DAVETREK ADVENTURES

Sunset at Haleakala Crater—January 2005 © David Brotsky

Here is the plan:

 

A) Go to a nice area in Morris County NJ, about 70 minutes from NYC, which is full of activities in the area and we usually get a balanced mix of singles, couples, families and kids,

B) Choose one of two options

 

   (i) Either Go Blueberry & Peach picking, take a self guided tour of historic chester, and go on a guided tour of a 200 year old grist mill ,

   (ii) Or Go on a 5 to 7 mile hike that partially follows a beautiful stream visiting an exotic natural gorge and go on a tour of a 200 year old Grist Mill 

 

C) End the day with both groups at a 5:30 PM kosher catered BBQ for all (carnivores, omnivores and vegetarians), with volleyball and other activities

This is a new event, but in general for large events like this  we close the RSVPS and have to  reject  many people because people registered late or incompletely.  This year we had over 100 for our Memorial Day, and at some point I will close this out. It could be as large! Register QUICKLY, so you don’t get closed out!
