North central PA winter meet, 2013

Any interest this year?

Here's a link to the snowmobile trail map. 2A is the hill of my driveway, and part of 2, towards the snowmobile club from 2A, is part of my driveway too.

Nearby ski area, not a big hill, but one steep slop anyway

Hmm.. 4 1/2 hour drive almost seems worth it to tackle your driveway.

I would drive the 4 1/2 hours to give it a shot. It's the 16 hour drive that stops me...

What time frame are you looking at? I'll have to put in a pass or leave, but it should be doable.

Now that I have a job and some money again, I might be able to make one this year. Though I doubt my craigslist $80 used michelin tires will claw up your driveway this year!

What was the name of that little hotel I stayed at last time Dixie?

[dixiedawg]

Ok folks, throw some dates out there. I can do any weekend. Way too short notice, and might not be snow, but should be some, I could do either weekend around Christmas too. I think we might have picked a holiday weekend before. I don't get Presidents day as a holiday, but some do if that helps to make a long weekend.

Todd, last time you stayed at the Sweden Valley Motel, they changed the name, and now are part of the Sweden Valley Inn, which also has decent food, anyway this is the same place.

Still waiting on some potential dates. What do you think about the President's Day weekend? I don;t get the holiday off, but will be there on the weekend, and folks who do get the day off will have an extra day.

[dixiedawg]

I'll be home next week for Christmas, all week. Looks like we'll have a white Christmas too. Snow coming in Friday through Sunday, maybe see a little sun Monday, then more snow.

I might be willing to make the 5 1/2 hour trip.

What do you guys do for the weekend?
Are the ladies welcomed?

[dixiedawg]

Ladies are always welcome at my place. My wife will be there.

What we did last time was meet for an early lunch/brunch/late breakfast on Saturday. Then we drove up my hill, and took photos in the snow of our Patriots. By then it was dark, and a couple folks hung out with us for a couple drinks, then left for their cabins. I think they got together at the cabins for a few more drinks and some cards in the evening.

I'm pretty open for anything.

I'd love someone to bring a sled (snowmobile) and run the trail. And there is a ski area nearby too. And the PA grand Canyon is nearby, but not a lot to do there in winter. In summer you can fish the creek or raft or canoe the creek, or hike the trails, etc.

I do have a fire pit out back, for a campfire, but don't use it much in winter. I also have a pistol range in the back yard.

[dixiedawg]

Last time I only had my video camera, but if we had a couple cams we could set them up at different places going up the hill to get videos.

I bet a couple people could share a cabin too, lowering costs.
