Haven't heard anything yet.

I'm waiting to hear from the guys at hallstead to see if they will be running the route this coming Sunday. I sure would enjoy going to Mehoopany though...

Ang they are not doing any work this weekend. See the post above your last one. They will start again next week.

There won't be a work detail at Hallstead this Sunday 9/26. They want to keep a low profile this week. Only 2 of their guys will be working marking the trail. Next Sunday Oct. 3rd they will start running the trail so everyone can learn it. I'll keep you all posted when I hear more.

Anyone planning on going to Hallstead on Sunday 9/26??? Joe is on vacation so we have to find out who to contacr and where they are meeting. Any ideas Mike??

Who is planing to go up to Hallstead on Sunday? If you want to help out but don't feel comfortable being a leader they can still use you as a tailman. If you want to help out in any way were meeting at the 81 rest area at 8am Sunday.

Well I'm in now for every Sunday up to the run itself. I have about 8 2-way radios for the day of the ride. This is going to be a good time. Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far. Hope we can get a few more people to volunteer. If the weather is good on the day of the run I'm betting their going to have well over 500 riders again. See you guy's Sunday at 8:00 at the rest stop.

I'm in for Oct. for sure. I'll try to make the last 2 weeks on Sept.

I not going to be able to make it. I have a job that has to get done tomorrow. I'll have to wait untill the end of the month or ride it in Oct before the poker run.

I'm gonna try to make it on Sunday. Your meeting at 8:00 at the rest area right?

I'd be up for it. Joe told me they may run Sat & Sun each week. He said they won't start untill 11:00-12:00. I'm working on Sat so Sun. should work for me. They meet at Joe's house and run from there.

Just talked to Joe Kovitch from Hallstead. He said what they need most for the poker run is leaders.The riding in Sept. will start later in the morning. Joe said to feel free to call him with any questions: 570-879-4057. On the morning of the poker run everyone will meet at Joes house at 6am and ride your quad from there to the starting point. He will have t-shirts for everyone and we will eat for free.If you have a set of 2 way radios bring them. During Sept they will be riding both Sat and Sun. It would be a good idea to ride the trail atleast once prior to the day of the poker run. It will be a full day of riding. You can plan on running the route 2 or more times. Joe also told me that someone aproched him about starting a ATV club in his area. He said that would open up some new riding so this will be a win win for all of us. If you can make it up any weekend in Sept put up a post in this forum. I'll get directions to Joe's house posted also. Any questions call Joe or me.... If you do plan to ride in Sept. before the poker run bring a saw, lopping shears ect. just in case.

I'm not sure if they need us to do any work. It sounded like they just wanted us to learn the route. That's a good problem to have...

Again if you are planning to help out at the Hallstead poker run and can make the rides prior to the run post ASAP so the guy's know how many they can count on. They expect a huge turnout so they need all the help they can get. Most of us will be needed as tail men which means you will ride the route 2 or 3 times the day of the run. They need between 15 & 20 extra guy's to make this run go smoothly. They are counting on our club so lets not let them down...

They are asking that anyone willing to help the day of the poker run plan to ride the route prior to the run so they can learn it. The run is scheduled for Oct. 17th. Registration will start at 7:00 a.m. You will have to make atleast one or two dry runs before the day of the event. As I said above they will be running the trail every weekend in Sept. Joe will let me know the days Sat or Sun.

I'm in for sure...

Joe Kovitch from the Hallstead Fire co. called me today. They are in the planning stages and he asked me to get a idea of how many members are willing to help out with the poker run. They plan to ride the route each weekend throughout the month of Sept. to learn the entire trail. This will be Sat. or Sun. depending on thier work schedules. Joe can offer over night accoommodations for up to 6 people the night before the run or you can camp or put a camper in the yard if needed. If your interested in helping out you must be able to ride the route atleast a few times. They are also offering us free t-shirts, food, and the ride itself. So please post ASAP if you want to help out. I told Joe I'd give him a firm number in a day or two. They are excepting a really large turn out so they are counting on us for help. This can go a long way in the good relations dept. and may even give us some new riding areas....

No word yet but I'll send Joe an email to see if they are still planning on holding the run this year. There is a lot of gas drilling going on up in Susquehanna County. I hope it dosen't effect any of the land they used.

You guy's are tough...

Well Thanks to the Chef my quad is now ready to roll. New front wheel bearings, brakes and new tires all around. I'm all ready for SSRT's BBQ..... Thanks Bob... Now if I can just keep the rubber side down I'll be set...

From what I understand Hallstead starts getting the run ready in mid summer. That means riding the trail and possibly doing some trimming or clearing. We would have to be familiar with the trails prior to the day of the run so that would mean riding it a few times so we know it. I plan to attend the scrabble run on Sat so I will see Joe and get more details. We are also in contact through email and telephone. All of these guys ride so we may aquire some new riding areas as well. It's a win win for everyone...

Sounds good Bob. We won't use this thread again untill late next year. May as well take it down...

I'd like to Thank everyone that came out to the meeting/Christmas party last night. We had a great turnout. 39 members and their families attended. I hope you all enjoyed the food. Thanks goes out to Bob & Mary Ellen Nitch for setting up the caterer and everyone who helped set up tables and clean up afterwards. It was a nice change from pizza and wings. 2009 was a great year for VATV. We had alot of fun and some really good rides. All the officers are going to be working hard to make 2010 even better. We'll do all we can to keep things running smoothly. We picked up alot of new members during the year and many have become very involved in club rides and activites. I'd like to also Thank Bob, Bob, Mike & Steve for all their hard work during the year. They are what makes the club work. They do alot of behind the scenes work that no one sees. These guys are dedicated to the club and we would be lost without them. So Thanks to everyone for a great year. Were looking forward to 2010 and more great times with the greatest people on earth.

I thought it was a black tie event...
