Pocono Swimming Day

Relaxing day in Pocono's (choose your activities:swim, hike, paddle boats,..)

Details

(This is a rescheduled event that had been cancelled earlier in the month, so now’s your chance to join in) Meet at 11:15 AM on the front porch of Rainbow Mt. LGBTI Resort main lodge (see pic above). (For those that want to we'll stick together as a group, but don't feel obligated as it's a day of relaxing and experiencing at your own pace). From there we will go to the pool area (they charge a fee to enter; I think it is $7/person). Pick your lounge chair (hopefully we can get a spot that we can all be together). At 12:30 we will head on up to their outside dinning area for a group lunch. Afterwards, return to the pool/bar area for some fun in the sun. Their pool is huge. Bring your towel and sun screen (small beach umbrellas that attach to lounge chairs is good idea too). They have changing rooms but best to wear your swim suite there (can bring change of clothes later to go home). They also have a path around the pond we can take a short hike on. (Note: it’s Men's Weekend at Rainbow Mt. LGBTI Resort.) Later if you wish and want to stick around, they serve dinner starting at, other restaurants in the area too down the Mt. The night club opens at 8pm if want to stay for that.  In-between they have lots of shopping areas I can point you to down the Mt. or you can go up the Mt. to a hiking area/park. If you want to stay for the whole weekend, please call Rainbow Mt. ASAP to make your own reservations. Lot's in the Pocono area to do for the weekend. Look on line and or ask me where to go/what to do (outlets, hiking, water parks, river adventures, restaurants, etc.)  (NOTE: Bring small bills to make change for lunch, everyone pays for what they eat and drink plus 20% tip and tax please! No charge cards get cash night before you leave please. They have a bar near the pool too; I think that is cash only)

Directions

Take Rte 80 either East or West. Take exit for Marshals Creek, Exit 309. Then take Rte 209 North. After you pass DQ and Odd Lots/Fireworks, (just past the Cigarette shop on right and the old abandon pizza place on the left), look for Buttermilk Falls Rd and make a right there. Go up the hill just a short piece and just past Wyndham Building, make a left onto Mt. Nebo Rd. Be careful, it is a country Rd and lots of curves. There is ONE stop sign on this road. Once you pass this stop sign you will soon see a park on your left and will then start to go down the mountain. Immediately after the newer homes on are the rights you will come to Rainbow Mt. Resort. You will see some cabins up on the right and main lodge on the right.

There are several parking lots. A small one immediately on your right and left (after pass newer homes, around blind bend) (these are hard to back out on this curve however when you go home), then a small one across from the main lodge too if you can get a spot there, and also if you go down the hill past the pool there is a large lot on the Right (this lot easiest to get in and out, but have to walk up the hill to the pool/lodge).
