tony357 386 Posted August 3, 2012 I like the hawkins bridge run usualy do 3 hour run but if you have the time do the 5 hour run.. http://www.mickscanoerental.com/trail.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDon 3 Posted August 3, 2012 The ski resourts in the Poconos have summertime activities like horseback riding, biking, pool, etc. Google Pocono resourts and browse the various sights. Better get moving if you are planning for this weekend. For shopping I recommend Lambertville, NJ and the town in PA just across the river. When you are done there, take a 10-min drive into PA up to Peddlers village for more shopping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hielo 0 Posted August 4, 2012 If I recall correctly, the Milford Plaza was known not only for its Hip-Hooray, but also for its Ballyhoo. I always preferred its Ballyhoo. To the OP: If you're up for a drive and you're talking a Friday night through Sunday night adventure, stay near Harpers Ferry, WV and hit Shenandoah NP while you're down there. Lots of horseback riding, whitewater rafting, canoeing, and eclectic shopping. If you're not on a budget, take a quick flight to Casablanca, Morocco.

It was up to you, but you should have gone to the Nevele. Take a look at the Peach Grove Inn in Warwick, NY. Never stayed there myself, but one of my wife's frineds raves about it. I'm sure there's horseback riding nearby and you won't be far from Greenwood Lake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babyface Finster 45 Posted August 4, 2012 You know, if you don't mind driving as far as New Paltz, the Mohonk Mountain House is supposed to be top notch. My in-laws love the place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedicYeti 96 Posted August 4, 2012 Cape May: there are plenty of Bed and Breakfast locations and nice hotels. Horse drawn carrage rides through the area. Beautiful sunsets (sunset beach gets crowded but go into Cape May Point at the end of Alexander Ave to avoid the crowd - same view). Great food. Kayak rentals, cruise the back bays. Whale/dolphin tours (whales are rare but dolphins are plentiful). Fishing, hiking through Cape May Point State Park, same park you can climb the lighthouse. Cape May County Zoo, 15 minutes from Cape May and it's free. Good zoo too. Beautiful beaches. Wildwood is 10 minutes away, ride rides, play games, have fun. I can give you a ton of additional ideas but I have to go to work. If you do cape may, pm me and I'll give you my cell number, I can make lots of reccomendations.

Hielo 0 Posted August 4, 2012 johnp, it's the Grand Union flag. It was one of the flags of the Revolution flown by George Washington. Was the unofficial flag of the new United States on July 4th, 1776 and remained our flag until the Stars & Stripes was adopted in 1777. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gorilla800lbs 12 Posted August 4, 2012 A hot air balloon ride? There is a balloon festival somewhere all summer long. The downside: a ride just for two can be really pricey. Hot Air Balloon Followed with a local B&B retreat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted August 4, 2012 Ron is right, Cape May is just wonderful! I realize that you started this thread yesterday, and therefore may already be "somewhere", but if not get there when ever you can. Lots to see & do and I can give suggestions on where to stay & eat. Go several times a year--in all seasons! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJM981 924 Posted August 4, 2012 Beach Haven on Long Beach Island has a lot of nice bed & breakfasts. I went to Pocono Palace last year. http://www.covepoconoresorts.com/ We went in March for winter sports, but still managed to go horse riding 15 minutes away. Might I add there is a Walmart you can swing by to replenish your ammo stockpile. P.S. if you have a CCW you can experience living as an American. That's how the little lady convinced me to go. (That and she paid ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duppie 73 Posted August 4, 2012 The Loop Inn , Avenel NJ http://loopinn.com/ I had an associate that did not want her mother to know she was seeing an older man so every time she went on a rendezvous she would claim to be going to the "POOL". Her way of lying and at the same time not. Her parents thought she was an excellent swimmer........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
