Where is it??? I didn't know!!??! I had to pull over and ask someone what street to turn down (First Ave. or something) and finally rolled up on the facility and still had no clue where the ramp was until I flagged down some Park Ranger dude who pointed me in the right direction But I still made it there at 10am sharp to launch that day. I thought you were supposed to be there CR?

You'd think with the experience he has on the River he'd be able to get me there the fastest, easiest, and most direct way???!! I guess I'll run the ocean next time, won't dare ask Panther for directions via the OCEAN! LOL

Fastest, easiest, direct way would have been exit 114. From that exit it is only 10 minutes.

It took us 35 mins from Atl High to Point.

I doubt I'll be down for the Ortley race. It just sucks that it got moved from Point! Damn Jenks and the towns people! I was originally planning on taking a half day and heading down. But the ride to Sea Side on a Friday just doesn't seem worth it (could take 3 hrs for an hour race.) I am gonna have to wait until the NY race this year.

Still no word on the NY PR video yet. As soon as I hear, I'll let you know!

I can see why you guys stick close to home in your boats
