UDPATED TO SHOW WHAT I THINK IS OUR BETTER TREK, WHICH IS TO MAKE IT TO HAWK'S NEST:
OK T-Party, I had some time this afternoon so I subscribed to RideWithGPS and planned a route. FYI, it's $9.99/month for the paid version or you can use the free version, but I think only the paid version gives you speaking turn-by-turn directions. It's $9.99/month and you can cancel any time. Tip: Our ride IS LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY, so you can sign up now and cancel after the ride.
Route B (FROM ABOVE)
Here's a suggestion, if we want to push to Hawk's nest, we can remove two loops as shown below. This removes about 30 miles of slow roads, so likely 45-60 minutes of drive time.
UPDATED ROUTE ALL THE WAY TO THE END (BEGINNING) OF HAWK'S NEST, OUR TURNAROUND POINT.

I'm here!
I personally would not remove the Greenwood Lake loop. I would rather spend more time driving then parked. But that's just me and I am flexible and go with the flow. If we are starting early enough in the day, we can do the lake loop and then at the spot in Warwick, guys can decide to head west to Hawks Nest or venture home. Many people will be in a new area and it would be nice to show off our good roads to them!

Is anyone else alive? Bueller? Bueller?
I've been doing some more map-exploring and it looks like our turnaround point, at the furthest, is Barryville, NY. From there, unless traffic dictates otherwise, we can reverse it and drive the Hawk's Nest run again. After all, I'm sure many of us won't be up that way for a long time. For me, it's over 2.5 hours home. It's 4 hours to Boston from there.
Oh, and BTW, I think we may need to officially change the name of this thread and event to: The 911T-Party Meet up & Hawk's Nest Run. All in favor? If so, we'll ask the @moderator to change it.

Realized that I never subscribed to this thread so I've been missing all the updates.

I'll load the Greenwood Lake loop in one of the maps. It adds about 17 miles. We can decide later whether or not to include it.

Just checking, are we planning on meeting up first, chatting, take pics etc. before the drive? Would be cool to get to know everyone first.

I'm good with that. Flexible. Was the loop around the lake I originally mapped the right path to take?
Agreed! I just bought new ones, and after doing some research online, I bought these as a great balance of performance and price:

- I use google maps
- Lay out the route using "destination" points along the way to ensure that google doesn't tweak the route in real time
- Pre-load offline maps of the area into google maps shortly before the event; this enables the app to use satellite location to keep me on the route even if I lose cell signal
