crewst Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 from http://lotuspals.ning.com/ :driving: I believe I'll be able to make it, perhaps with my wife, though I suppose that may mean less spirited driving for me. Time: April 7, 2013 from 8:30am to 12pm Location: NNJ/NEPA Event Type: scenic, drive A Spirited Drive that will take us on the "tunnel" route that starts in Allamuchy and takes us around the Pequest Fill with it ending at Sterling Hill Mining Museum. It utilizes about 60 miles of well-paved, twisty County routes, and the big BONUS are the tunnels....more than 6 of them! The drive will start at 0900. Participants should arrive by 0830. Meet at the Panther Valley Mall parking lot. It is the first strip mall on the right when you take exit 19 off of rt. 80 and take county rd 517 south. Duration of drive is expected to be 2 hours. Food and drink will be available at the finish site and tours of the mine are available at 1200 for participants to do on their own if they wish. Sterling Mine Museum is off Rt 517 between Rts 23 and 15 - The Sterling Hill Mining Museum The event will occur rain or shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemtd Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 ooh 6 tunnels, wish i could be there! Can you post (or pm me) the whole route? I'm hoping to come down to monticello in June and this would make a nice side trip (allong with Rt23 over high point). p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 If you are down this way in June and will make it that far south then you have 2 additional options: 1) Bruce Bowker's Milford NJ run is always a good one with the seven crowd. I think we set the date as Sat Jun 8 this year. 2) On June 22 and 23 our sevens day at NJMP happens - it is only an hour out of Philly to the east and probably closer to the way you would track home anyway. Even if you dont drive it would be good to meet in person and join us for dinner on the Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It looks like it will be a nice spring day. Anyone else going? I may try to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Exoticars Milford NJ is having an open house on Sunday. I am there to pick up my spare tires and check out the work done on the seven and of course check out what tasty treats are in the shop being worked on. They always have something amazing to drool over. Then it is back home to keep working. So I will miss the drive sadly as it does look like a good one.

jeffs Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This sounds like fun, I may try to make it as well. Is the panther valley mall the one with the fit happens and post office in it? (near the old alamunchy and 517 intersection?) Google maps doesn't seem to know where the Panther Valley Mall is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looks like I'll be able to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure of the navigation address, but it looks easy enough to find. I'll post a question on PALS website. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks Karl! I think I'm looking at the right mall, but I'd hate to miss this drive parked at the wrong spot. She was being a bit difficult yesterday and hard to start, but barring any mechanical problems I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'll see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewst Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Attached should be the PDF version of the PALS driving directions, in case anyone wants to go some other time, or in case of separation. I'm almost 100% sure to be there. LotusDriveSterlingHillMine.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 want to go but got this nasty cold/flue thats going around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewst Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Roman, It was tons of fun. Even my wife enjoyed it enough to want to go again, and she's not into going for rides. There were at least 4 people with GoPros, but I have yet to see links to any videos. My wife took a few quick clips with her iPhone of some tunnels, but I suspect GoPros would be much more enjoyable.
