Weather isn't going to hold out around here but for a few months at best. It might be nice to get in as much fun as we can while it is still warm. So, having said that, who wants to get in on a day trip some weekend soon. I talked to Foosh, and he says he'd be interested in the Sunday after the LI meet on the OS, which would be the 18th....

Couple stokes vids on youtube. Looks pretty fun. I think those are around the same area, so we could always pick one and take our chances.

I always find it funny when someone says there's no address... there's always GPS coordinates (unless he's living in the stone-age).

Its a huge wildlife park

As soon as you get to that general area, you are in it. The Jersey guys understand :poke:

Yup, it's kind of like a more civilized "turn right past the third tree after the old man on the bench" type of thing. :lol:
