I'll do some recon and see if theres any good spots in the park.

*I would also like to bring up the Ross Dock in Fort Lee. This is a nice spot right on the Hudson underneath the GWB. Plenty of open picnic space and brand new restrooom facilities. The downside is that they charge 5$ a car during the summer but the last time I went there we had the whole place to ourselves. There is also a few other picnic areas along the Henry Hudson Drive...

Seeing as I live in Fort Lee, works for me. Havent been here long so I dont know where it is, but that really doesnt matter. I'm down for either day. :)

I picked Fort Lee since im trying to be considerate with peoples driving distances as well as locate a suitable place for a meet. I think that's how we can get the most people to come. I like Bear moutain too but it makes about a 2 hour drive for those in central jersey and out on long island. I thought our meet at the Palisades was fairly central and Fort Lee is about 20 mins from there.

What do you guys think?

[Jersey Si]

So, I just called up Palisades Interstate. The park is open from dawn to dusk and there is a 5$ parking fee. However the good news is that it's good for any of the other parks along the Insterstate for the rest of the day. So if it gets too packed or we don't like we can move to another one.

Also, talk about great pics with all our Hondas lined up with the GWB and Manhattan as the backdrop.
