As it gets closer we can firm things up... Last year when I went down we camped saturday night in a campground not far from the water. Definitely plan on staying again this time. Maybe with you in the mix I'll be able to get on the road earlier this year!

I live right off 23 close to Willowbrook, so actually 46 to 3 to the Parkway is shorter for me, but 46 to 287 works also. I have two sets of Cobra walkie-t's so we can talk while driving for emergencys etc. (I took my CB out long ago and it's a lot cheaper and easier than using cell phones) We could also take 78 eastbound.. that would bring us to the parkway right at the Union plaza interchange. Not sure if that would be shorter... I'll plan a few routes tonight and see which one has the least miles. There was a spot that locals know of right near Forked River State Marina where you can launch for free, then it's a 5 minute run down river and then almost straight across the bay to Tices and the lighthouse. Not sure if it's still there, but I think it is... I'll check Goggle Earth and find out. But if you have a favorite launch area that's fine with me also.

Anyone else want to join the parade? I have 4 radio's total, so there's room for more in the caravan.
