Attendees:

Lakota Wolf Preserve

This is why we are rallying here.

The wolf preserve is up in the mountains about 8 miles from the campground and is a must see if you have even a smidgeon of interest in animals.
Last time we were there there were about 5 or 6 packs and approximately 30 wolves. This is probably the closest you can get to seeing wolves in a "as best it can be" natural habitat that protects both the wolves and the gawkers.

The preserve doesn't exactly do group tours, but they do make group arrangements. As a collective, it would probably be better for us to go as a group on Friday.
Tours are 10:30am and 3:00pm. Individually, you can go any day but Monday (closed).

Groups are slightly discounted as "every 10th person is no charge" Cash only for groups, cash or check otherwise.

There is a poll at the top of the thread to gauge interest in the tour. Please vote only if you are attending the rally.

***** UPDATE *****

The Wolf preserve isn't really a "we cater to groups" place, although there is a slight discount for parties of 10 or more. Not sure how to work the buy 10 get 1 free yet.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]The Wolf Preserve Tour, figure on a couple of hours from the time you leave the CG until return.
Tours are available at 10:30 and 4:00

The Friday (weekday) tours [/FONT]must have a confirmed [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]appointment, group or individuals.
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Also must be a confirmed appointment for a group tour on Saturday or Sunday[/FONT]

As we get close to the date I will ask again for a headcount.
We have to be at the Preserve 1/2 hour before the tour.
The Preserve is approximately 8 miles, 15 minutes from the campground.

If the group prefers the morning tour, we should plan on leaving the Rally campground at 9:30-9:45

The Delaware Water Gap, has many things to do and see. The National Recreation Area covers 70,000 acres,
Besides the park itself, there are several wineries in the area, museums, recreation facilities like water parks, zip lining etc.

Bushkill Falls touts it self as the Niagara of Pennsylvania. That might be pushing it a bit, but it's a nice park and the waterfalls are - well waterfalls.

Google things to do at the Delaware Water Gap

Limited hours yes, for now it is a couple of hours on Thursdays.

I would suggest, email all your info, give it a few days then call.

About the same for us Jon, since we will be coming from Whaleyville.

As the crow flies, I don't think there is a closer campground in Jersey for you to travel to. It is few miles south of 80 at the border.

And don't forget - getting into Jersey is easy, it's the getting out part that hurts.

Count us in we'll get in touch with the cg. See ya down the road!!!

Going to try to get to Masseys Landing in August with her. Might have to change her room in the ElkRidge to a Den. She can sleep on the couch. Lol.
