Newport, RI Run July 14th

I am organizing a little run to newport with a BBQ at the end. Delaware, NJ, NH, MA, RI, CT, and NY are all represented in this group. We made this same run last year and it was a blast. The final spot is Fort Adams in Newport and we will be BBQing there.

well that is still in discussion as I like to be accomidating to the area where the largest number of people will come from. Last year I met one group of cars at the Mcdonalds on 128/95 south just after the Mass pike exit. We then travelled down to one of the other owners factory/warehouse in assonet where we met the rest of the MA and (some RI) crew and drove down from there...

here is us taking some pictures of the cars...

Add to the list today... Diablo, Esprit V8 TT

 

Awesome, I love that car. I know everyone my age had at least one poster of that in there room growing up

 

For those coming from the Boston area...
We have multiple meeting points set up, times are still a little sketch right now but I think the first meet point is at 10am on 128 south, we will meet at the McDonalds Rest stop just after the mass pike exit. We will leave by 10:30.

at 11 we will meet up with another group on 24 south at the Burger King rest stop on 24south, we will leave there I think by 11:30

When going in to Newport we are going to avoid down town newport. That is a mess we dont want to be in.

Also... Please see list below, bring what you can, there are more people then initially anticipated for so it would be appreciated for everyone to bring something

Grill-I got this but could use a second portable camping grill
Steak tips-I got this
Chicken- I got this
Ribs(silk32)
Hamburgers(including buns and cheese)
hotdogs(including buns)
Shrimp(Scruffyone)
Salad(potato, pasta, greens, etc)

We have about a week to go; I finally have all the hook up points set. There will be 2 in MA, and 1 in CT. SLKRoy will be the contact person for the CT group, if anyone needs his email address or cell phone, please contact me, my email is Northeastamg at yahoo dot com.

Directions to each check point(Must enter your starting point);

Massachusetts folks;

1st meeting spot 10am
Newton McDonalds rest stop on 128/95 south. This stop is right after the masspike exits.

This group will be leaving by 10:30, I am leading this group and I will have the grills as well as chicken and steak tips and many of the cooking utensils. Let me know if your coming in this group.
Directions to this checkpoint

2nd meeting spot 11am
Middleboro Burger King(I think) 24 south(between 495N/S on ramps)

As the first group arrives this group should be getting ready to jet. This group will have folks from RI, southern MA, and some folks from CT. I would urge folks who are coming up on Friday for the meet to come to this checkpoint, for the fun of the caravan. It in itself is a good time. Hopefully there are some extra radios for use, they are an absolute necessity when coming to a GTG
Directions to this checkpoint

All points Souh or West of RI(NY, NJ, CT, etc etc.)
Milford, CT McDonalds rest stop 10:45a and head out by 11:30***8230;
This is just after exit 40 on 95 North

With some rough estimates this is a little over 100 miles from Ft. Adams in RI. I would bet it takes maybe around an hour and a half to get there***8230; barring any major traffic. Please contact me, and I will put you through to the person in charge; SLKRoy for those of you who know him on the forums;
Directions to this Checkpoint

Fort Adams(the meeting place)This is the final stop for the day. I estimate both groups to arrive around similar times; between 12:30 and 1pm. If you believe that Caravanning might just not be for you, then by all means please come and meet us here.
Directions to Ft. Adams

 

I think we have plenty of beer and soda coming and I think water would be good. I will go through my list of who is bringing what and I will post back for sure, but maybe a whole bunch of bottles of water(like the 24pack you buy from costco) on ice would be good...

I may bring a pop tent for those who get too hot
