Please read the whole post and consider thank you!

I will need a great deal of help on Thursday, the day before the event.

I need to transport the props from Hickory run to Sac, and while we are at it, may as well go strait into setting up the camp at least a little. Please let me know if you are willing to help with either transporting props, setting up, or both. I will give separate build bonuses for both task and you can gain both build bonuses if you help with both.

For transporting props, how many trips it will take will depend largely on the number of people who volunteer with vehicles, and what size the vehicles are. This is the most important one in my mind, and I really hope that some people with volunteer to help with this. The earlier we get started on this the better. Ideally I would like to have all the props at sac by noon, start time would depend on how many people let me know they are going to help move props.

For set up, I figure we are there anyway, might as well drop the props off strait into the inn and start decorating a bit. Well just get started and see where it takes us, before we decide to throw in the towel for the day.  If we get far enough we may not even have need for set up on Friday. I will post Thursday night whether or not we need set up help on Friday.

I really need to know what to expect on Thursday so please, send me a PM as soon as you can if you think you can help. I know that the day is January 1st is sort of a holiday but hopefully that will also mean that people will already have off. For those of you who come help, I will make sure you are rewarded well.

Thanks again and please send me a PM right away to let me know if you can help and if so, to what extent. Thanks!

Not saying I can help (that remains to be seen), but if I can, will I be able to sleep overnight on camp Thursday?

You need to tell us what time to meet at which camp in the Poconos.

My car is too small to really transport much but I can at least help to load up cars if you need extra hands.  I'll be in the Poconos area on Thursday so let me know.

Hey James, I can most likely help, but you need to check your pms.  And then answer them.  With my questions such as what time do you want us there, and where exactly is the storage unit...so remember CHECK YOUR PMS.

I will call the ranger today and fight out about staying over.

Charna, no car is too small if you can fit a few bins, that will help ;)

I can help James.  I just need to know when I should be there.  10 is about the earliest I could manage.  I would like to repeat Stacey's sentiments: Check you PMs and ANSWER THEM.  :P

James, I'm pretty sure I can help.  The only concern is getting there, as an address seems to be a little difficult.  Is there someplace that we can all meet up before going to the storage shed so that no one gets lost?  Or at least a landmark that I can use for GPS and then maybe easy directions from there.

Stacey, I use the intersection of White Lake Rd and Lafayette Rd as my GPS destination point.  All you have to do from there is follow White Lake Rd until you see the Dragon's Claw inn.

James, if you want us to meet at the storage shed, I'd appreciate an address.

OK awesome! It is beginning to look like we will be able to do this well.

Here is the list so far. Let me know if you change from a Maybe or Probably to a Definite. Some of you may be able to just meet us at Sac, becuase I will not need more than 2-3 other vehicles to help move stuff. I want to leave the Hickory run storage not much later than 10am. Meaning I will need people there by around 9am. People just meeting us at sac can meet us at noon there.

I am having EXTREME difficulty getting an address for this place. It is on 534. The nearest intersection is 534 and N Old Stage Road. At that intersection it is further west on 534 about .21 miles on the right. It is the Madison Inn at Hickory Run. Don't look up directions for that Inn, the address is incorrect.  Park there until you see my hummer in front of a small shed on the large open field.

Definite:
Charlie
Stacey B.
Tom S / Paul Y.

Probably:
Zach (10 earliest)

Maybe:
Mike Smith
Matt D / Malcom / Marcella

Well crap! If Luis is going to help with his van to transport props I really don't need more than one more car. Everyone else would just be wasting gas money. Luis please let me know if you are a definite and if so we will coordinate to have just one more empty vehicle there at 9am. Everyone else can meet us there at noon.

While I am over pleased with the response at this point, I am beginning to think that we may have too many people. Also I cant let more than three to four people stay overnight there, or the ranger will think me a liar, for telling him only a couple.


Lets start with Luis, If you can make it for sure, let me know and I will ask one more of you to help move props. Someone with a completely empty vehicle. After that we will need to figure out who could definitely help set up at sac, and who would need to stay over.

Wow.  You're right, James.  This is tough to find on my GPS.  I'm actually having trouble finding Hickory Run.  Is there any possibility you could give me a longitude/latitude point (not likely, I know).  Is there another nearby city that I might be able to use to find coordinates (I tried White Haven).

I am EXTREMELY great full for all the positive replies, but between all the offers here and in my PM box, there is too much help. There simply would be people with nothing to do, and the ranger would be like, "I thought your event started Friday not Thursday".

As such I am going to have to do the unthinkable and turn down some offers to help. I apologize, but I really do appreciate the fact that so many people offered to help.

What I am going to do is post a list of who I would like to come, based off of when they offered to help, if they can definatly make it, if they have to stay at the camp, etc. Ultimately aside from my vehicle and Luis's I only need one more empty vehicle with no extra passengers. After that I only need about four or five more people tops to meet me at Sac. Any more than that and there will be people with absolutly nothing to do but stand around.

I will fill this list in below as quickly as I can.

Transport Props (Meet at Hickory Run Storage at 9am)
1) James - Hummer
2) Luis - Large Van
3) Tom S. / Paul Y. (Paul would stay over)

Set up Camp (Meet at Sac at Noon)
1) Charlie
2) Zach
3) Damien
4) Matt D / Malcom / Marcella

Also out of everyone listed above is there anyone who would need to stay over?

I cannot stay over, as I have to pick up bread and fruits Friday morning.  Can I leave some gear at Sac, since I will be otherwise bringing a fairly empty car on Thursday, and might as well bring my altar and such?

Ya anyone who wants to leave gear, that shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone know how to get a hold of Luis? Trying to confirm with him after his last post, and wether or not he comes would depend on whether or not I would have to change my whole game plan :)
