I'm in ,I love yuengling,and we cant get it here,thats what that big trunk of ours is for.

[Krytin]

I like the idea Gordon but I won't be able to take the time off from work for the rest of the year - got a wedding to go to in NOLA in Dec. and that will use up my time off.
Hope you get this one going on a yearly schedule!

[DWSTANG67]

Sounds like a good time I just have to check the work Schedule.

I voted for the 17th because i be out of country from the 1st to the 10th

[Ms. Denmark]

We LOVED the last one that Joe Walsh put together. Hopefully we can make it this year. We can do the 10th or even the 17th but prolly not the 3rd. Thank you Gordon, for getting this ball rolling. BTW 2 memorable things (other than an amazing time with amazing people & cars) happened that weekend in 2010. Eric drove his very own black Marauder to it's very first mm.net meet, and the members of the MV IX planning committee stayed over night in the area and officially started the year long planning process! Woo hoo! It was a GREAT time! (Met Jimbok at dinner!)

[N40GL]

I'm in, but it's a little far in advance to predict exactly which date works best.

[HammerDown]

Didn't vote in the poll yet--got some family issues goin' on. November 10th is the only possibility right now. We will know in a few weeks..........

[Badger]

I going up to Stoubts next weekend (10/13/2012) for their open house.
Alternate date?

[Bigdogjim]

Let's do this! Fall is a great time to take a ride:up:

[Marauder]

The only day I can't is the 10th. As of now, may be able to make any of the other days.

[Ms. Denmark]

Let us know as soon as you pick the date and we'll call the dogsitter.:)

[Bigdogjim]

I have a dogsitter:) It's Garfield:up:

[Joe Walsh]

Marianne and I are good-to-go!

We might want to look at 2 additional breweries that we did not get to visit due to time constraints:

Troegs Craft Brewery in Hershey, Pa:

Victory Brewing Company west of Philadelphia:

[WhatsUpDOHC]

Any dates?

Sounds nice but the Panthers that we'll be traveling in could be cabs (Let's not think of the other.........).

November 17th. Be at the parking garage in Pottsville at 10am, the same one we were at the first time, to be at Yuengling by 11am.

Mahantongo St Deck

The Mahantongo Parking Garage is at Second and Mahantongo Sts. At ground level there are 49 eight hour meters. On levels one through five parking at the 227 monthly spaces is by permit only. Monthly parking can be either reserved to an assigned space, or unreserved (first come first served), based on availability. Daily or weekly parking is available at $2.00 per day. Handicapped parking is in the metered area.

[Mebot]

To get there at 11 means leaving here at 630 am

So you'll be good and ready for a tour.....of a beer factory!!!:cool:

[Haggis]

Anyone else from from NY, NJ or CT going to make the trip. Paul and Voula came down 2 yrs ago. I need to know how many people for reservations at the restraunt.

November 17th, be at the parking garage in Pottsville at 10am, the same one we were at the first time, to be at Yuengling by 11am. Spaces are limited on their tours. I am also looking into Troegs and Victory Breweries for tours and then dinner at the Black Angus Restraunt at Stoudts later.

Mr. Man and I are planning on being there! It's a great tour and the restaurant is great and I don't need to tell you that the peeps are great and of course the cars are well....awesome!

[Mr. Man]

Yo Haggy baby FYI there are a few coal mine tours in the Pottsville area as well. Just throwing int out there.

[Comin' in Hot]

I don't know if I feel comfortable being in a deep, dark hole with Haggis:eek:

Victory Brewing Company west of Philadelphia: Does not give tours of the brewery

How many want to do this? If enough interest, I will look into it.

[Comin' in Hot]

IF you want to do a coal mine tour, I know of two,

The No. 9 in Lansford, PA

http://www.no9mine.com/

and

The Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour in Taylor, PA

http://www.lackawannacounty.org/attractions_coal.asp

[Comin' in Hot]

I forgot about the pine tunnel in Ashland

http://www.pioneertunnel.com/home.shtml

either the pine tunnel or the No. 9 aren't too far from Pottsville. If we go to ashland, we might as we go to Centralia, or what used to be Centralia.

