OK Everyone please pay attention. This is important.
OK, so we have made contact with the Raystown lake and I have bad news. First- In order for Raystown to host us they want to charge us $250 per day. Now I know that people will be traveling to this meet from as far as 200 miles away or more. So I didn't want people to have to pay for anything at the lake once they got there. I wanted this to be a free meet. So that means Raystown is out of the question.
Heres the good news. We have found Swigart Auto Museum which is basically right near the entrance of the lake. The museum is located right on Rt. 22 (For detailed directions please visit the website of the auto museum. Myself and Justin have both been in contact with them and they are willing to host us for free. ($5 to get in the museum) Here is a map of the location. We are going to host the meet at the Swigart Auto Museum on the morning/afternoon of Saturday June 12th. And in the afternoon we will take a cruise to get something to eat and then take a nice cruise down to the lake. (More info on this below). By looking at the google maps you may think that there isn't enough parking but there is. Swigart staff informed me that we can take up the parking lot and all of the grass in front and if needed we can park on the sides as well. If you wish to camp at the lake on sunday that is up to you. I know that some of you have made or are trying to make hotel reservations, but from what Justin has found is that alot of them are already fully booked around the lake. I apologize with the delay in info. Thank you Justin and Chris for helping out!

Now, on the afternoon of the 12th we are going to relocate to a spot on the lake that Chris (06cobalt) has found for us.
