alec.mc 180 Posted January 17, 2013 Looks like us guys near Metuchen can do the train out of metropark. Looks to be less than an hour of train time -- Could be a good alternative to the Bridgewater, and Cheesequake buses if they don't happen Right now, metropark in Metuchen looks like my choice of travel -- sure would be nice to travel with a group-- especially in trenton If the buses get canceled, you can count me in for train travel from metropark with you.

MarkWVU02 47 Posted January 17, 2013 If enough njgf's go..maybe we can all meet up at the station and march over together.....either way we should have a rally point there...if possible.... I was given a flag after my mom was killed.....I think it's coming out of its box on the mantle and making the trek to be held at the rally.... I'm thinking of doing the train with you guys. I'll just meet you all in secaucus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M1152 713 Posted January 17, 2013 Two questions: Are there any contingency plans if the weather don’t want to play nice on February 8th? Is the one for 19 January still on and is anyone planning on attending that one? Or is the 2/8 date the main-event and one and only? TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1152 713 Posted January 17, 2013 I just thought of valley forge.....Princeton ..etc..weather be damned! I don't want to be a killjoy figured I'd ask, if its on I'll be there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted January 17, 2013 How's the bus count looking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmetoo 41 Posted January 17, 2013 Alright. So I've been trying to determine a good way to actually get to the rally. I've looked for parking garages in the area and have no luck. What's the parking situation near the capitol building? Also looked at the bus option that NJ2AS is offering, but not entirely sure how that works. I'm also looking at the times, I see the rally is at 10:00am, any idea when it's winding down? You may be able to park at the state museum, I'm not sure of what the cost is. A lot depends on how crowded things are due to the rally or anything else. If you're up for about a mile walk you can park across the Calhoun St bridge, there's a strip mall over there, and walk to the state house. That may be my plan.

Sigman 41 Posted January 17, 2013 How's the bus count looking? Ray - I registered for Cheesequake. Hopefully they get enough to fill a bus. Later Bro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wojo 98 Posted January 17, 2013 Guess I struck a nerve with ANJRPC in my posts and emails. Scott Bach and Bob Viden are going to join us in Trenton now according to Frank's email this morning. Just thinking here, if we can't have our signs mounted to any 'frame' or pointy sticks, can we have a flag pole for our flags? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zell959 40 Posted January 17, 2013 I'm signed up for the Montvale, but that bus seems unlikely to hit the needed 56. I'm thinking of sending an e-mail to switch myself to Cheesequake and give a bump to the bus that has the best chance of having enough people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVisHome 0 Posted January 17, 2013 I'd really like to take a bus, but am having a hard time convincing myself to drive 30+ miles in the opposite direction to do it. I live in Jackson, and it's looking like the Cheesequake/Forked River is the closest (neither is that "close"). There's no way a bus would stop somewhere off 195 (Exits 28, 22 or 21), right? Otherwise, I may just drive to Hamilton and take the train from there. I've never driven to Trenton, and I'm not sure I want to start now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatgunstatenj 32 Posted January 17, 2013 The NJTransit station in Trenton is only 1 mile from 125 W State St. If I can get out of work I'm probably going to take the train, sounds like it should be pretty easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tactical Monkey 51 Posted January 17, 2013 Sticky? Somebody? Anybody? And let's get some more butts in those buses !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hd2000fxdl 422 Posted January 17, 2013 I just signed up a guest. Any word on the status of the buses? Status of the busses are good if enough people register and pay for their seat, if not they won't happen. So anyone even if your on the fence, buy a ticket and if something happens and you can't make it, put it up on the forum, sell it or gift it, what ever works for yo, but I really think its sad we haven't had enough people already to need additional busses added.

CMJeepster 2,780 Posted January 17, 2013 For those going to Trenton Station, please use extreme caution and the buddy system while walking from there to the rally. It's not the greatest of neighborhoods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H.M. Murdock 0 Posted January 18, 2013 Sorry if this has been brought up but is there a recommended parking deck? I don't mind paying, my top priority is being able to exit quickly in case I am paged into work. I'm travelling in via 29/129. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heavyopp 167 Posted January 18, 2013 Anyone got a status on the buses?? I'm rethinking my traveling position -- if a bus is available I might as well get on -- Question now is which one -- Bridgewater is way closer but cheesquake isn't out of the question -- If Bridgewater needs 2 seats to make it happen then I'm in otherwise I'll put in for Cheesequake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
