Enlight Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm not certain that there's a 2 tent/site maximum but I figured people would want to spread out a little bit anyway. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Ah, my misunderstanding then! Boxkita graciously said he would call in and book a site (I don't have a USD credit card, nor anyway to call a US number without a significant international phone call charge....) so I will wait for confirmation on the site before doing anything. If nobody else seems too keen on a campsite, I am sure 3 x small tents shouldn't be so bad if the sites are a reasonble size, so that'd give you an option @BoozeRS05. Splitting costs on a site 3 ways will be better than any one person paying for a whole site themselves, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 11 minutes ago, KZJonny said: I should have been more clear: my BIG tent is a compact 2-man. About 1.2m X 2.1m. It's too heavy to go hiking with it, so I think of it as my luxury-size, car camping tent. If I can't carry it on a portage, it is of no use to me! I din't realize it was a 2 tent/site limit, so my offer to bring my other tent doesn't work as well now. Tho I am happy to loan camping gear to anyone who might need some. It is all just hiking/backcountry oriented type stuff, so light and small. I don't do car-camping/glamping generally, so I don't have any large format camping gear... Sorry! I have about 50 tabs of lgt.com open. Welcome to my drama. It will all work out Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) @Enlight My oldest booked an AirBnB some short drive from the camp site - Landisburg, PA 17040, USA. We are coming as a small group - 3 or 4 people, 2,3 or ( a big) may be even 4 cars. Looked at the available sites on the camp ground but found nothing that would work for us.

SubOperator Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Should we also start planning some activities schedule? Such that people have some idea of what's to expect. My expectation is that we will arrive late Friday, hang around/do activities Friday night/Saturday/ Saturday night and on Sunday morning will depart. Probably swing by the camp Sunday AM to say thanks and goodbyes before getting on the road back home. I plan on grabbing my drone so we can take some aerial photos/videos but be warned that I am very new to this thing - got it last year as a present. If anyone has some experience with drone videos - you're welcome to be an operator. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm open to all suggestions, @SubOperator. Here's something very rough that is not at all set in stone: Quote Friday Night Arrival/fireside hang Saturday 9:00am - Group breakfast at predetermined location 9:00am - Scenic/curvy road cruise 12:00pm - Lunch at a brewery 1:00pm - Begin drive back to camp 3:00pm - Hang at camp 6:00pm - BBQ Sunday Final group breakfast, thanks, goodbyes, and early departures Group photo Taking what I've learned from watching @AZP Installs organize their 48 Hours Drive, it will be a good idea for everyone to bring a walkie talkie if not CB radios. I don't need to lead the cruise but I'm willing to play that role (anyone out there experienced leading a cruise / picking a route?). In either case, we will also need a "back door" to make sure we haven't left anyone behind. I did entertain the idea of going to a brewery instead of camp BBQ, but seeing as we have at least 3 families with kids of varying ages, I think keeping it camp will be good for the loved ones and making them feel a part of the event. Are name tags with our forum handles + real names a good idea? 1 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be happy to spend some time working on it if that is what is wanted. Have a CB. As I stated earlier, I’ll work on dinner for Saturday night, at camp. We’ll host and ask folks to contribute once we get closer. Hope ya’ll don’t mind a chick driven Ascent in the group.

Enlight Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Awesome, someone who knows what they're doing, haha. I'll shoot you a PM sometime to bounce some ideas, I started looking over the roads in the area and there definitely look like there are good ones. Anyone else who wants to join on the route planning "committee" just let me know. I'm already beginning to see a good route, I just need to plot it onto Google maps to get an estimate of how long the trip will be. When the date draws nearer we can share a GPX/KML file for people with navigation. 2 1 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Here is a first draft of the route I'm thinking of. I'm very glad @boxkita introduced Road Curvature to me, that thing is a game changer. The total is about 200 miles which may be a bit ambitious, feedback welcome. I think it will be trimmed down a bit. Planning a streamside lunch at Voodoo Brewing in State College . At the halfway point, people are free to break away back to camp if they like. 1 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Wife gave permission to check out an 05 LGT 5mt wagon for sale locally. Buyer now has the car listed close to what I think it might be worth to me. Car is a modified runner. Want to inspect it and if its good... No current emissions in my state so I can easily register the car for now. Unlike most of the surrounding area. Would sell the 4runner to open finances for future parts/mods/track time. Maybe, I drive to the meet in an LGT wagon. Maybe. Edited February 20, 2023 by m sprank 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Booked a site at Paradise. Camp fee covers first 2 adults. Each additional overnight Adult is $12. Each site can hold 2-3 tents. Site A is bigger than the rest, theoretically holding more tents. Group discount made weekend stay at $141 for 2 nights.

m sprank Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Just sent an email to Brian at Subie Stickers. Sent him the jpg files and requested pricing for stickers and tees. If he can print the tees we will need a better head count and sizes so I dont end up with a bunch of left overs, lol. For starters I requested 50 each of the stickers. You can slap them on drive through menus along the return trips. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Just saw this for the first time. Quick calculation puts this 591 miles from home. Dunno. If I were to try to attend for a least the Saturday, I would be driving my (don't faint Byron) mini van.

m sprank Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Found an engineless 08 specB 120xxx miles at a price I am very interested in. If the wagon owner would get back to me I can figure out if swinging a 5mt driving wagon and an engineless specb is possible. 08 SpecB wagon? Use front end and interior plus 6mt drivetrain and aluminum suspension parts??? Then track that. If I had both by May the suspension and trans could be swapped by June... oh the hole I can dig. Who wants tees and stickers? Wagon? Sedan? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 the owner of my track wagon might be sick of it by now. I saw a post where he's still chasing issues from the nvh I introduced with the motorsports configuration. Years of working in data centers made it impossible for me to hear the high frequency noises. I'm pretty sure heavy metal front row seats had no impact 1 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid all that good money ($4hr back then) to mosh in a pit and could have sat in a seat???? No broken noses???? Cant see it, bigger screen. Cant hear it, turn it to 11!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
