East Coast Gathering Aug 11th (PA, DE, MD tri-state Cruise)

If y'all have Nextel's (I know, they suck sometimes but...), there is an option on them you can use that's just like a walkie-talkie. It's really neat and works much better then the alert/call button.
Nextel's not real popular in this area except with emergency service and the PT feature must be set-up for all concerned. Because I works in emergency service I have a Nextel but quite frankly they sucks.fire-n-ice said:
The talkabout's actually work quite well for runs as they are inexpensive, work pretty well and will function on one charge for 8 or more hours.

Anyone interested in the Crab Cruise on Aug 11? Here are the details:
9th Annual Tri-State Crab Feast
BMW Z3, Z4, Z8 and ///M Roadster & Coupe Cruise
Come on down to the Boondocks and join us for the 10th Anniversary (9th Annual) Crab Cruise (AKA Tri-State Crab Feast Cruise) on Saturday, August 11th (rain date Sunday, August 12th).
It all starts at the Winterthur Museum parking lot (6 miles NW off I-95 exit 7 on SR 52 in Wilmington, DE)
We head west through Northern Delaware estates and Southeastern Pennsylvania mushroom farms.
The route then turns south for lunch and a swim at Elk Neck State Park along the Chesapeake Bay. Bring a picnic basket (FYI – Day Use Service Charge is Weekends and Holidays April-October $3 per person; Out-of-state residents add $1.).
After lunch the drive continues east with a stop in historic Chesapeake City, passes by Maryland horse farms, reenters Delaware and heads south on SR 9 along the Delaware Bay ending at the Boondocks Restaurant just east of Smyrna for our crab feast.
The route includes almost every covered bridge in Delaware (two out of three) and three more in Pennsylvania. And, the crabs are great. We hope anyone able to commandeer a Z3/Z4/Z8 or ///M Roadster or Coup will join us.
Time:
Plan to arrive at 9:30 with a full tank of gas. We’ll have a short pre-cruise meeting at 9:45 and leave at 10:00 AM sharp.
Elk Neck State Park, Maryland – on the Chesapeake Bay:
Bring swim suit, towels and inflatable beach toys if you’d like to get wet (Important: at least one person from each car must get in up to their knees). This is also our lunch stop (with picnic tables and first class indoor plumbing including showers).
Chesapeake City:
Our early afternoon stop is on the National Historic Registry, as well as Maryland's Historic Registry. The town has many restored historic homes and shops, and galleries, featuring hand-painted originals and prints, antiques, collectibles, clothing, gifts and crafts. We’ll stop for exploring, ice cream cones, watching traffic along the canal, and picking out a nice bed & breakfast for a return visit.
Crab Feast:
The Boondocks, Smyrna, Delaware has fantastic crabs and plenty of other choices for non-crab lovers.
Lodging:
If you’d like to come early or stay late, E-Mail me for suggestions on where to stay.
Check out the Crab Cruise web page. And, please email Dennis at (contact FLYBOYAJ via PM for email address) to express your interest and receive further info as it becomes available.

UPDATE:
Hi Ya'll,
OK... it's two weeks to head down to the Boondocks for the 10th Anniversary (9th Annual) Crab Cruise (AKA Tri-State Crab Feast Cruise).
It all starts at the Winterthur Museum (http://www.winterthur.org) parking lot (6 miles NW off I-95 exit 7 on SR 52 in Wilmington, DE).
As Stu Ockman is a member in good standing of Winterthur, he has obtained permission for us to meet in the Winterthur parking lot! If you were with us last year you might recalled we were summarily dismissed from the parking lot by Winterthur Security due to them not recognizing Stu's membership in good standing. Bummer! This will be much more pleasant than waiting on the shoulder and dodging the traffic on SR52.
The gates do not open until 9:00 AM. It’s probably a good idea to wait outside until 9:00 if anyone arrives early. Thanks.
We'll have the pre-drive ritual at about 9:45 and head out at 10:00.
So, as usual, bring a full tank of gas, a picnic lunch, and appetite for crab and a smile. As a reminder there are no bathroom facilities in the parking lot and the Museum may not be open, so I suggest making a pit stop on the way.
Please email me back a confirmation if you will make the cruise, along with vital statistics such as passenger, cell phone number, car description (year, color, model) and any other thing you'd like to share. I'll put together a roster.
Last, if you know any other Zed owners who are not already joining us please invite them along.
Regards,
dod
