Captree- Anyone going this Sunday?

Just curious to know if anyone is planning to go to Captree this weekend. I am thinking about it, despite the weather.

Where is this place

I'd be interested in going one Sunday so long as it is not more than an hour outside of NYC. Not sure I want to drive farther than that to just hang out and look at cars.

Well it's basically a car show and a few cats cleaning out the combustion chambers. It's also like a 40 min drive or less from Manhattan if you are getting there b4 9:30am.

If it's anything like today you will freeze your nuts off! It's about 30 degrees with 40 mph winds. And, this place is basically on the ocean. Dress Warm

As a State park, don't they charge an admission/parking fee on the weekends during the winter?

The cars love the cold temps. Just have tires properly inflated lug nuts tightened.

I wasn't even awake until 10:30, what exit off the LIE is this place anyway?

In other words, if I'm 15 minutes outside the city to begin with, should I just pull an all nighter the night before?

Here's the route from Exit 49, Melville, which is the Nassau/ Suffolk border.
Even though Mapquest shows Northern Parkway, the LIE (495) is right below it on the map, get off at Exit 52 of the LIE,
southbound on the Sagtikos Pkwy, then just follow the signs to Robert Moses Sate Park.
Starts about 8.30 AM :
