Off-Road Event: June 1rst - Smith's Point Park staging area, NY/NJ

Hi All:  (oh if mods- need to put this in correct spot- please  help .. thanks )  I hope I am doing it correctly!

Its been a while and a few crazy few months.  But I want to see everyone again and start the summer of with a hello and thanks.

Me and chris  ( hguy8878) from LI hope to get a few  trucks and families together for some type of FAMILY DAY.

We would like to off road  but LI is well ummmm  lets say  flat and not many places...

I would like to try maybe a sun  in June.....

Any ideas  or suggestions..

Glad to be back !!!
maybe I will host another thing at my new place and  bar bque!!!

Glad to see you back, I'm not sure what June is going to have in store for me.  I know I'll be at THCI event the last weekend in June.  But keep me posted on what date you pick and I'll get back to you.

Throw a date out there and see what happens.  We have been getting a solid group out together lately in Jersey and PA.

we could all get together 1st 2nd week in june, that should give everyone enough time to set it up, but where you wanna meet, we could meet at smiths point park and go out on the beach that would be a fun family day

I am down count me in

( toys for tots- food drives etc)

We can plant a tree as a group ? and also have a fun time off roading!!
My company  is going to  get a year membership and help as much as I can.
 
 

Hello,
Yes, I'm interested in the toys for tots, food drives or any functions to that contribute towards the needy.
Although I don't off road but would glady participate as a Hummer enthusiast in any of these charitable functions. Reasonable location and Schedule permitting. Please keep me posted!

yeah theres a fee to run the beach, i think 35 bucks for a day pass or 75 and you can go on all year round, this would be a great spot to meet all year so i would recomend buying a full year pass, its a 2 mile stretch of beach, its great fun for the family. i dont know about planting trees though, its state land they would prob not let us plant trees. its off of the long island expressway so getting there is easy if you have a nav it may be in points of interest, if not take the william floyd parkway allllllllllll the way south and there you are you guys let me know when you want to do it, sgt and i will orginize it

hi

so  basically  items  1-3  urhhhhhh   - you mean  wer're up  river  w  them ..?

Im not sure how strict they are,but they state it on their site. I have never went wheelin on the beach.
I would hate to have people turned back cause of lack of few items that they have as madatory.

No  I dont want that either...
Any other  sugestions ?  
It seems we can't just  show up... so I am open  for ffedback from  anyone that can help...
 
We can still use  June 1

How about a BBQ at a park like Alley Pond or any state park which has BBQ pits and benches just an idea.

i think people want to do a little  offroading .. where is alley pond?
Bar b que is fun .. lets try to find  an off road  site.

Alley Pond is in Queens but no off roading there. I will do some seeking today and see if we can locate any off roading in LI or in the surrounding area.

thanks  its tough  I know.
 
If  anybody  can help that's from  LI   - any advice is great