What is Centralia, Derick?

Tours schmours I just want to taste the finished product.

[Comin' in Hot]

Centralia was a town in Pennsylvania. Back in the 70s coal fire started in the mines underneath it and the government deemed unsafe to live there. so there's only like two houses left out of the whole town. Kind of a creepy place, Perfect for burnouts though!!!!!

Sorry I'm out.

Daughter's swim meet that weekend.

Have a great time!

I am looking into a few attractions for us to do besides the Yuengling Tour.

Hopefully after Yuengling we will head to lunch (TBD), then we will be heading to one of the coal mines (TBD) for a trip underground and then something near and dear to Derick's heart a fire equipment museum. You are coming right Derick? Then after all this we will head to the Black Angus Restraunt/Stoudt's Brewery for dinner.

So I need you all to let me who is coming so I can make reservations for dinner and maybe get group rates on some of these events.

Vote...Vote...Vote
Your vote counts.

[N40GL]

More like burn-UPS.

Count me in with one. Unless anyone has a spare blonde sitting around.

Are you looking into the Schuylkill Historical Fire Society Museum?

we could do lunch at Maroons in Pottsville.

Yes, the Schuylkill Historical Fire Society and Maroons is the fall back place if the first choice falls through.

[FreddieH]

The 10th is good for me. I will have the whole weekend off.

Freddie The 17th has already been picked.

[DEFYANT]

10th works for me. Prior commitment on the 3rd and the 17th is my sons 15 yr old bitrhday. However, I am still slated to work on the 10th. I will try and take off if thats the final date..

[Bluerauder]

November 17th. Be at the parking garage in Pottsville at 10am, the same one we were at the first time, to be at Yuengling by 11am.

Is anyone going up the day before on Friday, 16 November and staying the night in or near Pottsville? The Saturday 10:00 AM rally puts me close to a 5:30 - 6:00 AM departure. Even that allows for no delays enroute. Might work better to come up the day before. Anyone? I am sure that there's a Hampton Inn close-by with a big canopy. ;)

Here's one just off I-81 in Pine Grove about 21 miles from Pottsville >>>>> http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/pennsylvania/hampton-inn-pine-grove-PVGPAHX/dining/index.html

I think that may be the one Chris and Gordo stayed at the last time. They should be able to give you the skinny on the who, what, where etc.

[05crownsport]

Pencil me in...I will vote when I know for sure. Sounds like fun!

You could always stay at the MV9 hotel and only be about an hour from Pottsville. It would also be way nicer than anything you are going to find around Pottsville.

If you would like me to, I can arrange a block of rooms for this event at The Central Hotel in Harrisburg. Just let me know if there any interest. :)

Haven't made up my mind on this trip yet. Lots going on right now. Think that I would rather stay at the Hamption Inn in Pine Grove (only 21 miles from Pottsville). Much closer and I know what to expect at the hotel. Looks like it might be a fairly new hotel since it doesn't show on satellite maps. Besides, I have a Hilton Honors card and need to cash in some points. ;)

Any word Paula, what rate can you get?

I called the Pine Grove Hampton Inn and can get a block of 10-12 rooms at a rate of $99 + tax. Please post up if you would like to stay at the Hampton or the MVIX hotel (has a bar). Or shoot me a PM.

[Ms. Denmark]

Justin has no rooms available for Friday night. He can give us a group rate of about $107/nite on Saturday but nothing is set up yet,as Chris let me know you were checking the Hampton. He is waiting for me to let him know if we want that. Would have to get back to him very soon. Let me know!

I was going to wait to see if there is any interest in staying at a hotel before I set aside a block of rooms.

Sorry Jimbo but if you're going to pitch em right over the plate you can't blame a guy for taking the swing. :flamer::D

Interested in this. Might just be me and Dad going. We will probably stay with my Aunt in Hanover, PA Friday night to cut down on the required travel in the morning.

[Comin' in Hot]

I'm not going to make it. I was originally supposed to go to Minnesota Nov. 8-10th but the fire department pushed it back a week, so I'll be gone Nov 15-17th. I didn't schedule the flights yet, but if something changes I'll keep everyone posted.
