchanges 16E and 15E)
Thomas Edison (located at Milemarker 92.9 – between Interchanges 12 and 11)
Molly Pitcher (located at Milemarker 71.7 – between Interchanges 8A and 8)
Richard Stockton (located at Milemarker 58.7 – between Interchanges 7 A and 7)
Walt Whitman (located at Milemarker 30.2 – between Interchanges 4 and 3)
Clara Barton (located at Milemarker 5.4 – between Interchanges 2 and 1)

These are all southbound.

So anyone meeting on the turnpike lets get to Molly Pitcher between 8A and 8, and forget about the 7A-7 area. Time about 9.30 to 9.45.

Remember there may be heavy traffic. I have been caught on saturday mornings EVERY TIME so far.

Have a nice evening,
Dean

By Larry Solomayer on Monday, September 10, 2001 - 02:47 am: Edit

Hats off to Dean for putting together a fantastic day of offroading. Dean, Carl, Kent, Glenn, Kyle, Dominick it was great meeting all of you we have to do it again. Glenn and Dominick thanks for showing us all what a stock D1 can do.

BTW I spent three hours cleaning the truck yesterday and not a scratch remained.

Larry

By Kentwestbrook on Monday, September 10, 2001 - 08:54 am: Edit

I agree, hats off to Dean for his organizational and mapreading skills. And I enjoyed meeting everybody; hope we can do it again.

I spent a couple of hours cleaning yesterday myself, including wet vacuuming my wet carpets, but it wasn't too bad. Haven't done any waxing or buffing yet to take on the scratches.

BTW, Glenn, about an hour after you left, Dominick noticed your wife's Navy baseball cap bouncing around on my bumper. If she wants it back let me know and I'll send it to you.

Kent

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Monday, September 24, 2001 - 06:19 am: Edit

Hello all,
I just sent Ho a pile of photos from the Barrons...I doubt he can post them all so if any one wants a set I can send them to you personaly. I have reduced the size of the images to post on the web, but if you see one you want printed, let me know and I'll send the full size image. The file size of the reduced images compressed are about 5.4MB keep that in mind if you want them all. I think there are some good shots, and I hope you enjoy them.
I'm sure Ho will let us know when he has had a chance to post them.

Later
Carl

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Monday, September 24, 2001 - 07:23 am: Edit

Dean and Glen,
Did you guys get the photos I sent you?

Carl

By Glenn Guinto (Glenn) on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 07:39 am: Edit

Thanks Carl! I did get them. I'm glad to hear that you and your family are fine. I read your posts on the BB about the WTC incident and it made us a bit concerned. About the barrens, yeah we should definitely head back there soon! Although, I really want to see that place where Axel and them other guys go to... (that "hilly" part - check the other p-barrens pics).

Dean - how's about planning another one....

Axel - JohnC told me that the hilly place in the barrens is a private property and that you or somebody from discoweb knows the owner.(?) Can you join us next time around and possibly go there? Thanks!

By John Cinquegrana (John_C) on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 09:04 am: Edit

Hey Glenn, I'm actually planning a trip up North (not too far up north). How do you guys feel like "stepping-up" the pace a bit? The trees are starting to change colors up in Sullivan County and it would be a pretty view from one of the mountains. The place I have in mind has some nice hill climbs, nothing too difficult and it even has a few sand pits.

I'll email you with more details.

Later

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 10:29 am: Edit

John, Glenn..
I could do with a bit of a trip. Please keep me posted.

Carl

By Kent Westbrook on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 06:04 pm: Edit

Carl,

Nice pictures. Might you be able to send me one or two, if I told you which ones?

BTW, happy to hear you're OK after all the WTC stuff. Hope thing are getting somewhat back to normal.

I'd also be game for another trip.

Kent

By Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) on Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 04:02 am: Edit

Kent, All,
Good to hear from you guy's (here and off line) My wife and most friend are fine, thanks. Life is slowly returning to normal. The national guard has finaly left the area, but security is at an all time high. I am checked by six people before entering my work, (that's with electronic pass entry only).
Must say it was a good but erie feeling to see Humvees on Wall st. (wish they were Rovers)

Anyway, Kent I'd be happy to send you some photos, just give me the photo number and your email address.

Glenn the ones I sent you are the "small, for the web set" If there are ones that you want for printing let me know and I'll send the larger files.

Hope to drive with you guy's soon
Carl

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 03:21 pm: Edit

Glenn:

The hilly part really isn't that hilly, and two of the areas we used to go to have been shut down. The private area is also up in the air, as the owner is having some problems with the state.

I'm not opposed to taking a run in the Barrens one weekend, I just don't want anyone to get all exited about an area that may turn out to be a disappointment.

Axel

By Glenn Guinto (Glenn) on Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 03:39 pm: Edit

Axel,

Thanks for the info man! That's too bad they've been closing all these trails. Anyway, It'd be great if you could join us next time. It's nice to go wheelin and get "real world" advice from one of the gurus of Discoweb!

-glenn

BTW, my service advisor from LR Parsippany (whom I introduced to Discoweb) claims that he remembers working on your truck one time. Is that were you got your truck?
