I know it was attempted to have a meet and greet last year in the Lake George area by another member but that pretty much fell through due to prices and vacation timing and whatever else that was going on.
I am throwing out an idea. Let me know what you think. I want to hit Letchworth State Park this summer and probably do it a few times because of my river running and other things/people.
Heres some info on this park/area..Lets start with general information.
Admission to the park for the day is $6 per car. Hours 6am-11pm. Camping is available on weekends for $25 a night, weekdays at $22. Cabin rentals also available along with rental cottages.
Pool fees 12 and over $2; 11 and under $1.
Location: Along the Genesee River, 35 miles south of Rochester. Exit 7 Interstate 390.
Attractions: Hiking, swimming, whitewater, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides (weekends), Picnic areas, nature trails, waterfalls (3), biking, fishing, kayaking, a museum, bird watching, (I hear theres a lot of deer there too.), volleyball, playgrounds.. Surely we can find SOMETHING to do!

Description:
Letchworth State Park, renowned as the "Grand Canyon of the East," is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge, over three major waterfalls, between cliffs as high as 600 feet in some places. The river's cliffs are surrounded by lush forests. Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails (hiking past numerous scenic views and waterfalls). Trails are also available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Letchworth offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks and tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, hot air ballooning, and two pools for swimming. Winter they also have horse drawn carriage rides but I'm not going in the winter, thats just an FYI.
I think I covered whats available. My plan is to camp the weekend but you do have other options available. Come for the day or stay for the weekend or week with family and friends. I was thinking we can meet at a picnic area. I'm open for ideas any of you may have.
Every one loves food.. we can have a food thing/picnic. The Campsites have Electricity and so does my camper if we need it for cooking purposes.
I will also have my inflatable raft/kayak but only holds 2. or 2 adults 1 small child (up to 650lbs). I can offer a ride in the gorge for those interested or bring your own raft/kayak/canoe and go as a group thing. They also have group rafting available in guided tours for about $30pp.
See above for other activities. Bring a volleyball for added laughter.
For the adventure impaired people, we can just sit around the picnic area and crack jokes, share stories, ect. lol The trails are handicapped accessible.
It seems the table is wide open for ideas, dates.. try to avoid holidays if possible. I was thinking around July 10th weekend. I have every weekend available except Aug 22-Aug 30. I will be in SC. OH and June 10th.. camping in Adirondacks.
I was told that the campsites fill up fast, the sooner the better for all that want to attend that plan on camping.
I will do my best to keep this post active and draw people in. :naughty:
