depending on the amount of people, we can just go to my house.

You, sir, are too kind! In the case that the weather is bad, I'll give you a call before I start down that hill.

Just wanted to toss my hat into the "hopefully attending" ring. I still don't know if I'm definitely going to be free on tuesday but if I am im looking forward to taking the trip up, showing off my latest razors. And finally learning a bit about the art of honing which is the next step for my straight shaving journey. Thanks to Jeff for again setting up a great place to use and to Dylan for really spearheading this meet.

I have to day off so I can party for sure. I can bring my stereo microscope as well as my stones, I just need a ride across the bridge...

Are we talking from the NY Side to the NJ side? If so, I can run across and pick you up. I guess we are talking about 178?

Actually closer to 172 and Broadway. I can be ready to go any time.

OK, so we are set for tomorrow.
I will be there at about 1030-1100 ish. If I am not on time, just wait longer. Any questions post up today or PM.


OK, here are the directions. The place actually has no official address. It is the Fort Lee Police Department Pistol Range House. I have provided a map for your use. For GPS, you can use 1500 Palisade Avenue, Fort Lee NJ. You can also use the intersection of Palisade Avenue and Palisade Terrace. Be aware that the intersection has three street names on the Road posts:
Palisades Avenue runs North and south and is a 4 lane road. Palisades Terrace runs east off of Palisades Avenue and Riverdale Drive runs west. Sounds confusing but it is not and when you see it, you'll understand.

The range house is behind (east) of the building at 1500 Palisades Terrace at the bottom of the hill. If coming from the south, you need to make a RIGHT TURN onto Palisades Terrace. If coming from the North you need to make a LEFT TURN onto Palisades Terrace.

Once on Palisades Terrace continue east about 100 feet and you'll see a parking lot in front of you. Turn to your left to avoid the lot then immediately turn to your right. Continue down the hill you'll fist see the Entrance to the range and then the range house. ( this is sort of a little "S" curve to get to the range.)

Basically, the range house is behind 1500 Palisade Avenue at the bottom of the hill.

Also, big tip here. If you get lost ask any FL cop for directions to THEIR pistol range.




Subway. Use the A train express to the 178 Street, George Washington Bridge Terminal. Walk upstairs to the Bus station. Take ANY bus over the Bridge and get off at the FIRST STOP. Walk up the steps to Lemoine Avenue and walk south (facing the Bridge, south is to your right). Lemoine becomes Palisade Avenue. About 3/4 mile on your left you'll see 1500 Palisade. Walk left, down the hill to the range. If you like, PM Me, and I'll give you my cell. I can pick you up at the Bridge

I hope everyone's getting excited. I know I am. I brought the big green shrimp, for the hone guys to play with.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

LOL Justin!

I had a great time today. Again, thanks to Jeff for hosting and providing the Dunkin's. Thanks to everyone who came and brought their toys for us to play with.

For those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you. Hopefully there will be another meet I can make it to in the near future.
