Summer is right around the corner and so is the 5th annual Craigmeur camping / river trip on the Delaware river! With all the fun had on the past years, this trip is sure to be a blast. We will be camping at the Kittatiny facility on route 97 in NY Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18, and a short walk across the road to Landers Rafting on Saturday morning July 17 for an awesome day rafting, canoeing, and kayaking or anything else you want to use that floats-your-boat down the river. Oliver and Diane have offered up their services of Diamon Catering again for a Friday night pasta dinner, Saturday BBQ after we get off the water, and Sunday morning breakfast.
The planned trip is from the Mini Sink launch to Pond Eddy (approx 8 miles) with the option of staying on the water for an addition 8 miles to Nights Eddy for those that want to get the extra time on the river. A few members will be bringing trucks to shuttle any personal boats being used on that day and Landers will be shuttling all of our members and friends back up to the starting point. From there we’ll all enjoy another great BBQ and the bon fire to follow (bigger is better!)
We got all the rain out of the way on last years trip so we are hoping “Craigstock” stays dry this year, but it is a rain or shine event and we will have our good times as usual either way! Coming up for just Saturday on the water is an option also. Bring your water guns and we’ll see ya there!
Costs are expected to be similar to past years at: $30.00 for camping, $30.00 for rafting, and $25.00 for all three meals. Details, actual prices, and registration forms to follow. Comments / questions can go to Lee Desantis.

We ALL had fun and some had just a little “TOO” much fun! Despite the wet weather we rode and made it home safe and sound. Thanks to all who participated!
A record number of members came out to ride on this steamy Saturday morning! Trail conditions could not have been better – even the alt route via the dirt road back was completely mud and rock free. Most stayed on the prescribed trail, Laure being more adventurous decided to make her own path thru the woods – a few bumps and scratched later realized the dirt road was a safer option…
All but two that biked joined us for lunch at Casa Maya where we enjoyed burritos, enchiladas, and other tasty Mexican dishes.
See you next year…
Craig
Stayed tuned for some great pics…

What a great day ONCE AGAIN for Craigmeur Ski Club! The weather was PERFECT. We had 37 riders and more survived to the end than Chuck thought possible. Some of us “unnamed” people backed out early to ride an easier trail. But we all ended up at Chuck and Helene’s for a great feast of fun and laughter. Thanks to Chuck and Helene for opening their home to all of us!
Signed, the “unnamed”!

Saturday, June 5, 2010, 9:00am: 6th Annual Craigmeur Ski Club Bike Ride on the Columbia Trail (Rails to Trail). Rain or Shine! Pedal push off 9:15am Sharp ish
Please join us for a bike ride on this beautiful scenic trail that starts in High Bridge, NJ. The trail is an old railroad path that has been converted into a pedestrian and bike trail. The trail is flat, hard packed fine white gravel and suitable for beginner to advance bike riders. It is recommended that you use a mountain or hybrid bike, although racing bikes can easily navigate the first half of the trail. Friends of Craigmeur Ski Club are welcome to join us. The trail is free! After the trip we will meet at Casa Maya Mexican Resturant in High Bridge for food and refreshments. It is a BYOB so plan accordingly.
Please click here if you would like to learn more about this easy to bike trail.
Most people will want to do at least 12~14 miles of this round trip since it is the most scenic part of the trail. This part goes from Highbridge to Califon’s Old train station and then back. The more adventurous or advanced riders can do 16 miles round trip. The 16 mile route will be chosen based on weather conditions.
The trail is easy to get to by car. You can get there from Chester via Rt 24 or by Route 80 in the Netcong area. Here are directions.
Columbia Trail driving directions:
Or, if you have a GPS use address 69 Van Sycle Place, High Bridge NJ – it’ll bring you right to the lot.
The Columbia Trail is across the street from the parking lot. The Restaurant is a block away from the parking lot and is an easy walk.
Please give yourself ample driving time to reach High Bridge. From Chester NJ, High Bridge is about a half-hour driving time.
You may contact me via email by clicking here (preferred) or via cell 973-713-9169 if you have any questions.
I plan to be at all of the regular club meetings at The Exchange Restaurant, Rockaway, NJ to answer questions.
Recommend items: Water, Extra clean shirt and a towel to wipe off dust and grime, if any, before entering the restaurant.
The “END OF THE SEASON PARTY” will take place at THE EXCHANGE in Rockaway at 8pm. This evening will include extra beverages and mark the start of the newly elected board for the club. Entertainment will be provided by Hans Winkler.
