Folks in the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas (NY Capital Region, western CT, western MA): would you be interested in getting together at Lake Taghkanic on May 18—similar to the gathering that @coldfeet, @Tsuga8, and @Curlymoe held last autumn?

I’m thinking that May 18 would be ideal so that we’ll (hopefully) have warm weather, but beat the crowds (and parking fees) that’ll come after Memorial Day. As for the location, Lake Taghkanic sounds like it was pleasant for the folks who went in fall and seems likely to be a reasonable drive for a lot of folks in the regions mentioned above.

If there’s interest—say, at least two other folks besides me—I’ll share some additional resources, a tentative schedule, and a sign-up sheet (not looking to make this gathering anything too formal, just thinking those things might help folks coordinate travel and food plans). As folks did in the fall, I think it could be nice to do a potluck; I’ll bring some kind of food or drink (not yet sure what) and a portable grill to share.

Please reply if you’d like to see this happen!
 
Full disclosure - I have a family member having surgery earlier that week. I confirmed today that they might, or might not, need my help as late as Sat. So unfortunately I'll be noncommittal til the last on this, much as I'd like to join.
 
I might be able to make this, is it just a day paddle?

TMI, let me interject just to welcome your first post! Feel free to ask any questions and to post messages, photos and videos, and to start threads, in our many forums. Please read Welcome to CanoeTripping and Site Rules! Also, please add your location to the Account Details page in your profile, which will cause it to show under your avatar, as this is a geographic sport. Many of the site's technical features are explained in Features: Help and How-To Running Thread. We look forward to your participation in our canoe community.
 
As promised, I have created a document with a tentative schedule and additional resources for those who may be interested in coming to the gathering; it is attached to this post. I also have created a sign-up sheet to help folks coordinate plans; since that is a document that folks can edit, I will send it via PM to folks who reply to this thread to indicate their interest in attending.

If you have questions or comments about these documents or how you feel the day should look, let me know (either in this thread or via PM). Hope to see many of you there!

Wish I could join that weekend but I can't. I'm a member of another outdoor group and going to New Hampshire where I might just rent a canoe since we are camping in Tamworth at Chocorua KOA. Now your wondering why I'm going to a KOA camping and what group? (or maybe your not, haha) Well I bit the bullet and bought a small travel trailer so the Mrs. can be more comfortable. Ain't I nice. I bought a Casita travel trailer and joined the fiberglassrv troops. Plan is to begin seeing our wonderful country. Now let's see how comfortable I am driving and pulling this thing. I am set up with roof racks and will bring the canoe on certain trips. But not my maiden voyage, one thing at a time. Have fun at Taghkanic.
