If all goes as (loosely) planned, we will meet at or near Capt. Jim's place in White Plains New York around 8AM. I'll pick up South Central CT growers & they'll drive with me. There we grab others & caravan up the Meritt Pkwy north toward south cental CT visiting patches along the way.

With John Deary's permission, we might even get our chance at our 5 minutes of fame on the "Pumkin Cam". OK...1 minute but who's counting?

In so far: Jim Stead, Chuck Radcliff (you better be free! LOL!), David Garrell, myself & who else???

I hereby decree that it's OK to call in sick from work.

If we don't get enough participants it OK to bring your Golf clubs.

Hi Dwaine,

Right smack dab in the middle of Westchester County. 20-30 minutes northeast of NYC. From the NY State Thruway I-87 south to the Tappanzee Bridge across the Hudson then I-287 west 5 miles to exit 8W. We can meet at our store which is abuts the Interstate.

Or I-95 across the GW Bridge then about another 20 miles north to I-287 West exit 8.

Or Westchester County Airport is only 5 minutes from the store. Jim's place is about a mile from the there. From there, growers are anywhere from 10-40 minutes apart.

Let not your heart be troubled. New York can handle more than this. Our power did go down briefly here after all. My email is still down. You won't need flashlights. LOL

By the way. It's I-287 EASTBOUND for anyone traveling over the Tap. My mistake.

Bart's in too.

Who else?

I did run out of candles but it was nice to see the stars in the sky and it wasn't even raining!
