Swimming & Lunch in the Poconos
End of Summer Swim @ Gay Pocono Resort
Details
(This is the rescheduled gathering from July 31. Please read ALL DETAILS)
Meet at Rainbow Mt. (Poconos) at lower field large parking lot (bottom left on the map below) at 11:30AM, pick our chairs by pool, head up to patio lunch, then can lounge at bar/pool & socialize, play pool volley ball, hike around the pond trail, try the paddle boats, take a dip in hot tub. Entry is $7 for pool.
Since we might be a larger group, we may need to be seated at several tables for lunch on the patio. One check per table.
Please pay cash at lunch & PLEASE bring small bills for change,pay for what you order, plus tip and tax.
Pay for what you drink directly at the bar.
NOTE:They don't allow outside food & beverages.
Very little shade there now, so you may want to bring a small beach umbrella that hooks up to your chair or bring a bungee cored to strap it to the railing (if you get a chair by railing)
Bathrooms & Changing rooms are available.
(If you want, on your own, feel free to stay the whole Labor Day Weekend. They are a lodge and you can try to make reservations there or at other local motel/hotel)
Please get there early. Allow proper time for travel plus for some traffic. I suggest looking up your directions on Mapquest or Goggle Maps to see how long it should take you, plus allow time for traffic.
By meeting at 11:30 we have a better chance to get chairs (as they are limited) and stay close together.

Directions
Directions: Use GPS and or Mapquest to get up to Rte 80. Once on Rte 80 (decide if you need to head East or West. If in NJ head West on 80, if in PA will be heading East on 80) will need to get to exit 309, take ramp to US-209 North toward Marshalls Creek, Pass Dairy Queen in 0.9 mi on right
Minor Congestion in this area in summer at times. Then
go 3.6 mi to roundabout (circle), take 1st exit following Rte 209 North , go 1.5 mi past strip mall on left, past Wendy's on right, turn right at light onto Mt Nebo Rd, go up hill 0.8 mi to BIG parking lot on left (go in there to park & meet our group) Pool is just ahead on the right up on the hill, lodge is just beyog that on the right too. When we are crossing the road be careful as road is steep w/lots curves, and people tend to drive too fast on this rd. (Note: If you reach Naomi Ln or Ace Ln, you've gone too far)
I am new to meet up so just in case weather looks iffy again, I will log on here on Meetup and hit Cancel, and you can log on to check. Let's hope this time it's a sunny day.
