Day in Poconos-Dingmans Falls/Rainbow Mt

The weather was perfect, a great group of guys (some new folks to meet and some returning friends), the walk nice slow and easy, the water falls beautiful, the swimming pool wonderful, the relaxing in the sun/shade nice, the conversations/laughter just great.....What more could guys want on a relaxing type GO event? Will plan to host an event like this again next summer.

We're having a full fun filled day on August 20th, meeting at 9:30AM(SHARP!.) at Rainbow Mt. Resort (in the lower BIG  parking lot). We will car pool from there to get to Dingmans Falls by 10AM and spend a couple hours hiking/touring (BRING your camera...these water falls make for great pics). From there we head back to Rainbow Mt. for lunch. Please bring cash (small bills if possible) to pay for your own food/drink plus tax and tip. I will reserve tables for our group. After lunch, we'll step down to the pool to swim and relax (Rainbow Mt. Resort charges $6/person for pool use, cash only.. they also have a little bar near the pool and have changing rooms there as well) After words, if you want to stay longer they have happy hour at the main bar &  then later the night life begins at their dance club (Karaoke there is a blast!). Take a look at their website for details/times. If you want to stay over night (that is up to you but you don't have to of course), you'll have to call them directly to book a room. Do sign up however for this event asap so I can give them a head count for lunch. (check out their webstie for over night stay information) http://www.rainbowmountain.com/ . When you call, ask for Jayson & mention you are joining in on the Gayoutdoors.org group for Aug. 20th. I met with Jayson & they are thrilled we will be spending most of the day there, & maybe for some folks into the evening). The new management is making lots of wonderful s to the place, so you will def. enjoy  your stay there. That evening of Aug. 20th they are having an Illumination Party  (candle lit walk ways, black out at their night club w/glow stick necklaces/bracelets). During the day they also have paddle boats to take out on the pond, water volley ball, etc. NOTE: If looking around at other spots to stay,  I have ONE WARNING....I DO NOT SUGGEST THE SUPER 8 Motel in that area, just off rte 80. We had some direct homophobic experiences there not to long ago (FROM THEIR STAFF).
