Thirdgen Power at the Point 2010!
Okay folks, here's the full scoup on the picnic this year!
*Power at the Point picnic 2010*
--SATURDAY, October 2nd--
Everyone is welcome to attend; all domestic makes/models welcome to park in the show area! (Left side of the lot near the treeline)
Start time 11am; Lunch should be ready around 1pm; wrap up around 5pm or so.
Cost: $15 per person with kids free.
Food will be typical picnic/cookout fare; hamburgers/hotdogs/various chips/sodas/waters/salads/beans/fixin's/etc/etc
--just a few quick reminders:
- traffic laws are obviously in force, 25mph max in the park
- ABSOLUTELY NO burnouts, aggressive driving, etc.
- state park admission is $3 per vehicle, there may be someone collecting at the gate, or there may not. If not, the honor system is in effect. Grab an envelope at the box as you come in, toss $3 in it, and put it in the big mailbox looking thing. Before you drop it in the box, tear off your parking pass and put it on your rear view mirror. Everyone -must- have paid up, and have a pass hanging from the rear view.
- no beer, etc.
- please be curtious to other park patrons, park officials, etc.
- trash is on a pack in, pack out plan. I will be collecting trash near the buffet area, please clean up after yourselves.
Park information
North Point State Park
8000 North Point Road
Edgemere, MD 21219
http://www.homestead.com/northpointstatepark/
My cliff notes on directions to the park:
From Northern MD/ points from North:
695 South Exit 42 - North Point Blvd./Sparrows Point. Bear right onto 151 South -- North Point Blvd. First left (Edgemere/Ft. Howard) onto North Point Rd. (into edgemere) you will pass a food store on the left, then sparrows point HS on the left, stay LEFT at the fork in the road just past the food lion, strait for about a 1/2 mile, park entrance is on left. (bay shore road)
From Southern MD/VA/DC area
(I-95N to I 695 East, key bridge)
I95 North to 695E to Exit 43 -- Sparrows Point. Left (at ramp) onto Rte 158 -Bethlehem Blvd towards Edgemere/Fort Howard. Proceed to traffic light at North Point Blvd. Straight through the light onto North Point Rd. (into edgemere) you will pass a food store on the left, then sparrows point HS on the left, stay LEFT at the fork in the road just past the food lion, strait for about a 1/2 mile, park entrance is on left. (bay shore road)
Basically after you get off of I-695 (and onto north point road if you are coming from the North, it's the first left) you stay strait on the main road until you hit the park. It will be on the left. (If you end up at Fort Howard Park, that's the end of the road, you have gone too far! It's back about 2 miles.)
Also, please note that mapquest says North Point Road/RT 20. there is no signs for RT20, just North Point Road, which are the same. Just worth mentioning.
NOTE: The toll for the Key Bridge is $2 each way.

Re: Thirdgen Power at the Point 2010!
I sure think I can make this one. We play Air Force away that weekend, so I won't be caught up in a football game. What time do y'all normally show up out there?

If I can get my car running then perhaps, but it'll look like absolute crap if I do make it :P

Re: Thirdgen Power at the Point 2010!
Hey Erik, thanks for the invite and reminder. I still have the purple beast but she's torn apart getting a new coat and a new heart too. If there's a rare chance she's back together in two weeks I'll be there - but it's already been four months, so I'm very skeptical. Hope everyone has a great time and enjoys the comraderie.

Re: Thirdgen Power at the Point 2010!
Great time today Eric, thanks a lot for taking the time to organize everything again. Sorry to see a low turn-out, but it was great to see you guys again and get to hang out on such a beautiful day.
